Change out putter grip

bill.ig · May 16

So I lost my 2017 TM Berwick putter with a SS Pistol 1.0 grip. I really liked that putter and was really dialed in - it was a great mixture of steadiness in the short putts and touch in the longer putts. So nosing around the usual places for a TM Berwick replacement putter and have a few candidates but all of them have other grips and the primary candidates have what look like to be SS Fatso (maybe 3.0) grips. If I buy one of them I'd replace the Fatso with a Pistol 1.0 grip from GolfWorks.

I've changed grips on my irons and woods before and removed the old grips using a carpet cutting blade but I have no idea on how to remove a Fatso grip from a putter. Can you all help guide me through this?

Tried to search the forums but came up with nothing. Thanks.

Superstroke grips cut the same way regular grips do. Regular hook blade. They just take a little extra work.

Make sure you use enough solvent for the new grip install. The SS grips can be a little tough to get on the shaft at first, but other than that no different than any other grip.

@rsballer10 thanks for the feedback. Will try to exercise patience when cutting off the grip.

Appreciate the response.

I've used a razor blade and cut right down the back seam on SS grips in the past with good results.

Thanks. Found a putter on EBay and bought a grip from Golfworks. Scheduled to be delivered early next week. In the meantime using a TM Spider which is money on the short putts but have difficulty with distance control.
