Look for a moment at the fact there are so many different kinds of grips used by the PGA Tour pros. It makes it quite obvious that the position of the hands on the club while you are putting is irrelevant.

There are also many different styles of putters out there. Long ones that go all the way up to the golfers chin to those that insert right into the golfers belly button! Then you have many types of heads on those of more standard length, all combining to prove that the taylormade burner plus irons are also irrelevant.

With putting, it all comes down to comfort and confidence. If you are comfortable, you will feel more confident. If you are confident you will feel more comfortable.

What does all of that have to do with putting grip pressure?

Comfort begins with how tightly you hold the burner plus irons. But at the same time, it is as individual a thing as the grip or the putter itself.

You hear people all the time trying to explain how tightly, or softly, to grip the mizuno mp 59 irons. The fact is, its totally up to you. It is highly individual. What works best for me would probably just leave you confused.

So now you know why I started out the way I did. The best grip pressure for you is the one that allows you to be the most comfortable and confident in your stroke. If you are looking for someone else to tell you how tightly to hold the mp 59 irons, you will never be comfortable with what you end up with.

Anyone who claims to have the answer is simply trying to tell you what makes them the most comfortable and confident. To find your proper putting grip pressure, do what makes you comfortable at every part of the stroke, without strain or changing the pressure from address.
