Spotted: SuperStroke Cord Putter Grips
In recent years, the SuperStroke name has become almost synonymous with putter grips themselves. The company’s putter grips of various shapes and sizes have not only become a runaway success on the PGA Tour, but with golfers worldwide.
But there has always been a tiny subset of golfers who have stayed away from the company’s putter grips for one reason: they love cord putter grips and SuperStroke doesn’t offer any. It appears SuperStoke may be working on something for them.
At this week’s CareerBuilder Challenge, GolfWRX photographed prototype SuperStroke cord putter grips that were being tested by PGA Tour players. According to a company representative, the grips were created at the request of Tour players and are just prototypes for now.
Like all SuperStroke putter grips, the corded models are made of a high-tech polyurethane and can be produced in each of the company’s grip sizes.
We photographed:
- Pistol GT 1.0 (the non-corded putter grip used by Sergio Garcia)
- Pistol GT 2.0
- Slim 3.0
- Flatso 1.0 (the non-corded putter grip used by Jordan Spieth)
- Flatso 3.0
- Ultra Slim 1.0
The grips are said to provide a “traditional cord feel” and “better wet-weather traction.”

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans
We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)
MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype
MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.
Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype
We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.
Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS
Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.
Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2
This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.
Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype
This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

This is a solid move by SuperStroke. I switched to a GolfPride Tour SNSR (fantastic), and one of the main reasons was because in the 100 sweatbox that DC is in the summer my SS got slick, which is terrible for any club, especially a putter.

For when you grip your putter too hard in the rain.
