Now That Is a Putter Grip


What? You go standard with your grips? Just go get the ones off the shelf? Enjoy having the grip too small for your hands so it's a tad uncomfortable as you're trying to with that $30 nassau? Matt Bettencourt laughs in your face.

Why? Because Bettencourt uses real putting grips. Ones made from the trunks of trees or steel beams in high-rises. If he can't find enough thickness from those places, he sometimes will use Mark McGwire's forearms to grip his putter. That is how Bettencourt roles. He needs no sympathy from you, Regular Grip D-Bag, because he finds pleasure in width. Girth has a middle name and it's Bettencourt. If his wrists break during a putting stroke, it's because Zeus himself came down and struck him with a lightening bolt. That's all that could do it, folks. Zeus or bust.

Does anybody know if Scott Verplank still wraps his putter grip with new gauze tape prior to every round? I know he started in college, but I haven't paid attention lately.

He said it felt like a brand new grip every day...

Isn't this the grip KJ Choi has been spruiking and using?

I think this is very similar to KJ's grip, if not exactly the same. I used one kind of like this at the PGA show, but it was called the 2 Thumb Grip. Pretty interesting. I putted better with it.

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
