Several golfers constantly switch putters, experiment with various balls, explore new practice techniques, but still, they have trouble consistently making their performance on greens. The problem is in most instances not the equipment but the grip in which the putter is held. The left hand low putting grip has become one of the techniques that have become popular among both the professional golfers and amateur golfers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This style of putting puts the right hand under the left right hand down the grip on the right-hand side of the golf club. Though it might seem a strange thing to use, most players find that it enables them to make a smoother motion and control. This technique has been used by some of our industry giants who believe that it fosters stability and minimizes undesirable hand action in the putting stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Why_Golfers_Are_Moving_Toward_the_Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip\" >Why Golfers Are Moving Toward the Left Hand Low Putting Grip?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Key_Benefits_of_the_Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip\" >Key Benefits of the Left Hand Low Putting Grip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#How_to_Set_Up_the_Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip_Correctly\" >How to Set Up the Left Hand Low Putting Grip Correctly?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Ball_Position_Guidelines_for_Better_Results\" >Ball Position Guidelines for Better Results<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Common_Putting_Problems_This_Grip_Can_Help_Fix\" >Common Putting Problems This Grip Can Help Fix<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Practice_Drills_to_Master_the_Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip\" >Practice Drills to Master the Left Hand Low Putting Grip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Mistakes_Golfers_Make_When_Switching_to_This_Grip\" >Mistakes Golfers Make When Switching to This Grip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip_vs_Conventional_Putting_Grip\" >Left Hand Low Putting Grip vs Conventional Putting Grip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Is_the_Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip_Right_for_You\" >Is the Left Hand Low Putting Grip Right for You?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/left-hand-low-putting-grip\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Golfers_Are_Moving_Toward_the_Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip\"><\/span><b>Why Golfers Are Moving Toward the Left Hand Low Putting Grip?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is many golfers fail due to the overtake in the dominant hand during the stroke.

Even the slightest error in address can influence the whole movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial goal is to attain a comfortable space where the shoulders and arms can be able to cooperate. Being able to build a relaxed stance is preferable to locking on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1: Place the Right Hand on the Grip<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin by putting your right hand towards the top of the putter grip. Do not squeeze the club; hold it loosely. The loose grip enables the feel to be maintained and ensures that the putter swings in its natural manner. The overuse of grip causes a lot of tension in the forearms and shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: Position the Left Hand Below the Right<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The left hand now to the right. The hands ought to be as a single unit. A number of golfers find a minimal overlap of fingers desired as it will provide more connectivity between two hands. Still others decide on a double overlap, as being more stable. The aim is to seek a stance that is safe without causing any strain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: Align the Hands and Forearms<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when both hands are gripped, ensure that the forearms look like they are attached together and even and balanced. The wrists must not make a sound during the stroke. When they are too active they should increase the level of grip force until they are comfortable with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4: Check Shoulder Position<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the most valuable benefits of the left hand low putting grip is that it helps to stabilize the shoulders. Make sure that your shoulders look square with the target line by standing before a mirror or taking a snapshot using your smartphone camera. Level shoulders make the putter move right towards the target.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 5: Finalize Your Posture<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bend forward slightly at the hips and leave arms to rest. Either stand up too straight or too stooped over the ball. A balanced position will assist in supporting rhythm and control during the stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ball_Position_Guidelines_for_Better_Results\"><\/span><b>Ball Position Guidelines for Better Results<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The finest putting grip may not be effective when the ball is positioned not in the right place. In this technique, majority of golfers perform their best when the ball is slightly in front of the center in the position. This stance enables the putter to hit the ball cleanly and still keep it rolling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The table below is a crude reference.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Ball Position<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Result<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too Far Back<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased chance of pushing putts<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Center<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neutral roll for some players<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slightly Forward of Center<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred position for most golfers<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too Far Forward<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can lead to inconsistent contact<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test, during practice, to learn where you can get the best stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Putting_Problems_This_Grip_Can_Help_Fix\"><\/span><b>Common Putting Problems This Grip Can Help Fix<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A new grip is taken by many golfers with a view to getting rid of certain putting mistakes. Left hand low putting grip tends to solve many problems faced by players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Pulled Putts<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a strong right hand, golfers often tend to draw away towards the left sides of the goal. Since this grip lessens the over-hand action, most players play starting lines straight across.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Flipping Through Impact<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain golfers have the putter being thrust out. The method will encourage a more consistent movement and minimize unnecessary inversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Poor Shoulder Alignment<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the common causes of inconsistent putting is open shoulders. The grip automatically straightens the shoulders, and therefore alignment can be enhanced as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Short-Putt Anxiety<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of golfers lack confidence at short putts. This is an added stability that frequently causes shorter putts to seem easier and more manageable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice_Drills_to_Master_the_Left_Hand_Low_Putting_Grip\"><\/span><b>Practice Drills to Master the Left Hand Low Putting Grip<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing grips is time-consuming. Though immediate improvement can be achieved by some golfers, most do not get the technique that natural before several sessions of practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following exercises can make the learning process faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Distance Control Drill<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan tees on varying lengths of distances. Balls to each target are 3 and the aim is to pay attention to speed but not direction. This will condition feel and touch with the new grip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Gate Drill<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a small gate with two tees that are slightly broader than putter head. Stroke passes through the gate leaving neither tee touched. This exercise enhances face control and path of strokes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. One-Hand Stability Drill<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a number of short putts with the left hand only. In this exercise, the lead shoulder learns to control the stroke instead of the hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Circle Putting Drill<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roll half a dozen balls round the hole. Begin with three feet and strive to complete all putting in a row.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This practice instills confidence and enhances performance under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mistakes_Golfers_Make_When_Switching_to_This_Grip\"><\/span><b>Mistakes Golfers Make When Switching to This Grip<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is that many golfers give up too soon due to their high expectations of the grip.
