Enda McLoughlin is the founder of P2 Grips and Trident Align, two Irish-built golf brands changing how golfers think about putting performance. He is also a PGA Professional and former head pro at Wicklow Golf Club.
In this episode we cover the origin of P2 Grips, a happy accident with a Scotty Cameron that turned into a proper golf equipment business. Enda breaks down the biomechanics of putting, specifically ulnar deviation and why quietening the wrists leads to better putter face control. P2 is one of the only putter grip brands backed by independent bio-mechanical testing from world-leading putting coach and biomechanics expert Dr Paul Hurrian.
We also get into Trident Align, the USGA-approved adjustable ball marker Enda invented after discovering he had a right aim bias. If you think alignment on the green is the easy part of putting, this conversation will change your mind.
Other topics: the PGA merchandise show debut in Orlando, a P2 grip on Michelle Wie's putter for her 2018 HSBC Women's World Championship win, the challenge of breaking into the tour truck world, and a teaser on an upcoming P2 x Seed Golf collaboration.
Whether you're a golfer looking to hole more putts, a coach interested in performance, or someone fascinated by building products from scratch, there's plenty in this conversation for you.
