<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Reduced Grip Pressure
Large putter grips can be placed on any putter if the golfer chooses to do so. Due to the greater width of the grip, it forces the golfer to reduce the grip pressure. A relaxed grip helps the golfer keep the putter head square throughout the stroke by preventing wrist breakdown. This will help you add accuracy to your putts.
On the Other: Less Feel of the Putter
A large putter grip will make it difficult to feel the weight of the putter. As a result, you may have trouble telling how hard you need to hit the ball. This creates a problem with distance putting. Speed is considered the most important part of putting, and a larger grip may cause you to over-hit your target.
Bottom Line
Although a larger grip tends to increase accuracy in putts, putting correct speed of the ball is often considered to be the most important aspect to consistently making putts. Unless you have a problem with using your wrists too much, a standard grip is usually recommended.
