Today from the Forums: “Phil Kenyon working with Super Stroke on ‘new’ grip”

Published

on

Today from the Forums showcases top putting instructor Phil Kenyon working with Super Stroke at this week’s Genesis Invitational and speculates upon a new grip in the works.

Kenyon, who has worked with the likes of Francesco Molinari, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Henrik Stenson and Rory McIlroy amongst others, can be seen showcasing a distinct forward press in our photos from this week’s event – a move which has got our members suggesting that Super Stroke may be looking to bring a wrist lock putter grip to the market soon.

Check out the full thread here.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • Willian70: “Pure guess here, but it looks like an alternative to arm lock Maybe wrist locking. Keep standard putter, but with the grip, you can lock the grip into the wrist. Looks fun and different. I’d try one for sure.”
  • osubuckeyes61: “I’d buy this immediately. Please come to retail.”
  • TomBomb51: “Ever since Spieth came up, I loved his forward press move to ‘wrist lock’ and have been doing this ever since. This is just commercializing it, it seems.”

    slow down people…..understand you’ll need to bend the sh*t outa your putter to accommodate the “arm lock” method. I can see it now…..bunch a wing-nuts going out and putting these on their putter….”this isn’t working”…

      I think that is the point of the design… they’ve taken the pistol grip design, oversized it, turned it on its side and used the pistol to interlock without having to alter the putter loft. Seems to be a good concept if within the rules.

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Published

on

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.

Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.
