Setup Form and Swing Speed

Hi Terry,
We do offer grips if necessary, however I would work with the grip that comes with the putter for a while before you think of changing it. The L2 grip on the Traditional Putter is 1inch square, 16" long, and weighs 200 grams. The weight is important for the balance.
Now that you will have a larger and heavier club head, your fingers, hands, and wrists will not easily get into the stroke as was the case with the lighter, smaller putters. Oversize grips do a good job of minimizing hand control, but their light weight does nothing for balance.
The L2 square shape gives you options for hand grips, along with the additional length, to help you to establish a posture that will allow for shoulder and arm "freedom of motion".
Now your hands will be too busy holding onto the club to get involved with controlling the stroke.
thanks for your question and feel free to contact me with any other questions or issues.

Hi Chastel,
You sound like a dedicated golfer who has worked long on acheiving a repeatable stroke. Your FEEL motivation and arm securing stroke is a classic method for putting most putters on the market as successfully as they can be putted.
I too believe in touch and feel in putting, however, I see this as a distance factor only. On an average putt, We see our distance to be covered,estimate the green conditions for grain, and break, and then use our binocular vision to translate all of this into the energy input we wish to transfer to the ball.
The trick comes when we transfer all this to feel. We do a great deal of our feel with our fingers, hands, and wrists. Unfortunatly, these are the muscles that we try to avoid when putting because there are so many of them that a misfire is very possible. And when the adrenaline rush gets going, they become super charged, making them almost feel like someone elses hands when you need them most.
The concept of a big heavy putter is to allow back stroke size to determine distance not hitting energy. The fact that a larger heavy object will remain stable as it passes through the air, and is capable of transferring more energy on its own simply because of the momentum it can generate is fact.
To use a putter such as this does require a free motion without upper arm anchoring and a shoulder/arm movement that will release the clubhead on the backstroke as well as the follow-through in order to maintain a square face , down the line.
The putters on the market are trying to fit into a disigned stroke that has been built to swing these putter designs. It is a very interesting cycle which appears as though they giving a multitude of options in looks and designs, when in fact, they perform the same. It now becomes a matter of "personal preference" to the golfer that decides which putter fits him. I see it as a great sales angle that has club companies spending millions to promote a club based on looks, feel and touch, who uses it, and personal preferences when in fact the designs themselves do not actually help you putt better.
The comment that fishing lures are not designed to catch fish, they are designed to catch fisherman can easily apply to putters.
The simple fact that some of the best golfers out there today, are anchoring these clubs to their body in an effort to stabilize them for more stroke size is a testimony to their instibility. You will notice though, that the USGA is still going to allow elbows to be anchored to the body after 2016, which, to my knowledge, does not match a full "traditional" golf swing anymore than anchor putting does, but is almost a must if a small light putter is to be used....But that is another topic.
