We use our putters more than any other club in the bag, which is why we’re picky about finding the right one. But how much time do you spend thinking about your trusty flat club grip? Finding the proper grip for your putter could be the boost your short games are looking for, and in this article, we’re going to share with you ten of the best putter grips to help you score lower this year.

How’s your putting? Are you still struggling to be accurate on those dreaded lag putts, or are you constantly cursing those little knee shots? From amateurs to professionals, most golfers will tell you their putting could be better. That’s why there are so many different putters on the market, each promising to improve your score.

Sometimes you don’t need a complete overhaul of your equipment. Putting is all about feeling comfortable over the ball, feeling in charge of the ball; nothing is more fundamental than your grip. So before looking for a new putter, we suggest you start by getting the most out of your current club.

Just like putters themselves, the choice of putter grips is abundant. There is no shortage of different brands and styles, each offering unique selling points. The most significant variations are in shape, diameter, and weight. We’ve covered all the bases in our list, giving you a comprehensive range of the best the market offers.
So let’s get started!

1. SUPERSTROKE SLIM 3.0 PUTTER GRIP,  

SuperStroke has been at the forefront of the oversized grip trend that has hit the PGA tour in the last two years. And for a good reason! The Slim 3.0 is USGA approved, and its larger design ensures a perfectly balanced grip, minimizing wrist action in your putt.
The emphasis is on the “no taper” technology built-in here, something we think SuperStroke does better than the rest of the industry. The 3.0 features a 50g CounterCore weight, allowing you to change the feel of your putter easily. We also love the variety of colors available for you to choose from.

Pros

• Diameter. 1.27″ is a happy medium in terms of feel.
• No taper and non-slip technology for total control.
• Design. Available in six different colors.

Cons

• CounterCore weight is not included. Additional purchase required.
• Price. Expensive (especially if you buy CounterCore).

 

2. GOLF PRIDE TOUR SNSR CONTOUR 140CC PUTTER GRIP

According to Golf Pride, three-quarters of tour professionals prefer tapered pistol grip putter grips to the usual straight models. The Tour SNSR Contour is Golf Pride’s answer to that, and it comes in two sizes. This one, the 140cc model, is the larger of the two and is designed with their unique SNSR rubber material. We love the pistol contour at the top of the grip and the comfort it creates when you line up your putts. At 124 grams, this is one of the heaviest grips on our list and something you’ll notice if you choose to use it on your putter.

Pros

• Soft feel. Maximum comfort in the hands.
• Tapered design. Fits perfectly in the palm.
• Wide forehead. For easy thumb placement.

Cons

• Lack of variation in the choice of colors.
• Weight. Heavier than most putter grips.

 

3. SUPERSTROKE ULTRA SLIM 1.0 PUTTER GRIP

The second SuperStroke on this list and a thinner design and lighter feel than other SuperStroke models. SuperStroke considers the ultra-slim a gateway into the world of oversized putter grips – it’s 24% smaller than the 3.0. From a technical standpoint, the grip is only 1″ in diameter and weighs just 65g. So perfect for those looking to upgrade to a larger grip without facing a completely different feel. Made with the same no taper technology as all SuperStrokes.

Pros

• Size. The good oversize grip feels.
• Lightweight. Does not affect the putter feel.
• No taper and non-slip technology for total control.

Cons

• The diameter is not much larger than a regular grip.
• Not as many color options as the Slim 3.0.

 

4. KARMA DUAL TOUCH MEDIUM PUTTER GRIP

The Karma Dual Touch is known for its sticky feel. Karma has created a multi-textured surface that improves your grip in all the right places, and we love the traction it makes on your thumb and palm. The Midsize has a 0.6″ core and weighs 44g, so there shouldn’t be much difference in feel and weight from your standard putter grip. Karma is highly competitive in terms of price and is considerably less expensive than the SuperStroke
and Golf Pride.

Pros

• Grip. Sticky feel for better grip.
• Price. Excellent quality-price ratio.
• Lightweight.

Cons

• Design. Quite basic
• Aesthetics. Only stock colors.
• Feel. Similar to handles without gutters.

 

5. SUPERSTROKE FATSO 5.0 PUTTER GRIP,

True to its title, the third SuperStroke on this list is a true fatso. The Fatso 5.0 is the king of SuperStroke’s oversized putter grips, with some pretty big measurements: A 1.67″ diameter and a whopping 90g weight. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking for a genuinely oversized feel when they pick up their flat stick. The 5.0’s girth will be a perfect counterbalance for anyone who struggles with too much tension in their golf grip.

Pros

• Size. Truly has an “oversized” feel.
• No taper and non-slip technology for total control.
• A wide variety of colors is available.

Cons

• Expensive
• Accessibility. May have trouble fitting in some golf bags.

6. CALLAWAY JUMBO LIGHT PUTTER GRIP

How could we talk about putters without introducing something from Odyssey? The first of Callaway’s lineup to make our list, the Jumbo Light has a semi-pistol shape and is the only grip in the Odyssey lineup to fall into the “oversized” category.

It weighs 60g and has a 0.6″ core, so it’s not as thick as some of the more oversized grips on our list. We consider it a happy medium between the standard and big grip. Aesthetically, there’s not much in the game that’s as iconic as the Odyssey. You’ll be strutting the greens with this grip on your putter. That alone could lower your score by a few strokes!

Pros

• Semi-pistol shape for an easy grip.
• Classic Odyssey design.
• Lightweight.

Cons

• Expensive.
• Installation. Semi-gun shape causes problems.

 

7. CHAMPKEY MTD MIDSIZE GOLF PUTTER GRIP

The Champkey differs from most of our other choices with its unique polyurethane outer shell. Champkey claims that its design increases shock absorption by up to 65% over traditional rubber covers, resulting in a smoother putting stroke.

That said, the MTD Midsize does feel a little different when you line up your putts, and it may take some getting used to. But don’t let that deter you. The highly soft micro-textured design delivers the sticky feel Champkey promises.

Pros

• Durable. Excellent in all weather conditions.
• Price. Low cost.
• Design. Available in a wide range of colors.

Cons

• Feeling. The polyurethane shell may take some getting used to.
• Aesthetics. Relatively bland design.

 

8. SUPERSTROKE PISTOL GTR TOUR PUTTER GRIP

The Pistol GTR is one of SuperStroke’s new designs and features the classic pistol shape that the pros love. A polyurethane cover differentiates the Pistol GTR from much of the SuperStroke line. Still, they’ve kept the no-taper technology and cross-traction surface texture that make all of their grips highly comfortable in the hands. At only 1″ in diameter, the GTR Tour is the thinnest in the line and weighs in at 65g. It’s probably your favorite SuperStroke if you’re not looking for an “oversized” option.

Pros

• Pistol-shaped design for easy grip.
• No taper and non-slip technology for total control.
• Good shock absorption.

Cons

• Price. As expensive as most of the products in the SuperStroke line.
• The polyurethane coating may take some getting used to.

 

9. ARM-LOCK GOLF PUTTER GRIP

We have included the Arm-Lock RX Lite for those who prefer to anchor their putters. This durable converter grip will allow you to turn any standard putter into a forearm putter. The RX’s have an angled inner bore that will enable you to align the shaft and grip with your forearm quickly.

In terms of specs, it’s considerably (and predictably) longer than the other grips on our list, measuring 15 inches compared to the standard 10.5 inches. It weighs 160 grams, but that’s expected given its functionality. What surprised us most was the 1.4″ top diameter, which means you’ll also get one of the wider grips, which we think works perfectly with the forearm grip. If you’re anchoring your putter, this should be your first choice.

Pros

• The extended length offers flexibility.
• Price. Low cost.

Cons

• Installation. Requires professional help.
• White design fades easily.

 

10. ODYSSEY PUTTER GRIP

We had to include it. The Odyssey grip comes in a semi-pistol design and weighs a featherweight 69g. In addition to making proven putter grips that feel great in hand, Odyssey grips always take pride in their appearance. The White Hot edition is especially pleasing to the eye. If you want your putter to look good, look no further.

Pros

• Semi-pistol shape for easy grip.
• Lightweight.
• Sleek design.

Cons

• Basic technology.
• Cost. Expensive.

 

CONCLUSION

So there you have it, our top ten online putter grips. We’ll leave you with some final thoughts.

Those willing to spend a little more on their next grip should consider our SuperStroke picks; they’re all designed to feel great in hand and very solid on contact.

Determine the diameter of the grip you’re looking for first, as deciding whether you want a normal feel, or an oversized feel will influence which option is best for you.

Those on a slightly smaller budget should consider the Karma Dual touch or the Champkey MTD.

Both are considerably less expensive than some of the more well-known brands without losing much functionality. The Champkey’s unique polyurethane casing is undoubtedly different but might be the perfect feel for you.
