Garsen grips are fast gaining popularity, with 10 wins on the PGA Tour. Major Champion winners, such as Retief Goosen and Henrik Stenson and Geoff Olgilvy are devotees of the Garsen grips. I personally have become a better putter since installing the grips.
The Garsen Golf “Quad Tour Proto” putter grip was designed with direct input from PGA tour players and the top putting coaches on tour and are currently in play by over a dozen PGA tour players.
Garsen has taken the same technology which has led to the success of the EDGE and MAX putter grips. The QUAD grip was designed with a more traditional hand placement, but with the benefits of the original grips which help turn your elbows into your body and sets your shoulders back.
This relieves arm and shoulder tension, inhibits wrist action, which takes “the hands out of the putting” and promotes proper shoulder rotation, creating a solid putting stroke, which will give you a one-piece feel, leading to a more consistent stroke.
They are available in non-tapered $28.95 and full taper $24.95 in a (red/blu) (blu/red) color combination. www.garsengolf.com
