Golf Pride Grips introduced an all-new oversized putter series called TOUR SNSR. These new grips feature larger Tour-proven shapes, engineered with innovative SNSR material that delivers unsurpassed Tour-level feel and feedback.
The new TOUR SNSR Series features a soft-tuned rubber formulation that gives these grips an extraordinary feel and encourages a lighter grip pressure that golfers seek in creating a smooth stroke. The new SNSR compound also enhances Tour-level feedback into the hands to improve player distance-control. Golfers can dial in the feel that fits them best with two Tour proven shapes, the TOUR SNSR CONTOUR and the TOUR SNSR STRAIGHT.
The CONTOUR is an evolution of the classic tapered pistol profile that is the shape preference of over 75% of Tour players. It allows golfers to “lock in” their upper hand for consistent hand placement which translates to more confidence in every stroke.
The STRAIGHT offers a contemporary, non-taper shape, promoting a consistent hand pressure and feel. The design features soft, rounded edges that are strategically beveled for palm and finger pad comfort.
All four TOUR SNSR models feature a wide paddle front, sculpted to promote lighter grip pressure and consistent hand placement. Additionally, they are each finished with a traction-textured design that provides heightened feel and moisture control. Each shape is available in two oversize options, 104cc and 140cc.
“Our new TOUR SNSR Series is arguably our most distinctive and innovative new putter grip line ever produced,” said Brandon Sowell, global director of sales and marketing. “We worked extensively with Tour players and amateurs for input during development and they clearly highlighted a need for enhanced feel and feedback with larger putter grips. Our R&D team took the challenge and produced a new soft rubber formulation that redefines excellence for feedback and Tour performance.”
