Best Putter Grips: Our expert picks for comfortable, consistent putting

You can buy the best putter around, but without the right grip, putting with a true stroke becomes exponentially more difficult.

Putter grips have been the subject of endless development and experimenting over the last two decades, and now come in dozens of different shapes and sizes designed to quieten the hands and help you deliver the squarest face possible at impact, no matter your style of putting or putter.

Finding the right grip for you is a matter of feel, comfort, weight and balance, and there's no one-size-fits-all option out there. However there are some brands that have made providing the best putter grips possible a priority. These are our favourite brands and models to test out right now.

Golf Pride Zero Taper/Reverse Taper

RRP: £34.99

Key features:

• Uniform dimple texture provides added traction throughout the grip and a stronger connection to your putting stroke
• Softer, tackier surface in a more modern grip shape for performance in all condition
• Available in flat, round and pistol shapes with a flat front paddle for additional comfort

Golf Pride's answer to the growing trend of oversized putter grips hitting the market, the Zero Taper and Reverse Taper grips are both designed to help a wide range of golfers deliver the most consistent stroke possible with the putter.

The zero taper shape runs completely straight from top to bottom, helping players keep a consistent grip in both hands, while the reverse taper flips the traditional putter shape on its head, quietening the top hand while allowing the more stable bottom hand to do more of the work in squaring the putter face for impact.

Both have a soft, tacky feel, and come in a range of different shapes to suit players who want a pistol-style grip, a flatter front paddle or a more rounded shape.

Superstroke Zenergy

RRP: £34.99

Key features:

• Traxion Control texture with “X-Shaped” treads for enhanced feel, comfort, feedback, and tack
• No Taper Technology minimises grip pressure and quiets the hands for more consistency
• Spyne Technology on the underside of the grip provides feedback for repeatable hand placement and a square face at impact

Easily the name most synonymous with oversized putter grips, SuperStroke started a revolution with its putter grips back in the early 2000s and hasn't looked back since.

The Zenergy range remains SuperStrokes' flagship line, offering the reliable high tack, zero taper feel that players now know and love, with a huge range of shapes, sizes and colours catering to conventional, claw grip and wrist lock putters alike.

P2 Tour

RRP: £24.99

Key features:

• Range of tour colours and shapes
• Soft feel promotes even grip pressure while eliminating tension in the wrist and forearms
• High-tack outer surface provides great grip and moisture control

Established in 2005, British brand P2 is a growing name in the putting landscape, but is already making waves with its high quality putter grips and gaining the notice of PGA and LPGA players on tour. Despite this, their stated aim is very much to provide grips that help everyday players find more joy on the greens.

Key to the Tour range is the combination of a high-traction, tacky outer layer and firm rubber core, with a huge range of different shapes, colours and sizes available to suit the preferred feel and look of any player. Each grip has been extensively tested independently by leading putting analysis firm Quintic Sports, with the company finding the grips provide a measurable improvement in putting performance.

The new Core range also offers a more heavily weighted option, acting as a counterbalance for those who prefer that style of putter.

Flat Cat

RRP: £27.99

Key features:

• Range of tour colours and shapes
• Soft feel promotes even grip pressure while eliminating tension in the wrist and forearms
• High-tack outer surface provides great grip and moisture control

As the name suggests, Flat Cat putter grips are all about providing large, flat surfaces to help steady the hands and help you deliver a square face with more consistency. 

The original Flat Cat is notable for its unique rectangular shape, which aligns the putter face with the palm of your hand and helps you easier square the face to the centre of your intended target.

The brand's range of grips has grown since to include a range of different shapes and sizes, including the solution, which comes in both a square and a pistol shape, and the Tak, which builds on the formula of the original with a softer, tackier feel and a blacked-out colour scheme.
