What is a typical advantage of the left-hand low putting grip?

• A. The left wrist is less likely to collapse on the forward stroke
• B. It reduces grip pressure on the right hand
• C. It provides greater leverage
• D. It increases wrist hinge

Answer: (A)

Left-hand low on the grip helps keep the wrists quiet and the lead wrist flatter during the stroke. With the left hand lower, the left wrist is less prone to bending or collapsing as you move the putter, so the face stays square and the stroke stays more stable. It’s about controlling wrist action to produce a smoother, more consistent roll rather than generating leverage or increasing hinge. While grip tension can feel easier in the right hand, the main advantage is the reduced tendency for the left wrist to collapse, which is why that option is the best choice.
