Have you ever heard of the immensely popular golf phrase, “You drive for show, but you putt for dough”? That’s because over 40% of your strokes during a round are with the putter! Sadly, lots of golfers never seem to get around to practicing their putting and this costs them dearly on their scorecards.

One of my favorite golfers is Rickie Fowler because of his dynamic putting ability and his positive attitude. I remember watching a PGA Tour tournament on TV and noticing that Fowler was putting with his left hand lower than his right hand (cross-handed). When one of the announcers asked him about it, Fowler mentioned that the cross-handed grip helped him regain his feel when he was in the midst of a slump on the putting green. If you play golf, you’ve probably heard of a crossed-hands putting method or grip. But does this method work? We explore the effectiveness of…
