I have been playing the Wishbone Grip on my putter for a few rounds and it's time for a review.
If you have not seen the Wishbone Grip, it is here: Putt Better: The Wishbone Putter Grip
As some of you may or may not know, my putting has been atrocious (for me) for the past year or so. I have tried most everything. I could put up a review for my sidesaddle putter, but I didn't give it enough time.
Anyway, the Wishbone Grip is the real deal. It is a bit pricey, around $25 delivered, but it has literally saved my summer. It allows you to keep your hands together, opposing as in prayer, and this allows you to make a pure pendulum stroke.
Because of the Wishbone, my mindset going into each round is all about holeing birdie putts. I am looking forward to it. My "go range" is just about anywhere now. I am expecting to make everything inside 10 feet and am quite miffed on the occasion that I miss. This wasn't the case even two weeks ago.
The grip was designed to get rid of the yips. You put all of your tension that makes your wrists break down into your larger muscles, your pectorals. As long as you keep your wrists firm, they won't break down.
It is also easier to line up the putts because your hands are at the same height. That squares your shoulders to your line. When your right hand is low, your shoulders open. If you putt left hand low, your shoulders are closed to the line. In each case, you need to make some sort of correction to allow for this.
With the Wishbone, you just set up square. Straight back, straight through.
The only con on this putter grip, besides the price, is the enormity of it. It really is enormous. It takes a little getting used to. Right around 3 putts. After all 3 of those fall, you are quite used to it.
I absolutely love it. More importantly, my friends HATE it because I don't miss putts anymore. This costs them money.
If you don't mind being a little unconventional, and you love to make putts, and money, give the Wishbone a try.
