Putting Grip - in the palms or fingers?
meaning there's no big face rotation wanted & also the hold of the handle is not about creating speed as in the hand hold through the rest of the big is all about being able to create speed with hand and wrist mobility
biggest issue in how the putter handle 'lies' in the hands with the rest of the bag driver through wedge the handle lies at near 90º to the hand - with the putter the handle lies much more in the direction of the arm hang so vertical as been mentioned above along the lifeline of the lead hand
lead arm hanging down naturally from shoulder if hand is open the fingers point vertically at the ground - if the handle is just introduced to the lead hand in that position it will run more vertically down the length of the palm with the fingers pointing the same ways
lead thumb pad then sits on top of the handle if then the fingers close will find although it runs down the length of the palm the fingers are still very much in contact with the handle so it's not a case of palm & no fingers - in fact this was means the it's the top half of the fingers to the tips that are in contact with the handle the area of the fingers that have more delicate 'feel' receptors
trail hand also joins with the finger pointing to the ground if lead hand is top hand then the trail thumb sits atop the lead thumb so both thumbs on top of the handle pointing straight down the shaft the trail hand fingers just close around either with overlap or not
one of the biggest issues often times see with how folks have the putter handle in the hands is it is lying to much across the palms (so more like a 'normal' hand orientation is with the rest of the clubs in the bag) doing that with the handle more 'across' and high in the palms means that the feel area near the top half to the tips are not really being involved any
but as with any change of grip and particularly with the flat stick as this is pretty much completely different to how all the other clubs are held it's goin to feel a good ways 'uncomfortable' and 'unusual' - if changing best ways is to keep the putter in the house and keep putting the hands on the putter to build the grip hold so it becomes familiar
