Should You Use The Claw Grip? 🤔🏌️‍♂️ Here’s why you should and shouldn’t use the claw! Using the claw grip, your lead hand grips the putter just like normal.  The difference comes with the trail hand.  Instead of wrapping it around, you turn it underneath in a claw shape — thumb on the side, fingers pinching the grip Then you rock your shoulders, letting the lead hand control the stroke while the claw simply stabilises it. The big benefits? First, it takes the wrists out of the stroke.  With the claw, your trail hand isn’t dominating, so there’s far less chance of flipping the putter at impact.  That keeps your stroke controlled, even under pressure. It also brings face stability. On those nervy three-footers, the claw helps keep the putter square through impact, giving you a much better chance of holing out. And finally, it’s a proven cure for the yips. If you get shaky hands on short putts, the claw takes that twitch out of the equation.  That’s why players like Justin Rose, Sergio García, and Tommy Fleetwood have trusted it at the very highest level. But it’s not perfect. It feels awkward at first and takes time before it becomes natural.  Distance control on longer putts can also be harder, because you lose some of the natural feel from your trail hand.  And the truth is, it won’t suit everyone - for some golfers, the traditional grip will always feel more comfortable. Let us know what you think of the claw grip!
