Use a reverse overlap grip to quiet the hands putting

To take the hands out of the putting stroke, switch from a full-swing overlap grip to a reverse overlap: put every finger of the right hand on the grip, then lay the left forefinger over the top. This lengthens the lead thumb and adds structure, making it hard for the hands to do too much.

Try it

  1. every finger of the right hand's on the grip
  2. and your left finger then goes over the top

Why this context matters

Offered to reduce a two-way miss caused by the hands starting the stroke.
