[arbitrage]

I also did the same grip high/grip low experiment and definitely have better results with gripping it low. I find when I grip it high I look like I am doing the 'funky chicken' and start spraying my putts.

It could simply be that holding it higher up on the grip, my elbows are sticking out more and it would naturally be a handsy wrist-breaking move that I don't like whereas holding the grip down lower, my elbows/arms are extended more downward and I can more readily make a putting stroke moving my arms back and forth extended where my arms are rather hanging...I like that much better. I've experimented with this and I have proven to myself this to be somewhat so and is why I like to grip my putter lower (it may also give some stability with the grip sticking further up above where I'm gripping the club, kind of like a fulcrum balance?

My father-in-law (~85 yrs old) saw my new putter grip and picked up my putter and he liked it and requested one. I picked one up and put it on his old putter (I think the grip was worth 2x more than the putter) and he started making unbelievable putts. At one point this weekend, he even picked his putter grip up to his mouth and kissed it, lol. Amazing how something that makes such a small change in comfort can affect strokes like that.
