We round out the best putter grips on the market to help you find the right fit for your game
Best Putter Grips
The putter grip is the only point of contact between you and your flatstick so it’s important you get it right.
There are a number of different styles available, from thin pistol styles to straighter and thicker models.
A pistol style grip is where it’s thicker at the top, which means that your grip pressure is slightly different in either hand – they’re great for feel putters and players with arced strokes.
A thicker, straighter grip will be better for people who like to take the wrists out of it and prefer a straight back and through stroke.

Best Putter Grips
Superstroke Traxion Tour 2.0 Putter Grip
Superstroke really pioneered the straight putter grip where the sizing is exactly the same throughout, as oppose to a traditional tapered pistol grip. A straight grip allows you to exert equal pressure in both hands through the grip to promote a smooth stroke. The Traxion range from Superstroke comes in various different sizing options and they feature Traxion Control enhanced feedback zones with a tacky polyurethane outer layer for comfortable feel and enhanced feedback. Also in the Traxion range is the Claw, the Flatso and the Pistol.

The angled back shape allows for comfortable finger positioning. Finally, the Pro Only Green Star model is an Oval shape with an arched paddle front for thumb placement.

Golf Pride Tour SNSR Contour Putting Grip
Another hugely popular Golf Pride putter grip is the SNSR Countour. The SNSR range features an extremely soft feel to help with distance control and consistency on the greens. The Contour is an evolution of the classic tapered pistol grip, which allows the upper hand to be locked in for a more consistent hand placement. It gets its name from the proprietary soft-tuned SNSR rubber, which promotes a lighter grip pressure and adds feel and feedback during the stroke. The SNSR range also features a Straight model and a Contour Pro version as well. All three models are slightly different to each other and come in two different sizes.

Superstroke Traxion Flatso 3.0 Putter Grip
This is the grip used by Jordan Spieth. The Flatso 3.0 from Superstroke comes with a funique pentagonal profile. The patented shape is said to allow for increased repeatability and consistency due to its wider flat-front and multiple edges. It’s flat the whole way down to ensure your hands are applying equal grip pressure, and Spyne technology helps you keep them in the same place every time you hit a putt.

SuperStroke Traxion WristLock Golf Putter Grip
The WristLock grip from Superstroke has been designed to help golfers who use the arm-lock putting method with a longer shaft that runs along the arm, in the style of a Bryson DeChambeau or Matt Kuchar. It has been engineered with a thicker top section on one side to ‘lock’ itself in against your arm. We were big fans of this but be wary that you may need to adjust the loft on your putter as you’ll find yourself leaning the shaft slightly forward at impact and during the stroke. It comes in three different colours.
