Recommend me a pistol grip


Joelsim

Recommended Posts

I’ve just bought a Cleveland Huntington Beach #10, new, for next to nothing so I want to improve the grip. Currently it has the standard Cleveland grip and I want a jumbo pistol.

 

I’m more comfortable with my Bettinardi jumbo Lamkin cords that a Superstroke 2.0 midsize, the diameter on these is similar but the shield shape suits my grip.

 

Recommend me some of your favourites please, initial looks by me suggested the Winn Dri-Tac Jumbo pistol, the Superstroke GTR 2.0, the Golf Pride Tour SNSR 140cc and possibly the P2 React Tour.

 

What should I be looking at as well as the above?

I have the smaller SNSR grip on my putter and I love it! I also like the new SS pistol grip but not as much as the SNSR

I've had the SS pistol GTR Tour (2 years) and 1.0 (Hated 1.0) and Flatso 1.0 (Good grip, not pistol though), Cameron Pistolero (a bit firm), SNSR Blue ( smaller one, straight), Lamkin Deep etched (Bettinardi) .

Some of these are not pistol grips, I know.

Currently I'm playing the new SNSR Pistol Tour 105cc, 90 gm. Really like it, great feel in hand, large enough to be like a mid size while not weighing too much.

I think I'll be sticking with it for a long time.

BTW, I put left hand low.

I'd like to find 1 for a Stroke Lab but the 2 I like (SNSR Contour Pro, Traxion GT Tour 1.0) are too heavy.

I'm not a fan of the foam rubber top layer grips, tried them several times and for me just not enough feel and feedback.

I like the Iomic classic mid-size but my go to grip the Ping PP58 mid-size grip, it has the perfect shape and feel and weighs in at 74 grams. I usually blackout the Ping lettering. Have thought about the Pure Midsize but haven't seen any pictures of the shape and like a pistol shape.

Assuming the headweight and grip weight are the same a shorter putter will have a lighter swingweight. That's why Scotty Cameron uses heavier weights as the length of his putters decreases...to keep the SW up where he wants it.

 

Here's a good little article that talks about some of the details.

He wanted to feel the putter head more so he uses a Winn jumbo lite grip, fiddy grams? He putts well with it but gotta admit he thinks a little smaller would feel better. Can’t have everything..,oh, and he’s not really cognizant of feeling the putter head better with this setup.

I need something for my Strokelab. I really like the Pistol GT 1.0 but it's almost 20 grams heavier than stock.

> I won’t be changing the grip on this putter in the near future, even though I’ve bought one. I played with it today, no three putts, lag putts all really close. Hugely impressed especially as it only cost me £45 new. I shall buy another putter to try out the Winn Pistol grip I bought. ?

 

Hmm, I can’t be trusted. The Winn grip is now on my Cleveland. After deciding I didn’t need 7 putters and that 6 was enough...

 

The grip is really nice and the swingweight also seems very nice and nothing untoward after a few carpet putts just now. The proof will be in the putting, so to speak.

 

Hopefully the Bettinardi BB39 will arrive tomorrow to make the 6.

SuperStroke 1.0 P .....all time favorite but can be hard to find/buy. Lamkin deep etched is my 2nd choice. Both weigh roughly 80-83 grams.

I liked the SS Pistol 2.0, but my current favorite is the SS Traxion Claw 2.0. It has a pistol top hand and rectangular lower hand. I started out using it with a claw grip, but now I primarily use a standard (slight overlap) grip and it has been great for keeping my SBST stroke on path. Also has the SS counterweight system if you like more weight in the hands.

Just went with a Super Stroke Pistol GT 2.0 on my Scotty Newport that had a Scotty Medium pistol grip on it. The new grip is bigger, weight a smidge less, and feel amazing. Really liking the balance of the putter and I think the larger grip (especially on the right hand) really allows me to stroke the ball better.

Did you by any chance try the Claw 2.0 and Pistol GT 2.0 side by side? If so, what is the shape difference? I like the flat/square lower portion of the Claw, but would go for the slightly larger diameter of the Pistol if it has the same shape. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a Pistol GT locally....
