You've probably never seen anything like the MACRO® Grip. MACRO's patented grip design, set-up and unique putting system consistently prevents wrist breakdown and assures a long, flat, on-line approach of the putter head to and through the ball.

Key design elements that promote these stroke principals while conforming to the USGA's Rules of Golf are:

• Oversized reducing-oval shape grip
• Uniform forward shaft offset
• Grip alignment cross-mark

Re-grip your putter with Macro the same way as you would with any other grip.

All Macro® Grips install easily on standard putter shafts with the usual application of double-sided tape and solvent.
Once Macro is seated on the shaft, and before the adhesive tape begins to dry, adjust Macro until:

1) The greater curvature of the grip is facing forward in the direction of the putt
2) The shorter line of the cross mark on the grip top is parallel to the plane of the putter face

Available in Three Sizes | Exceptional Feel | Anatomical Advantage

The MACRO grip is available in three sizes:

• Large — Standard rubber composite in Black, 16 inches long with Topnotch™, the patented grip-top cross-mark alignment feature, forward shaft offset and reducing-oval diameter of 1.7 inches. Recommended for a split-grip set-up and to combat chronic “ wrist-break” and the “yips”.

• Medium — Standard rubber composite in Black, 14 inches long with Topnotch™, the patented grip-top alignment feature, forward shaft offset and reducing-oval diameter of 1.5 inches. Recommended for conventional, ten fingered (semi-conventional), full-split, and “claw grip” hand placements
  

• Small — Standard rubber composite in Black, 11” long with Topnotch™, the patented grip-top alignment feature, forward shaft offset and reducing-oval diameter of 1.5 inches. Recommended for conventional, ten fingered( semi-conventional), slightly split and full "claw" hand placements.

Feel, the transmission of vibrations from the club face to the hands is an important factor in guiding putts to their target. A club with good "feel"allows the golfer to know when he or she has struck the ball on the sweet spot of the face, whether the face was square at impact, and the strength of the impact.

MACRO® is not a standard oversized grip. The density of the compounds used to build the grip was specifically selected to enhance feel and is not the same as that used in conventional grips. An important balance was achieved between the surface of the grip and its underlying structure. The surface is soft enough to enhance comfort and prevent slippage. On the other hand, the substructure component of the grip is dense enough to transmit exceptional "feel" from the club face to the hands.

MACRO® Golf is focused on the most important anatomical factors that keep putts on line:

• Prevent wrist breakdown to keep the putter face square at impact.
• Relax the muscles of the forearms, wrists and hands to produce a smooth continuous stroke.

The design of the MACRO Putter promotes both of these factors and is based upon long standing knowledge of the anatomy of the wrist and the relation between the position of the hands and the muscles of the forearm. The patented MACRO Putter takes advantage of the anatomical relationships that govern the flexibility of the wrist. When golfers use the MACRO Putter their wrists become less flexible and therefore less prone to "breakdown" during the stroke. In addition the forearm muscles remain relaxed throughout the duration of the stroke maintaining the intended putter head path.

This principle is simple to reproduce. Hold your hand in the position indicated in Diagram 1 and rotate your wrist. Now close your hand into a fist as shown in diagram 2 and perform the same action. When the hand is open the rotational effort significantly more than the range of motion substantially less. Gripping the patented design of the MACRO Putter opens up the palm of the hand and reduces the range and ease of motion of the wrist. Preventing wrist-breakdown removes an important variable from the stroke and keeps the putter face square at impact. The MACRO Putter allows the golfer to make a judgment about the line of the putt with confidence that the putter face will not open or close through impact with the ball.

The relaxation of the muscles in the forearms, wrists and hands, has a direct bearing on the accuracy of a putting stroke. When these muscle groups are relaxed a consistently smooth on-line putting stroke results. On the other hand, tense muscles cause the putting stroke to become choppy, robbing accuracy. In fact, many golfers overcompensate for the slender handle on their traditional putters by increasing grip pressure while tensing the muscles of the hand, wrist and forearm. The patented shape of the MACRO Putter prevents this tendency.

Try the same exercise mentioned above. Instead of checking for wrist flexibility try to
judge the tension of your forearm muscles in both positions. When your hand is open it is almost impossible to tense-up the muscles of your forearm.

Just listen to what this orthopedic surgeon had to say:

I had the privilege of examination of your putter equipped with the new MACRO Grip of your design. The MACRO Grip is without question the most significant improvement of any golf club grip, providing the very best anatomical, ergonomically-designed shape. The putter can be held firmly, yet without strain. The grip conforms well to the shape of the golfer's palms. The MACRO Grip facilitates the synergistic action of strong finger flexors and wrist stabilizing muscles; permits controlled, precise handling of the putter and virtually eliminiates the flexing of the wrist and wrist breakdown, so detrimental to the precision with which the golfer strikes the ball. It helps the golfer to successfully achieve consistent control of the putter head. Accurate putting has never been easier!
