The Wishbone The Wishbone Gripâ„¢ is much more than just an oversize putter grip, it is the next stage in putting evolution. It is designed to be used with the palms pressed laterally toward one another with the thumbs side-by-side on the front of the grip. Used in this way, the Wishbone Gripâ„¢ separates the hands and neutralizes the wrists and fingers. It naturally aligns the shoulders along the aim line and forces a stroke from the large muscles of the chest and torso, ensuring a simple and consistent motion. While the Wishbone Gripâ„¢ has been shown to cure the yips,” it helps not only yippers, but anyone with poor technique become a better putter.
Both the Wishbone Gripâ„¢ and method are patented (Patent #6,786,835) and the grip conforms to the USGA rules of golf.
