What are the advantages of a no-taper putter grip?
When it comes to improving your golf game, every detail counts. While many players focus on perfecting their swing or selecting the right clubs, they often overlook the importance of the putter grip. The grip you choose can have a significant impact on your putting performance, and one option that has gained popularity among golfers is the non-tapered putter grip. In this article, we will explore the benefits of a non-tapered putter grip, using the SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 as an example.
Improved Consistency and Feedback
One of the key advantages of a no-tapered putter grip like the SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 is the improved consistency and stability it offers. Unlike traditional tapered grips, non-tapered grips maintain a consistent diameter from top to bottom. This design promotes a more even grip pressure and eliminates the potential for wrist manipulation during the putting stroke.
A non-tapered design allows golfers to place their hands in a more neutral position, reducing the chance of unwanted twisting or rotation during the stroke. By providing a larger surface area for the hands to grip, it enhances stability and helps golfers maintain a steady, pendulum-like motion.
Enhanced Feel and Feedback
A no-tapered putter grip such as the SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 also enhances feel and feedback, crucial elements for a successful putting game. The uniform grip diameter and the innovative Zenergy technology material employed by SuperStroke offer a superior tactile experience, allowing golfers to develop a better sense of how the putter face interacts with the ball. The Zenergy material technology incorporated into the grip surface features strategically placed, advanced surface texture, which improves traction and responsiveness. This enables golfers to have a heightened feel for the impact and the control required to achieve consistent roll and distance control, while maintaining as consistent hand placement as possible.
Putting requires a delicate touch and a relaxed stroke. However, the presence of tension in the hands and wrists can disrupt the smoothness of the motion, leading to erratic putts. A non-tapered putter grip helps reduce tension by providing a more comfortable and natural grip.
Other Shape Options
The SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 2.0 is not the only grip shape offered with a no-tapered design. As a patented part of SuperStrokes core philosophy, all of their putter grip shapes feature no-taper technology. Even in smaller shapes like the 1.0PT you’ll notice that the bottom of the grip does not taper all the way down to the shaft, even though this tour style grip does have some lower hand taper. Having these no-taper advantages available in your favorite shape helps any golfer with any putting technique take advantage of the benefits of no-taper putter grip.
