The Big Dog is designed for golfers that prefer an oversized grip with less taper. The subtle taper and modified cylindrical shape increases the size of the grip in the bottom hand, encouraging proper release of the putter head. By using the same proprietary PURE Tack rubber compound found in all our other grips, The Big Dog is extremly durable and acutally a little heavier than other grips of its size currently in the market. Weighing in at about 120 grams, The Big Dog puts some weight in your hands and delivers a counter balance effect that increases the stability of the club head throughout the putting stroke.
