    I'm trying to experiment with left hand low putting, but I'm searching for a grip to stick with.

    Do use a 10 finger grip? Do you overlap with your right index finger down your left hand? Do you interlock your right index finger with your right pinkie finger?

    What do you do?

    I have stuck with what I have always used. Standard overlap. Pinky overlapping index finger, ensuring palms facing each other. Has worked well for years. Play a SC Newport 2 Select Notchback last year in the series, Chrome. SNSR GolfPride 104cc grip. Hold it like a baby bird.
  3. Palms facing each other. My right index finger goes down the shaft and my left pinkie, ring, and middle fingers overlap my right index. Keeps my hands close together and basically locks them in place.

    Use a 10 finger standard palms facing with thumbs on top, trigger finger down the sides.

    I have practiced with left low but have less feel, better line. Std 10 finger, do not extend finger. When I go a stretch without making any putts, I try to go to left low and eventually always go back.

    Use Scotty newport 2.5 with stock matador

    I've gone back to face to face, but with elbows a little squeezed to minimize arm swinging. Left hand low and claw grip are to control the back hand from flipping the head. So whatever is easiest/comfortable to control your right wrist and elbow short of a cast, do it. None will be comfortable at first, so overlap/no overlap is your personal choice, so long as you commit to it until it is comfortable.
  6. I have used left hand low on 43 in GOLO Select. If my putting goes cold, I use a lighter 38 in but always left hand low.

    Use a grip your comfortable with Don. Left hand low will allow the stroke to be more shoulder/piston oriented, as opposed to handsy.The right hand will become quiet, and not allow you to "flip it"at impact.Should find immediate improvement on short putts.

    I think how you grip it is secondary. Keeping the right hand quiet is the key.

    Best of luck.

    I use 10 finger grip and I find left hand low make a more honest turn than my hands moving too fast
