Swing weight question | Golf Monthly

As a HUGE putter whore, I think I can speak with some authority here.....perhaps. Not too sure about swing weights but I once had a mid slim SuperStroke 2.0 and it quickly came off. Whilst it helped on short putts, like you I strugged from distance and felt I had no distance or control. Rather than the weight (I know SuperStrokes are light) being the main issue, just the general thickness affecting my feel of the putter head. The bigger the grip, even if lighter, always makes the club head feel lighter for me, but that is probably just my perception.
Like my affection for putters, I'm also keen on getting the right grip that suits. I took the stock option off my Odyssey (which was on fire this weekend!) and installed an Odyssey White Hot Pro grip. Looks great, but more importantly it feels spot on and is the perfect size. Bigger than a Scotty Pistolero, but certainly no where near a Superstroke. I'd urge you to try one out, although could understand some hesitancy in putting it on different brand putter. I'm a bit OCD like that.
What grip is it you're looking to put on Gareth?
