Denny McCarthy is a professional golfer who competes on the PGA Tour. McCarthy is known for using a non-traditional putting grip called the “saw grip” or “claw grip.”
The saw grip is a variation of the traditional grip that is primarily used for putting. In this grip, the golfer rests the grip of the putter against the palm of the lead hand (left hand for a right-handed golfer) and extends the fingers straight down the shaft. The trailing hand (right hand for a right-handed golfer) is placed on the grip with the fingers more wrapped around the grip, similar to a claw shape.
The saw grip, or claw grip, is believed to help stabilize the putter and minimize wrist action during the stroke. It can be particularly useful for golfers who struggle with consistency in their putting or have difficulty with the traditional grip.
It's important to note that grip preferences can vary among golfers, and some players may experiment with different grips throughout their careers.
