Hi Golfbald,

As there is a virus affecting the net, at present, I have no idea what will happen to this message.

I posted a previous reply, which just seemed to disappear into the ether.

As always, you offer logical and practical solutions to the challenges which we all encounter, from time to time, in seeking to improve our game. None, more so than the short game.

I think that all the very good players and, top teachers are unanimous in their opinion that the short game represents 50% of the total shots in a round,. At present, I'm using three different types of grip (including putter). This may sound rather bizarre to some but, it seems to work for me.

If it works, for you, on a consistent basis, then use it. Perhaps, one day, we will have total unanimity on how all golf shots should be played.

best regards,

Alan
