SuperStroke U.S. Open putter grips
You’ve said it to yourself before:
If I makes this putt, I win the U.S. Open.
You, me and nearly every other serious golfer in the world has played the role of a soon-to-be major champion at some point. It’s a way for us to feel closer to the championships we admire, and share the joy we’ve felt when out favorite golfers have won (actual) major championships.
This year, SuperStroke has decided to put those major championships directly into golfers hands with its major championship-inspired putter grips.
The grips, which are limited to about 500 pieces for each championship, sold out in a matter of days the week of The Masters. And SuperStroke Marketing Director Jon Luna expects the same thing to happen with the company’s U.S. Open putter grips.
“Golfers, especially the ones on GolfWRX, want small batch stuff that not everyone can get,” Luna said. “It makes it that much more special in their eyes.”
The U.S. Open putter grips are available on SuperStroke’s website for $29.99 in the company’s 1.0 (Ultra Slim) 2.0 (Mid Slim), 3.0 (Slim) and 5.0 (Fatso) sizes, and are identical to the retail models in weight and size. But they have a red-white-and-blue color scheme that not only honors golf’s most grueling major — it shows an arrangement of colors that could become a part of the company’s product line in the future.
“With the major grips, we want to show golfers what we can do,” Luna said. “The pattern on the top quarter of the grip has become synonymous with our company, so to be able to do it in two colors is a step forward because our customers have been requesting certain colors and graphics.”
Other custom touches to the limited-edition U.S. Open grip include an homage to Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell (this year’s tournament takes place at Merion Golf Club, located in the suburbs of Philadelphia), as well as a stars-and-stripes section that flanks the sides of the grips. The words “U.S. Open” are stenciled in under the Liberty Bell, and “Merion 2013” is printed along the seam on the back of the grip.

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.
This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.
Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
Nick’s putter is finished off with a chrome steel shaft and a Super Stroke Zenergy Flatso 2.0 grip in black and white.

Kudos to Super Slim for a tastefully done niche grip.
However, what we really need is the black/gray grip that is available in Japan this summer to better hide the grime of sweaty hands.
