A Putter Grip Buyers Guide
Recently Winn Grips introduced their new Pro X putter models and it reminded me of how quickly the size and shape of putter grips have evolved in such a short period of time. After all, Winn revolutionized grips approximately 25 years ago with the first golf grips made of a soft polyurethane (PU) material wrapped around a rubber underlisting. These synthetic putter grips felt so good, and their jumbo model was so much softer and lighter than rubber putter grips of similar size.
In the past 10 years, the choice of putter grips used by golfers have changed dramatically. Modern putter grips are larger, softer, colorful, and less tapered than grips previously made. Let's explore what each of these benefits are.

5 Useful Tips for Fitting a Golf Club
Golfers reach out to me every day about what type of equipment is best for their game. In cases where it is over the phone or an email and you can't see the player hit clubs in person, one must rely solely on what the customer says. Here are some tips that will help you self-fit and find what you need more efficiently.
Write it Down
One of the best tips I can give is to take good notes. For instance, your golfing buddy let you hit his brand-new driver and you go "Holy cow, I really liked that!" Or perhaps, you went to a Demo Day and just beat the snot out of a driver. What really did you like better than what you are currently playing?
Line it up with your driver. Was it longer? Did it have greater or less loft? Look at the numbers on the heel or sole. What shaft and flex did it have?
