This grip shape features a slight flare at the top and a narrow, tapered design. A 1.0 size suits golfers with average-sized hands and provides a comfortable grip for a pendulum-like putting stroke. The traditional pistol grip promotes a natural feel, particularly in the top hand, and allows for consistent control throughout the putting motion. This is great for any golfer with a slight to even moderate arc in their putting stroke.

As the name suggests, this grip shape is larger in diameter, providing a more substantial grip for the hands. Something like a Tour 3.0. The oversized grip promotes a relaxed and tension-free hold, reducing excessive wrist movement. It is ideal for golfers who struggle with maintaining a steady stroke or desire enhanced stability during the swing. These two technical variables align to assist a nice straight-back, straight-through putting stroke.

A flat-sided grip shape, like the Flatso 2.0 used by Jordan Speith, offers a more square-like design, promoting a square face alignment at address. It suits golfers who tend to manipulate the putter face during their stroke and require added stability. The flat sides of the grip encourage a consistent face position, not only tactically, but also visually. Larger and longer versions of the flat-sided grip like SuperStroke’s Flatso 3.0 17 are also useful for Armlock.

These would be your technique specific grips like the Zenergy Claw or Zenergy Wristlock. These grip shapes incorporate curves or contours to fit the natural shape of the hands. Having a technique specific grip provides increased comfort and reduces hand fatigue during extended putting sessions and the ergonomic design encourages proper hand placement, promoting a reliable and repeatable putting stroke.
