Have you ever considered using a conventional putting grip for putts longer than 10-15 feet or so to get a bit more solid contact? Once you’ve played claw for a while, face contact using a conventional grip just feels so much more solid off the sweet spot. Then keep the claw for shorter range to fight the slice putt path.

Mike88GT: Very true but as you may remember, when he was using the Kirkland clubs, he was too busy finding reasons to not give them a good rating. For example, knocking the driver for not having the shaft he normally uses even though he hit it well. Also, downgrading the driver because Kirkland does not have a matching 3 & 5 woods. Also, after shooting 7 over with his fitted clubs, I wonder what grade he gave them?
