New Product Launch
Carter Golf Inc.  |  Booth: 3789

A New Putter Grip that Neutralizes the Wrists and Fingers, Squares the Shoulders, and Cures the Yips

The Wishbone Grip™ is a new paradigm for putting. It works well with the hands in any position. Yet by design the palms are pressed laterally toward one another with the thumbs side–by–side on the front of the grip. With this patented method, the Wishbone Grip™ separates the hands and neutralizes the wrists and fingers. This method naturally aligns the shoulders along the aim line and forces a smooth stroke from the large muscles of the chest and torso.
