Re: Jumbo putting grips

OK, finally got my first round of golf in since last week (weather and going to my son's tournies had me off the course). I tabulated the my putting stats, felt a little rusty, but here goes:

Rnd 1 - score= 84 (26 putts).
9x 1-putts (4, 7, 10, 6, 9, 5, 6, 4, 10, 5 feet)
9x 2-putts/second putts from (1st putt/2nd-putt):
(20/<1, 25/2, 18/<1, 30/3, 25/3, 15/3, 18/<1, 20/3,30/5)

Therefore, made all putts 10 feet and less for 19/19 from 10 feet and in (includes 1-putts and 2nd of 2-putts) (that's 100% from 10-ft and in).

I'm playing another round today.

OK, I can see where I said "I increased my 80-90% range from 8-ft to 12-ft it sounds like I'm 80% of all putts at 12 feet. Didn't mean it that way because you get putts of all lengths when playing...I meant my improvement in putting has extended the length to which I can still get 80-90% of all putts made (that includes all shorter ones as well)....sorry if it was error in presentation.

Ever since putting it on (geesh, had to really use a lot of solvent, I thought I was getting stuck when it was half-way on), I've started making putts from further out. I've always considered myself a very good putter, but geesh, I'm starting to increase my 80-90% range from 8 feet out to 12 feet. I hold the grip at the bottom where it starts to taper (I've always had my index finger of my back hand straight out along the shaft. I know I have fairly large hands....use mid-size grips with 2 wraps on my irons/driver. It feels really comfortable, for sure.
