Long putter stroke using the claw grip.

Golf can be a lot simpler, a lot more fun, by mastering a few basic fundamentals. One of these is the putting grip. Keith demonstrates how by gripping the putter in your palms, rather than in your fingers, you can remove unwanted wrist motion from your putting. The result is a more consistent putting stroke. And a more consistent stroke leads to more putts made. Since putting is 40-45% of every golfer’s score, regardless of skill level, improving your putting is the fastest way to reduce your score. Regardless of whether you use a conventional grip, a cross-handed grip, the “claw” grip, or a belly or long putter, gripping the putter in your palms can improve your stroke. Grip the putter in your palms. Caress the putt with your right palm. Make more consistent strokes. Make more putts!

Together they review Webb Simpson’s playoff win with a long putter, wonder if Faldo’s assertion that Tiger’s best days are behind him is true, and debate if a woman will ever make it on the PGA Tour.
