Features of the 2
Thumb Putter Grip:
-
Allows
arms to hang down naturally and comfortably with thumbs side by side
in front of you on the putter grip.
-
Promotes natural swing of the shoulders and arms as one unit.
-
Increased roll and accuracy of the direction of the golf ball after
impact.
-
Allows
use of a shorter putter since the thumbs are side by side on the 2Thumb Putter Grip.
-
A
wider grip that retains the normal depth and length and can be
fitted in the standard way.
-
All
three 2 Thumb Putter Grips conform to the USGA and
R&A Rules of Golf and are therefore legal for
competition play.

How to use the 2Thumb putter grip:
-
The
2Thumb Putter Grip is designed to sit in the palm of your hands,
and lodges underneath the soft pad of your thumb (along the
lifeline), and not across the base of the fingers. This position
will dramatically change the lie of the putter, allowing the
putter's sole to sit flat on the ground rather than toe up
-
Place
the right hand on the
2Thumb Putter Grip in a conventional way with the thumb
placed on top to the right of centre, and the fingers wrapped
underneath as normal. Now place the left thumb on top, beside the
right thumb and overlap or interlock your fingers underneath,
whichever feels more comfortable.
-
When
you set up to the golf ball, you will see that the shoulders are
naturally square with your hips and feet. In the putting stroke you
will feel that all of the top half of your body-shoulders, arms and
hands-can now move in more of an easy motion and that there is
little or no arc.
-
The simplest and most accurate putting will come
from a straight back and straight through stroke.

 Keen
observers of the recent British Open from Carnoustie and the World Golf
Championship held at the Firestone Country Club will have noticed the growing
popularity of the 2 Thumb Putter Grip series which are making a
significant impact on the European tour and beyond.
Leading tour players such as Colin Montgomerie, Miguel Angel Jimenez and
Stuart Appleby have joined the growing ranks of tour professionals adopting
the 2 Thumb Putter Grip in tournament play.
 International
PGA Professional Miguel Angel Jimenez took the 2 Thumb Putter Grip for
the first time into play at the PGA BMW Championship at Wentworth, finishing
equal fifth at -6 on a very wet and windy course. Philip Gazeley has been
working closely with Miguel for the last two years on his putting building
Miguel's consistency, producing several top ten finishes already this season. |

Designed and manufactured in an exciting new lightweight
compound the 2 Thumb Light Putter Grip, which has taken a year of
research and development by Eaton Golf Pride's technicians. Exclusively

2 Thumb "Shorty" Putter Grip
Many respected PGA Tour players have recently tested the new
2 Thumb Shorty Putter Grip and have given this the thumbs
up. With the advent of the shorter putter, this grip falls perfectly
into place for the player who likes to have control over his putter
while using the 2 Thumb hold and pendulum action.
"With a standard putter
grip, one hand above the other, your shoulders tilt rather than stay
level, this sets you open to the target line and you have to adjust your
alignment to stay square to the hole.
I wanted to find an easy way to
get your shoulders square at address. So I started experimenting with
gripping my putter in different ways. I discovered that if I had my
hands level with each other everything stayed square. I knew I'd hit on
something, so I designed the wider 2Thumb Putter Grip to allow both hands to
sit comfortably side by side.

"With only
one hour of practice with the 2Thumb Putter Grip I managed to win a local ladies
"fun" putting competition, so maybe I haven't got it all wrong - and
congratulations to you.
Best wishes and expectations."

"I have been
on vacation a couple of days but on my return earlier this week the
putter grips arrived in the mail! Thanks for that! I have put them on my putter
and the feeling is very good. Of course it makes the putter a little bit
heavier, but that promotes a smoother putting stroke.
Yesterday I shot a 4 over
in our evening golf club competition, holding a couple of long ones. I still
need to get used to it a little bit, but I like the start. You do get
some weird looks, but once they have tried it doesn't look so weird
anymore. Hopefully I will be back with you for some more putter grips to
order."

"I have had
the 2Thumb Putter Grip fitted (by an astonished pro) and I'm absolutely delighted with
it. My putts have been much more on line and it has really helped my
confidence on the green.
Thanks too for the helpful putting tips that
you also provided (particularly that one about keeping your knees
still). I wish you all the best.... l will certainly recommend you very
highly."

"I bought the
2Thumb Putter Grip at the London Golf show. I put the grip on my putter on
Saturday evening and used it on Sunday. I have never rolled the ball so
well and hit the sweet spot of the putter so often. I rolled the ball so
consistently that every putt took the natural line on the putting green,
sometimes taking borrows that I didn't even knew existed, even though
I've putted on these greens for over 20 years!
I'm confident that the 2 Thumb Putter Grip
will really help me reduce my putts per round from my current 34-35 down
to 29-30 which will have a significant impact on my handicap."
Thanks.

"I installed
the 2 Thumb Putter Grip on a Ping Answer putter. Messed around with the putter on the
rug and 20- 30 minute practice sessions on putting green. Using a grip
with both thumbs side by side just above the white cross line, 3 fingers
of right hand over and in between spacing of left hand, index fingers
both down the sides. ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! This is from age 63
golfer with a USGA competitive past who lost all putting expertise, if
there ever was any, over 25 years ago, who has averaged 33-38 putts per
round for years. 26 PUTTS YESTERDAY, 3 BIRDIES, AND 7 1 PUTT PAR SAVES,
NO 3 PUTTS. Due to putting I gave up on competitive golf but now I feel
like honing my golf game for more competition.
THANKS FOR MAKING A GREAT PRODUCT! "

"I thought I
would drop you a line to let you know the reaction my new 2 Thumb
Putter Grip has
received up here in Scotland. First reactions have nearly always
been '...look at the size of that grip--- can I have a go?
Most people then say '...too awkward , I can't use it...' I then give
them a short demonstration of how the golf ball rolls truly and they want
another go. I have had members actively seeking me out because they have
heard about my putter grip.
The thing which is giving extra credence to me using the two thumb grip is because
I won our big open competition two weeks ago--only thing is I did not
have the new grip fitted at that time. I received your grip on the
Friday before the open and thought that it did not give me enough time
to practice before the big competition.
When I tell people that I changed grips after the open, they think I am
mad.
Since then I have shot a 69 and a 70 and my handicap is now down to 10.9
It is absolutely fantastic and I think it is going to be the next big
thing in golf--I have passed your website details on to at least 10
people so far and I am certain you will get more orders."
Cheers,

"My very good
friend introduced me to your two thumb putter grip today - I've never seen or felt
anything like it.
I am going to Q-School this year, and would like to get 5 of these 2
Thumb Putter Grips
on my various putters as quickly as possible. I won 13 tournaments last
year, have won over 10 this year, and think I could win even more with
putter grips like these on my putters."

"I do not
know if your 2 Thumb Putter Grip has had any professional victories yet, but I was
able to win a chapter event here in Michigan using your two thumb grip. I just
wanted to let you know and thank you for your innovation."
