New to Mount Lawley Golf Club is the Kotahi Putting Grip – due in early October this uniquely designed grip encourages the palms to face up, this in turn reduces the available mobility in the joints of the hands and arms, this then affects how the putter is moved through space and reduces the vast amounts of putter face and putter head variations which is one of the leading causes of poor putting for club golfers.
There is no real reason behind the way we hold the putter the way we do. If the original intention was to reduce the available mobility in the hands and arms to create consistency in the putter head movement, then we were holding it all wrong to begin with. No one is sure if it was the holding system that encouraged the early development of putter grips with the flat top for the thumbs or it was the putter grip that encouraged golfers to hold the club the way we do at present but turning both palms up to hold the putter would be way more effective for reducing the available mobility in the hands and arms.
These grips have only been available for a few months and currently only in specialized putting studios and a few high end golf courses, however club golfers have been having tremendous success using these grips. Keep an eye out for our product launch day on the putting green and be one of the first golfers in Western Australia to benefit from this putter grip that is both a training aid and legal putting grip in one.
