Golf Pride’s latest grips: Z Grip Align, Tour Velvet Plus4, and Tour SNSR (2019 PGA Show)

Published

on

Golf Pride’s latest lineup of grips for 2019 — the Z Grip Align, Tour Velvet Plus4, and Tour SNSR — will be available to purchase from March.

Z Grip Align

The Z Grip Align features a brushed cotton cord texture (as found in the original Z Grip), which aims to control moisture management, and Golf Pride have combined this feature with Align Technology. The Align Technology in the Z Grip Align seeks to provide golfers with consistent hand placement through a raised ridge on the back of the grip.

The firm grip on the Z Grip Align ( STD 50.5g, MS 59g) is designed to offer players maximum feedback on each shot.

Tour Velvet Plus4

Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet Plus4 features a more durable rubber and softer feel, which aims to provide both comfort and moderate feedback to players. With its larger outside diameter, the Tour Velvet Plus4 seeks to create the feeling of building up the grip with four extra wraps, while the reduced taper on this grip looks to provide players with excellent feel.

With the Tour Velvet Plus4, the tighter pattern, combined with the increased traction is designed to ensure a player’s hands don’t slip, even in poor conditions.

Tour SNSR

The Tour SNSR features a slightly refined pistol shape and comes in a 104cc, as well as a 140cc. The rubber on the Tour SNSR is 40 percent softer than any other Golf Pride putter grip, which aims to offer players the ultimate amount of feel on their stroke.

The grip’s broad paddle front is designed to aide both hand placement and face alignment, while the larger geometry in the upper hand is designed to help players lock in their grip to create a more consistent stroke.

The Golf Pride Z Grip Align, Tour Velvet Plus4 and Tour SNSR are all set to be released on March 1.

Additionally, GolfWRX learned some Tour Velvet 360 and MCC Plus4 grips will feature Arccos integration. We expect more information on the collaboration ahead of the early summer release.

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter

Published

on

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.

This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.

Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.

The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.

Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.
