The grip keeps the face from moving.
A repeatable grip that removes movement so tempo can stay intact.
Tempo only works if the face stays stable.
In Lesson 1, you installed timing. In Lesson 2, you removed manual control.
But if the face moves… none of that holds.
This is what lets the stroke stay on time.
The grip is the steering lock.
Face angle, wrist movement, and pressure all start here.
If the grip changes, the face changes. If the face changes, the ball starts off line.
Hands quiet. Face square.
You are not trying to control the putter.
You are removing the ability to interfere with it.
Same grip. Every time.
Face first
Always set the face before your hands.
Lead hand
Grip runs through the palm. Thumb down the top.
Trail hand
Supports. Never hits.
Connection
Reverse overlap links both hands.
Pressure
4/10 baseline. Never changing.
Structure
Wrists quiet. No surprises.
This is not about perfect form. It’s about repeatability.
Inconsistency, not mechanics.
Most golfers don’t have a bad grip.
They have a different grip every time.
Build it the same
- Set the face first
- Build your grip from scratch
- Step away and reset completely
- Repeat 10 times
- Then roll 10 putts from 3–6 feet
You are training consistency, not perfection.
The stroke feels quieter.
Better start lines
The ball begins where you expect.
Less hand action
No flipping or steering.
More trust
You stop adjusting at the last second.
