Back in 2024, Golf Pride made a considerable shift in their design and focus surrounding putter grips via the introduction of their Reverse Taper design. Since its release, the model has met an interesting mixture of feedback but also gained Tour use and significant sales popularity. The thing is, the Reverse Taper styling even with its tech story, isn’t the most comfortable for everyone, so a large segment began asking for a taper-free version.
Well, almost two years later, Golf Pride is officially announcing their ZERO TAPER putter grip.
Golf Pride ZERO TAPER – When Shape Becomes Stability
When the Reverse Taper putter grip was introduced, it brought a whole new visual to putter grips for Golf Pride. With its bright white core color adorned with big and bold lettering, it was very quickly a look that stood out both in the real world and on television. With the new ZERO TAPER version, the key DNA in finish is the same, just with a little more flair in the three accent color options (black, blue, red).
First things first, this is being introduced alongside the Reverse Taper, and not as a replacement. This is something that the brand had been asked for quite a lot because though the shape of the RT wasn’t necessarily universally loved, the material and feel was enjoyed by many.
“Two years ago, we introduced Reverse Taper, and it quickly became one of the top-selling putter grips worldwide. With ZERO TAPER, we’re building on that success by offering players who favor a consistent geometric shape a grip that meets their needs. Whether we’re designing full-swing or putter grips, our brand’s mission is to create products that inspire confidence, enabling players of all skill levels to perform their best.”
— James Ledford – President of Golf Pride
The biggest goal with ZERO TAPER was to offer something that brings consistent feel through a uniform geometric shaping, keeping pressure and sensations the same in order to produce a more connected putting stroke for those who don’t want a taper. The grip is what Golf Pride calls “horseshoe” shapes, meaning a more natural curve at the rear while keeping a flatter front paddle section.
Along with the shaping, there was a big focus put into creating multiple visual cues for consistent hand placement as well as ensuring that there are multiple size options (medium and large). While they aren’t going crazy with options in terms of sizes, when combined with the Reverse Taper lineup, Golf Pride believes they have something for everyone.
