Best Golf Pride Putter Grips: Reverse Taper, Zero Taper and How to Choose

Putter grips sit in a different conversation from swing grips because the stroke is different, the hand action is different and the feel priorities change completely. A putter grip is not there to help you hold on through speed and turf interaction. It is there to help you deliver the face consistently and feel comfortable over every length of putt.

Golf Pride's putter range now spans traditional options and more modern concepts, which is useful because golfers do not all want the same shape. Some want a compact pistol feel. Others want a larger lower hand. Others want an even, parallel-style sensation in both hands.

This guide explains the main Golf Pride putter families and how to choose between them.

Why Putter Grip Shape Matters

With full swings, golfers often think first about traction and firmness. With putting, shape and hand placement usually become more important. The grip influences how the palms sit, how the wrists feel during the stroke and how clearly the face can be sensed through impact.

That is why changing a putter grip can alter confidence so quickly. A shape that suits your stroke can make the putter feel as if it wants to return square. A shape that does not suit you can make the face feel vague or overactive.

Golf Pride Reverse Taper

Reverse Taper is Golf Pride's answer for golfers who want a larger lower hand. The idea is to quiet excessive hand action and encourage a more stable feel through the stroke.

The range includes different shape options such as Pistol, Flat and Round, which means the family is not one single feel. It is a concept applied across different profiles. Golfers who like a fuller lower section but still want to choose a preferred shape often start here.

Golf Pride Zero Taper

Zero Taper is more modern. Golf Pride describes it as a parallel-style putter grip designed to give the same feel in both hands. The range also uses a horseshoe-style shape and flat front paddle to help with clubface awareness.

This makes Zero Taper attractive for golfers who do not want the hands to feel different at the top and bottom of the grip. If you prefer a more even, balanced sensation throughout the stroke, Zero Taper is one of the clearest options in the range.

It also suits golfers who want a putter grip that feels noticeably different from more traditional pistol shapes without becoming awkward or unfamiliar in a bad way.

Golf Pride Pro Only

Pro Only sits much closer to the traditional end of the spectrum. Golf Pride positions the family around ultra-firm rubber and streamlined shapes for maximum feedback, which is why it appeals to golfers who like a classic putter grip personality.

The range includes Red Star, Blue Star and Green Star shapes, giving golfers different profile options without moving away from the compact, feedback-rich idea. If you want the putter to feel precise and connected rather than oversized or heavily stabilised, Pro Only is the obvious family to compare.

How to Choose the Right Golf Pride Putter Grip

Start with the feeling you want during the stroke. If your hands feel too active, Reverse Taper is a logical test. If your grip feels inconsistent between the top and bottom hand, Zero Taper may make more sense. If you already like traditional pistol-style feedback, Pro Only deserves first attention.

Then think about size. Bigger is not automatically better on the greens. A larger grip can calm the hands for some golfers, but it can also reduce the amount of face feedback others rely on. The right grip is the one that improves comfort and start-line confidence together.

If you are making broader equipment changes at the same time, it helps to approach putter feel inside the wider fitting conversation. Our fitting page and golf services page are good starting points if you want help thinking through the bigger setup picture.

Do Putter Grips Matter in Indoor Practice?

Absolutely. Indoor practice tends to create repeated, measured putting sessions where small feel differences become obvious. If you are using a simulator room, practice setup or launch monitor-led environment, your putter grip can make the difference between a stroke that feels repeatable and one that always feels slightly off.

That is why putter grip choice still connects to the wider Outtabounds world of indoor golf spaces, simulator planning and equipment feedback. Putting comfort is still equipment performance.
