I’m going to show with you today exactly
 how I came to the conclusion to use my
 putter grip now no matter if you’ve seen
 the putter grip you can see in the
 thumbnail or it’s a claw it’s left hand
 low hands together I’m going to show you
 exactly what foundations you need when
 holding this golf club okay also
 depending on what thickness of putter
 grip you have I’m going to recommend
 what grip style you should be looking
 for because some are better than others
 now you might be thinking why are we
 looking get this today well we got a
 question in here from Harry mosa and
 said hi Alex thank you very much for the
 support and all the commitment I have a
 pistol putter grip what type of grip
 would you recommend for a pistol grip so
 pistol grip is one of those very thin
 grips so as well as recommending that
 we’re going to look at medium grips
 thick grips but what foundations do you
 need let’s start there there are five
 fundamentals that you need we’re going
 to go through each of them one by one by
 the way I’m definitely a fly out person
 I don’t know how Matt Fitzpatrick puts
 with the flag in but what are you are
 you flag in or flag out I mean I always
 think this who’s meet a question about
 Fitzpatrick he’s one of the best Putters
 on tour but for me just doesn’t look
 great with the flag here right there are
 five fundamentals and as we go through
 these I bet you there’s a moment in time
 where you go BL neck have I’ve been
 doing it wrong all this time I know
 there will be so the first one on our
 list is elbows now I know you might be
 thinking well Alex what has this got to
 do with our grip but it sets the
 foundations for control so we don’t want
 elbows out we want elbows in and Palms
 up to start with let’s get in that
 position now you’ll also notice those
 elbows are not behind my rib cage
 they’re not sitting in front they’re on
 the side of my rib cage so almost like I
 always picture this I’m covering up this
 seam on my shirt well my Julie okay this
 seam right here I’m covering it up get
 them on the side of the body there
 should be a little bit of pressure there
 too just pressing a little bit so we got
 our Palms inside the body Point number
 one we then have to go for Point number
 two we need to bring our palms down and
 facing and thumbs down okay so as we’re
 bringing our hands down we’re Palms
 facing thumbs down as Point number two
 need our thumbs down and essentially
 just takes our wrists out the goal shot
 when our thumbs are pointing down
 there’s far less movement that they can
 make when they’re pointing up or in this
 position we got far more movement and
 think well that does more movement to
 our club face so Point number two Palms
 facing and thumbs down now let’s get our
 hands on this golf club what I like to
 have if you see these Ridges of our
 putter as Point number three I like to
 feel as though the club is running
 through my lifelines so you can see
 there the meaty part isn’t on top like
 you would on a traditional normal grip
 it’s very much running through my
 lifelines just there like that on each
 of my hands okay so think ridges and
 lifelines let me hold this up too so you
 can see that so Point number three in
 the lifelines I’m sort of putting that
 grip in there just like that not there
 like that again we’re trying to minimize
 wrists we don’t need wrists in this shot
 wrists are like power want to take them
 out of this shot a little bit so Point
 number three on our list is that we’re
 trying to get the club in our Lifeline
 so like just just look at that position
 there and then that it really feels that
 you’ve got real good control of that put
 ahead okay Point number four in our list
 we always want the Palms facing now I
 know I mentioned that when we bringing
 our thumbs down but when we’re putting I
 like to have our palms facing each other
 think about it logically it’s like an
 equal and opposite Force even if you go
 with variations they should still be
 facing each other to some degree I mean
 on here it might be slightly different
 but I like to have the palm facing each
 other as close as possible and number
 five on our list my personal preference
 and this is how I came to the conclusion
 of making my grip which I’ll show you
 exactly and where a lot of golfers go
 wrong when I teach them is having these
 hands as close together as possible we
 don’t want a big difference we don’t
 want them difference here want them as
 close together as possible in my opinion
 so this is how I make my grip so the
 five fundamentals are here on the side
 of the screen we want to have our elbows
 on the side of the body thumb com down
 clubbing the lifelines Palm facing and
 hands as close together as possible so
 if you look at my grip here coming close
 I do it like this so I’m
 interlocking these three fingers with my
 first a little bit like this so when it
 comes together it’s very much like that
 like that so with the putter there and
 if I turn my clo upside down for you in
 a second as well you’ll really see that
 from the underneath have a look at that
 there that’s how my hands are on this
 golf club now you notice I’ve got I
 would say like a medium to thick grip
 and that’s really allowing me to get
 those hands together as close as
 possible we’re going to talk about those
 variations in a second but first let’s
 try and hold this putt I’ve left myself
 a stinker here downhill right to left
 relatively quick get your hands on and
 just get it rocked back and through tell
 this has got some movement on it go go
 oh left it in the Jaws that’s a decent
 put though very decent put right let’s
 talk through variations of what you can
 do variation number one the claw what I
 would do and recommend if you want to
 try this Claw is have my top hand in
 this lifelines as I suggested before but
 with the claw our bottom hand so our
 right hand for a right hander our left
 hand for left hander is literally claing
 this grip between our first finger and
 our thumb so it should look a little bit
 of something like that now the
 personally I’m not a big fan of
 this it feels a little bit weird but
 that is one of the variations you could
 try he says holding this one maybe I
 should the next one is left hand low so
 my top hand my right hand now is at the
 top of the golf club in the lifelines of
 this Ridge and then I go left hand low
 again matching the lifelines now one
 thing I like to do I like to have my
 right hand finger running across my
 little finger and the finger next to it
 just like that now this is a very
 popular grip on tour just and actually
 with a lot of Ami because it gets those
 shoulders level look how level my
 shoulders are and I’ll be honest it’s a
 putter grip I have also used in the past
 so if you’re going to try this make sure
 you match L to the Palms in the
 lifelines and the fingers just like this
 the final two before we move on to grip
 thickness and what’s best for what grip
 pencil grip I like to have my finger
 when I do the pencil grip running down
 the side of the shaft like this and
 these fingers just behind essentially
 when you’re using a grip like this
 you’re trying to take out that bottom
 hand from getting a bit overactive
 through the shot as you can see I’m not
 really a fan of these but I need to show
 you what’s Best in terms of what you can
 do if you’re going to try them because I
 don’t want you to go wrong and the final
 one is the saw similar to The Claw but
 the claw the hand was more down the saw
 the hand fingers work more across if I’m
 being perfectly honest I really hate
 this grip I would go no way near it but
 of course you might like them give them
 a go who knows you might love the saw
 grip all I want to do is show you
 exactly if you’re thinking of trying
 them what you should look for now let’s
 talk grip thickness if you’ve got a put
 a grip that is really really thick I’d
 be looking getting those hands as close
 together as possible taking a grip like
 this where the hands are evenly spread
 each side so for example if you use like
 a two thumb grip or really oversized
 grip that is what I would look for now
 as you go to a thinner grip let’s just
 say a little bit thicker than my shaft
 you want to be really looking Maybe
 about how I do it but just with the
 hands on a thinner grip that’s what I
 would really recommend right hand
 slightly low hands close together and
 this finger running down now one thing
 you’ll realize in a thinner grip is that
 it’s harder to get this club in those
 lifelines so being perfectly honest I’m
 not telling you what grip to go and get
 but I like grips that are on the medium
 to thick side of things I just think
 they’re much better for golfers and
 that’s the trend that we see happening

What grip are you going to use?
Flag in. Moves the game on.
Would it be awful if I put one of those grips on my Scotty Cameron putter?
Alex, I appreciate your tips. They’ve helped shave a few strokes off my game. I have a question about eye dominance. I’ve conducted all the tests and I’m left eye dominant and a right handed golfer. Do you have any tips on head position or setup? Thank you much. Al Smith
I use the claw grip and just had the new golf pride grip fitted regular pistol, it’s the most comfortable grip I’ve used 👍.
Just put one of the reverse tapers on my putter flat large. Works so good im a believer for sure
Get tips as always thanks 😎👍
Elliott i will try this method, Last time i tried Sergio Garcias saw grip and went and played, 3 putted first 2 holes and i panicked and abandoned Sergio's grip and went back to my old grip 😢.
Helpful will try this out
