Got the link 2.1 a month ago, absolutely love the putter, struggling finding the grip that I can keep. The standard lamkin has been my favorite so far, put a superstroke pistol 1.0 on it and went in the wrong direction with feel. Any recommendations for a skinnier grip that people like from lab that would be similar in weight?
My Link 2.1 headcover absolutely infuriates me, love the Putter though. The magnets in the headcover seem to Move freely in the headcover, causing it to not being able to close and sitting extremely loose ok the club. You can kind of squeeze them into the proper position with extreme fiddling, but this only lasts for minutes.
I saw that they sell a Link headcover with velcro, unfortunately I am located in the EU (Germany), is anybody aware of a european reseller or even better of a solution for the headcover magnets?
Just arrived this morning after around 3 weeks delay. A bold color choice for me (a man), but I trusted my stock DF3 so much that I wanted a flashy look on this one.
The feeling is slightly more « dry » than the DF3 (no insert), the face feels smaller, but I agree with other owners that the alignment impression is really strong with the VZNi
Which shaft/head combo would give the firmest possible feel?
I watched the video of Sam and Coach Choi Jong-Hwan and testing right hand left hand grip on the club, so I spent some time testing out various left and right-hand grip variations to see which suited me best.
I noticed immediately how great the centre hits are when I switch from my standard reverse overlap grip to a claw. Every other grip I tried just didn't hit the centre like the claw did and the feel and sound was a thud instead of the soft bouncy feel I get when hitting dead centre.
While I didn’t mind the claw for within 10ft, I really struggled with distance control and lag putting using it.
So I continued testing and found that using my standard overlap grip but with an extremely weak right hand gave me the same centre strikes but let me keep my natural speed control. Im guessing both grips are taking my right hand out of the swing and stopping it from closing too much?
Has anyone else gone through the same experience? Did you notice an immediate jump in centre strikes when switching to a claw or weakening your trail hand and did you end up keeping the grip change, or did you figure out a way to make your original grip work?
Just curious as to whether my new found grip should stay or whether i should ‘figure’ out how to get my old grip to work.
I had a 46” broomstick mezz at one point with the stock accra shaft and it was WAY too soft and whippy - to the feeling where i could feel the shaft moving in my stroke towards the tip. Didn’t particularly like that feel. I tried a few CB putters in store with the accra and it felt okay, but still decently soft.
Looking at getting a vzn1 CB 38” and cant decide between the gears, diamana, and TPT - i wonder if the diamana will be too soft given its not a “long” shaft and will play at a much longer length than it is intended? Unfortunately seems the black gears shaft is OOS and found a white shaft to be really distracting in the stroke, so I guess its between the diamana and the TPT.
What are everyone's thoughts between the two main grip offerings? I have a pistol on my DF3i. I seem to struggle with short putts, pushing them right or opening my face at impact. Maybe it's a decelerating thing and the grip isn't the issue but I wonder if a thicker overall grip like the Press II may help me be more stable on those putts.
