Joel, it looks like you are trying to use the wrist lock more as an arm lock with the flared butt too far up your arm. The design looks as though the flared part is supposed to nestle into the wrist just above the thumb pad, i.e. the actual wrist. That way you wouldn't need a longer putter than you normally use.
I have just purchased this today for £29.95 which included fitting at Keele Golf Range, as a 14hc my weakest part of game has always been putting from short range, especially with the new metal cover on the flag in recent months. A good reader of greens and long distance putting better than most. However I come off most rounds saying I missed 6-10 short putts, very annoying when you know your capable of rounds under 80 based on keeping up with single figure hc players apart from the amount of unsuccessful putts per round....looking forward to trialling in the next 3 comps this week. Totally agree with the positioning of putter very forward and forward lean, however I had started to do this myself but should take out the wrist movement. I am worried I will lose the length consistency with this style but will just have to practice longer on this part of the game....will let you know progress over the next month. Great video btw!
You are using the grip incorrectly. It's designed to fit into the bend of your wrist. You have it too far up the left forearm, thus defeating the purpose of the design, which incidentally, works well when positioned as designed
Have you actually used the grip? I have, and it’s not protruding out far enough to actually lock in the the bend of your wrist. It’s designed to give to a way to lock in your wrist and not de-loft your putter as much as a traditional long putter grip while also not requiring such a long putter length as an arm lock shaft
@@RedSp4de Yes I've had this grip on my putter for about 8 months. You have a valid point and I had to play around with my left hand grip to get it in the correct position for me. I've always had the tendency to breakdown my left wrist at impact and thought this grip would help correct the problem. I had to rotate my left hand under (weaker) to get the wrist lock feature to fit as advertised. I did not lengthen my putter. So long story short this grip has worked well for me.
He had the proper assessment about lengthening the shaft…so then the question, how did he test it without setting it up correctly? How about getting the club setup for wrist lock and then testing?
I bought one recently and maybe it’s just me but I didn’t like it. Ended up getting a tour 3.0 and put a 75 gram counter weight in it since the putter head felt heavy and then switched to the claw grip and have seen a huge improvement in my putting in the short time I’ve been doing it.
This is a concept I’d love to try. I’ve always thought about making a custom grip just like this because it fits my stroke personally. I didn’t even know it existed yet. Thanks for the review.
So question, does this grip technically extend the lenght of your putter shaft? is there an extra 2-3 inches that the shaft does not slide into where it rests against your wrist? My assumtion is that there is "extra length" on the grip seeing that it is roughly 13" long. Just trying to make sure this doesn't mean I have to grip my putter 3 inches lower to access the "wrist lock" position.
@@billhrank5327 Yeah, I had my question answered when mine was delivered. I out a 2 inch shaft extension in to compensate for the increased grip size. The video is on my channel if you want to check it out!
Before trying this grip need to have an Armlock putter. Mine is 39” in length, 75 degrees lie angle and 5 degrees loft. Best be fitted to get putter lengthened and bent to your specs so ball rolls nicely. And putter can’t extend beyond crease in arm because then illegal/non-conforming, but you want it as close thereto for max control (again that’s why you need to be fitted). But trying this grip on a regular putter, like in this video, doesn’t give you any information about its effectiveness because it was designed for an Armlock putter.
No. No no no. He’s just using it wrong. It’s meant to lock into the wrist. Hence why it’s called wrist lock. He’s trying to turn it into an arm lock by pressing it into the forearm. So you don’t need an armlock putter. It’s literally the core concept of this grip to not do that.
I know this is an older video, but you were not using this grip correctly. you don 't grip down low, so you don't want to lengthen the putter. You actually need to to go the other way. the bend is supposed to be a above the palm. You need to take this video down it is absolutely incorrect.
genobambino What are you talking about buddy? The Flat Cat has a completely different shape. It is pretty obvious. The only thing similar is the color actually.
that much sfaft lend you have to change loft an lie bend the putter shaft to get it back to were it is now.you have to add shaft to the end of putter shaft cause if you dont it will be to short an cause you miss putts there a lot to using this grip not just put it on an go
nothing new in golf , this is a copy of an idea from 20 odd years ago from a small company called Dandy Golf putters . works better with a puuter that has forward shaft lean an no offset
No complaints from me if my putting improves, but guaranteed complainants from my competitors if they notice the improvement. Be prepared to defend yourself each time and whip out the rule book. Get it before the loophole is closed. LOL
This putter is not for me but I don't think it should be illegal. To me there's no difference in holding it in the hands or using part of the wrist. Both are technically 'anchoring' in that you are securing something so it doesn't move. I also had the pleasure of playing with a gentleman with one arm once who putted by locking the putter against his wrist else he struggled. Banning may hinder someone who already is facing a disadvantage such as this. (although he was better than me!)

I turned off after you missed the first putt.

Hows the progres,

immediately thought the same pretty ridiculous lol

i currently use the Ping Sigma 2, which set at 32". I will extend the length to 36 " and try that putting method. I will update you with any results.
Results??
@@Theburgerhole It worked to a degree. i found it altered the face angle of the putter.
I bought one recently and maybe it’s just me but I didn’t like it. Ended up getting a tour 3.0 and put a 75 gram counter weight in it since the putter head felt heavy and then switched to the claw grip and have seen a huge improvement in my putting in the short time I’ve been doing it.
Old video but there is now a company called Arm-Lock that has come up with a grip solution that gives the loft back to the putter.
This is a concept I’d love to try. I’ve always thought about making a custom grip just like this because it fits my stroke personally. I didn’t even know it existed yet. Thanks for the review.
Looks like the most use would be in working out the friendly 'putter length gimmes!!'
how does it work if you putt cross handed?
You dont use this for cross handed......um, duh.

I have this grip on my putter. It adds about 1/4" - 1/2" to the putter length

Will this grip work for a spider putter ?
Can the Wrist Lock version be used with the Prayer Grip?
You need to have a putter with extra loft to use this grip, or you need to have a ball position that is very far forward.
I think I’d need a longer shaft for it to go up to my elbow
You need to add two inches to the shaft when in stalling the super stroker.

I used this grip for a while. Like most other things works for a while then doesn't.
Interesting idea, but it seems one that, like the long putter (anchored or not), should not be legal. But if it works...
Perfectly legal as it should be
Where can I get this grip in the uk?
I know this is an older video, but you were not using this grip correctly. you don 't grip down low, so you don't want to lengthen the putter.
You actually need to to go the other way. the bend is supposed to be a above the palm.
You need to take this video down it is absolutely incorrect.
If you’re gonna rip-off the Flat Cat, at least use different colors.
genobambino What are you talking about buddy? The Flat Cat has a completely different shape. It is pretty obvious. The only thing similar is the color actually.
Not supposed to be on the forearm. Just above the palm. :)
Does that guy know his right hand has mind of its own😂😂😂

Not for me.
better make sure you love this grip before you change everything to your favorite putter want ever be same again
Cricket bat stroke at play
You're a teaching professional? You aren't even using the putter correctly. Of course you're bent over too much lol
Completely using the product wrong. It’s a WRISTLOCK not an armlock….wow
Going to, unfortunately, have to give you a downvote... you are not using the grip right. miseducating a lot of people watching.
I think this should be illegal. The long putter was banned. Everyone should have to hold the putter with just the hands. This is a type of anchoring.

Its not anchoring. Frankly anyone who thinks it is, is a fool who shouldn't be commenting to begin with.
