I tried that grip first time in Turkey two weeks ago. Had 5 3-5m putts for first five holes and made 4 of them. Total putts that round, even I wasn't really trying to play score, 25. Once more I asked... why the hell they didn't tell this to me 20 years ago |

I'm interested with anything that can help with speed/touch.

What can help with speed/touch? Isn't this internal and just learned through practice and our own God given talent? The more I practice the better my touch. No other way around it for me.

There is two ways it can help. First of all when you got more stable club head, you can learn easier to control the speed. Secondly when you don't have to worry about if you putt it on line, you can concentrate totally to the speed. With this system I also felt that when my left hand is blocked, I can totally control the speed with my stronger right hand. Before if I used my right hand, it easily rotated the putter face. Those were my experiences. |

Mangum explains how our brain has touch built inside and how to use the rythm and tempo of the stroke to get the best speed towards the cup in his 'Reality of Putting' DVD.
That alone is worth buying the DVD.

With this system I also felt that when my left hand is blocked, I can totally control the speed with my stronger right hand. Before if I used my right hand, it easily rotated the putter face. Those were my experiences. In addition, Craig Foster in the video talks about how having a mechanism that stabilizes the grip and clubhead, makes it so that you can loosen your grip, increasing your feel. I've always heard that you should have a light grip on your putter for feel and that makes sense to me. Imagine rolling a ball towards a hole with a very strained/tight grip vs rolling a ball towards with a soft touch. The problem is that there seems to be a tradeoff in keeping the clubface square when you loosen the grip. This new grip purports to allow you to have a stable clubface with a soft grip and just from messing with it for 20min I'd say it accomplishes that. |
