Find Your Lifeline: How to Hold Your Putter

Take it to practice.

For a right-handed golfer using a conventional grip: • Find the crease curving around the base of your left thumb. • Seat the grip's front-left edge against that reference. • Close your fingers with secure, comfortable pressure. • Set up and make a smooth stroke with the same settled connection.

This is one lead-hand placement cue, drawing on Stan Utley's instruction. It can help you find the same hold without squeezing hard; it does not physically lock your wrist or replace a complete grip lesson. Adapt it with a qualified coach if the fit feels uncomfortable.
