Now Arm-Lock Golf is taking on the main-stream putter grip companies with new models designed to help all golfers putt better.Ĭhoices include five models covering arm-lock, counterbalanced and traditional putter grips. The company progressed to a counterbalanced grip model and then to a modification to the originals with flat fronts and slightly smaller size. The first conforming putter grips were available in June.
The original converter grip was chosen as the sixth best new product out of over 200 at the Orlando PGA Merchandise show in January.
