Which SuperStroke Grip Is Right For You?
SuperStroke grips are recognized for their performance on the putting green. Golfers like Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay have helped the SuperStroke brand really break through. However, SuperStroke offers a full line of club grips in addition to its putting grips. As with any grip brand, the key is to try to find one that is the best fit for your game. We’ve broken down some of the top-selling SuperStroke grips to help you narrow down which one will feel right in your hands.
Club Grips
All golf grips claim to offer feedback, feel and traction. Here is a tip: If you are thinking of changing all the grips on your clubs, start with just one and then go from there. Put one on your 7-iron or 8-iron and play with it for two weeks then, if you’re happy, change them all.
S-Tech
The S-Tech is a soft, premium rubber grip that combines a cushion-like effect with plenty of tackiness. The S-Tech is suitable for all weather conditions as it does prevent your hands from slipping.
Sometimes, softer-feeling grips feel smoother and thus less tacky but not the S-Tech. This is the SuperStroke stock club gip that can work for almost any player.
Who It’s For: The S-Tech is ideal for players looking for consistency and playability across the entire set of clubs. It’s also a good value.
Traxion Wrap
The Traxion Wrap’s design and style help you find the perfect place for your hands without increasing grip pressure. It is known for its stability and feedback.
With the wrap style, torque is reduced and you’ll have a firm grip on the club even when it’s hot and humid.
Who It’s For: Golfers who need a little more stability in their hands but don’t want to increase overall grip pressure.
Cross Comfort
The Cross Comfort is a soft grip with an X-shaped tread which helps provide non-slip performance without roughing up your hands.
If you aren’t quite ready for a cord grip but know your hands tend to slip, the Cross Comfort is the perfect mix of styles for you.
Who It’s For: Any golfer looking for non-slip performance without sacrificing comfort. Essentially, you want to go after the ball at full speed without your hands hurting!
S-Tech Cord
The S-Tech Cord is a combination of soft rubber and cord material. Its benefits include moisture-wicking technology and control even in the worst conditions. You’ll like what the S-Tech offers if you have sweaty hands or need extra grip security because of your speed.
Who It’s For: Faster swingers with sweaty hands or players who play in humid and/or wet conditions.
Traxion Tour
The premium SuperStroke club grip is the Traxion Tour. This one has a Tour-quality feel (which is a little firmer). The Traxion Tour features a soft polyurethane outer layer that covers their Torsional Performance technology.
The firm rubber core helps give better players the control they need for precision shots. Traxion Tour also features Taper Control Technology to keep the lower hand area a little thicker and reduce grip tension.
Who It’s For: Experienced golfers who want Tour-level feel, performance and control. The Traxion Tour is a little more expensive than something like the S-Tech but still more affordable than some other Tour-level grips.
Putter Grips
There are a lot of SuperStroke putter grips to choose from. Some are longer to accommodate different putting stroke styles while others are standard length. Here are a few of the top-performing grips and what makes them each stand out.
Zenergy WristLock
Consistency in wrist action is huge in putting. We would love to say that the wrists remain completely still throughout the entire stroke but they do move a little. To keep that movement to a minimum, the Zenergy WristLock is a good choice.
The Zenergy WristLock has a firm and tacky feel; just set your hands and leave them there.
Who It’s For: If you struggle with inconsistency on the greens, this is a good place to start (especially before you replace your putter!).
Zenergy Flatso
The SuperStroke Flatso has a wide, flat-front grip shape, which Spieth used to win all of his major championships. The grip shape is five-sided with pronounced edges and Multi-Zone Texture.
This one comes in eight colors and three sizes so you won’t have a hard time finding one that works for you.
Who It’s For: Any golfer who wants to improve their hand positioning on the club. Flatso comes in standard or 17-inch lengths.
Zenergy 2.0PT
The SuperStroke 1.0PT is one of the most popular options and the 2.0PT is designed for golfers who want something slightly larger. This one is a pistol-style shape with a more pronounced arc under the top hand.
The Zenergy 2.0PT is part of the SuperStroke Off The Truck Program. The grip was previously only available to Tour players but now amateur golfers can get their hands on it as well.
Who It’s For: Golfers looking for a classic design and feel with modern technology and a little extra thickness. If you want to try a SuperStroke putting grip, this is a good place to start.
Zenergy SS2R Squared
The Zenergy SS2R features enhanced SPYNE Technology with a ridge along the grip’s underside. You’ll find this in a lot of SuperStroke grips. It’s used to help square the putter face at impact.
With the SSR2 Squared, you get a one-inch-square profile and a little extra weight than most of the SuperStroke grips. This one could be a good choice if you have a heavier putter head.
Who It’s For: Choose it if your hands oppose each other in your grip and if you have a heavier putter head you want to keep square throughout the stroke.
Zenergy Claw
The claw putting grip is accurate. It takes a bit to get used to the feeling and the position of the club grip in the beginning but, once you have it, the grip works. Finding the right putting grip for the claw grip can be tricky because of the need to lock in the upper hand.
SuperStrokes Zenergy Claw grip has three flat sides, increased surface area and is the perfect setup for players with a claw grip style.
Who It’s For: Any golfer with a claw putting grip style, even if you use a non-traditional claw.
Zenergy Tour
The Tour Series comes in several different sizes (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0). All of the Tour Series grips feature Enhanced Spyne Technology and Multi-Zone Texturing. They have a more premium feel and a parallel design to help keep grip pressure more consistent.
You’ll also get the option for eight colors in the Tour Series.
Who It’s For: If you want the benefits of a Tour-inspired putting grip with impressive consistency, you’ll find it here.
Limited-Edition Putter Grips
SuperStroke puts out some fun limited-edition grips. These are a mix of style and performance. Keep an eye out for models like “Party in the Desert” or “Lucky Clover.” They sell out fast but the limited edition usually comes in a few different styles like the Tour 2.0, Pistol Tour and Pistol 1.0.
The Bottom Line
SuperStroke offers advanced technology at a fair price for golfers of any level. If you are new to the SuperStroke brand and want to start with the basics, try the S-Tech for your clubs and the Zenergy 2.0PT on the putter.
