Not every putter grip is created equal, and the new Reverse Taper models from Golf Pride have received rave reviews (literally) since they were released in the spring.
GOLF’s Fully Equipped podcast crew Wadeh Maroun and Kris McCormack recently put them to the test and were equally impressed.
What makes these grips different from the rest is in the name — the thicker part of the grip is at the bottom, which Golf Pride says reduces hand tension and improves stability.
There are three Reverse Taper models: the Flat, Pistol and Round.
As McCormack explains in the video above, the Round is the more traditional model, the Pistol grip has more of a defined edge and helps lock in the top hand, while the Flat grip would typically work better for players who like to keep their palms facing each other, ideal for “somebody that drives that stroke with more of a pull with that lead hand.”
“Within the putter-grip category, we observed a trend in which manufacturers were actively trying to design products that removed the hands from the putting stroke, whereas our research indicates that by optimizing the connection between the hands and grip, players can improve their performance,” said James Ledford, president of Golf Pride, when the grips were unveiled in March. “Through hundreds of concept iterations, our innovation team created Reverse Taper, which has tested quite positively with players of all skill levels.”
The grips come in medium and large sizes and retail for $29.99. Click below to learn more, and click here to listen to the latest episode of GOLF’s Fully Equipped podcast.
