The Karma Big Softy 1.3 16” Long Putter Grip meets the needs of golfers who prefer mid-length putters. This extended length putter grip is sized between 15 and 17 inch putter grips commercially available to serve double duty for those with alternative putter preferences.
Three Mid Length Putter Options
Ever since the USGA and R&A banned anchoring the putter to the body on January 1, 2016, users of long and belly putters began to look for new ways to make the stroke simpler and stress-free. I personally use a 38” counter-balanced putter. I have not found a better putter where I grip down 2” on a longer length putter grip and there is a 60g counterweight inside the butt end. It takes the wrists out of the stroke and forces me to use the bigger muscles in upper body to propel the putter. Effortless!
However, not all golfers who successfully use mid-length putters prefer to use a counterweight. One option is they rely on the weight of the grip to act as a counterweight. The Karma Big Softy 1.3 putter grip weighs 93 grams. With the grip extending an inch or two from touching their belly, the person might hold the grip midway or 4 inches down from the grip end.
Another option for the Big Softy 1.3 16” putter grip is for armlock putters. It is 5.5” longer than a standard putter grip allowing it to rest against the player’s forearm, but short of the elbow.
As you can see, the Karma Big Softy 1.3 16” putter grip is versatile. The 1.3 in the name indicates that this jumbo putter grip is 1.3” in diameter. Not only is it big, but polyurethane skin is soft and comfortable too.
