A Putter Grip Buyers Guide

Recently Winn Grips introduced their new Pro X putter models and it reminded me of how quickly the size and shape of putter grips have evolved in such a short period of time.  After all, Winn revolutionized grips approximately 25 years ago with the first golf grips made of a soft polyurethane (PU) material wrapped around a rubber underlisting.  These synthetic putter grips felt so good, and their jumbo model was so much softer and lighter than rubber putter grips of similar size.

In the past 10 years, the choice of putter grips used by golfers have changed dramatically.  Modern putter grips are larger, softer, colorful, and less tapered than grips previously made.  Let's explore what each of these benefits are.

Take the guessing game out of creating the best golf clubs for your game.
