New SuperStroke Traxion series grips launch
SuperStroke has unveiled new Traxion series grips – the Traxion Series Putter Grips and the Traxion Tour Swing Grip.
In each of these new grips, SuperStroke has utilized Traxion Control which is a surface texture developed with the goal of enhancing feel and performance. Traxion Control uses “X-shaped treads” that are placed in high-sensory areas throughout the putter grips and swing grips and are designed to help boost feedback and responsiveness in the locations where the sensitive parts of a golfer’s hands contact the grip surface.
Featuring in SuperStroke’s new series of grips is the companies all-new Spyne Technology. The new technology adds a heavily embossed ridge on the underside of the grips which aims to serve as a reminder that guides golfers to repeatable hand placement, making it easier to square the face at impact.
Speaking on the new grips, SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman stated
“Different golfers need different things to play their best, which is why we offer a wide range of swing and putter grips. But there are also elements of grip design that are good for everyone. Traxion and Spyne are two technologies that are almost universally preferred and can help every golfer improve their game.”
SuperStroke Traxion Series Putter Grips
The Traxion Series Putter Grips are available in 15 models, all of which feature the companies No Taper Technology. The No Taper Technology is designed to help golfers add consistency to their stroke by quieting their hands and minimizing grip pressure through its lower hand profile.
Included in all Traxion Series Putter Grips is Tech-Port, which is an adjustable weight port in the cap of the grip which aims to allow golfers to counter-balance their putter to their needs. Tech-Port accepts all SuperStroke accessories including the CounterCore weight system.
The grips are available now at a price of $29.99.
Traxion Series Putter Grip models
- Claw Series: The new Claw profile is designed to work with all variations of the putting style. The Claw’s design incorporates a pistol-style top section which looks to help lock in the upper hand, while its three flat sides aim to increase surface area to accommodate different lower hand positions. Sizes: Claw 1.0 (Available April 2019), Claw 2.0 (Available Now). Colors: White/Red/Grey, White/Blue/Grey.
- Tour Series: The new Tour Series putter grips look to build on SuperStroke’s previous models: the Ultra Slim 1.0, Mid-Slim 2.0, Slim 3.0, and Fatso 5.0. Their round-back design is SuperStroke’s most popular shape. Sizes: Tour 1.0, Tour 2.0, Tour 3.0, Tour 5.0. Colors: White/Red/Grey, Black/White, Red/White, Grey/White, Black/Blue/White.
- Flatso Series: The Flatso putter grips feature the company’s pentagonal “Flatso” profile: a wide, flat-front grip shape with five pronounced edges. Sizes: Flatso 1.0, Flatso 2.0, Flatso 3.0. Colors: White/Red/Grey, Black/White, Black/Blue/White.
- Pistol GT: The Pistol GT putter grips merge a pistol-style top section which aims to help golfers lock in their upper hand position with “No Taper Technology” to provide golfers with the ability to maintain even grip pressure and boost the consistency of their stroke. Sizes: Tour, Pistol GT 1.0, Pistol GT 2.0 Colors: White/Red/Grey, Red/White, White/Blue/Grey
- SS2R Squared: The SS2R square-shaped grip with four flat sides seeks to help golfers remove excess tension from their hands, wrists, and forearms. At 107 grams, it provides additional back-weighting and is designed to pair with heavier putter heads. Colors: White/Red/Grey
- Plus XL Series: SuperStroke’s XL Plus Series grips measure 13.75 inches, which is 3.25 inches longer than the company’s standard length. The extra length is designed for golfers who use mid-length putters or want a little extra counter-balance. Sizes: Tour XL 2.0, the Tour XL 3.0, Flatso XL 2.0 Colors: White/Red/Grey
Traxion Tour Swing Grip
The Traxion Tour Swing Grip features Torsional Performance which is the companies two-piece construction that combines a soft, tacky polyurethane outer layer with a firm, rubber inner core which aims to provide stability and give golfers feedback and control on each shot.
The new Traxion Tour also features Taper Control Technology, Traxion Control and Spyne Technology all found in the Traxion Series Putter Grips.
Speaking on the Traxion Tour Swing Grip, SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman said
“In the past, choosing a polyurethane swing grip meant compromising performance for comfort. Leveraging what we’ve learned from our putter grips, we’ve been able to fix that. We made huge strides last year with our Cross Comfort swing grip, and the Traxion Tour elevates performance to an even higher level.”
The Traxion Tour arrives in May in four sizes and two colors: White/Grey and White/Red/Grey (standard size only). The grips will cost $6.99 for Undersize and Standard, $7.49 for Midsize, and $7.99 for Jumbo.

Pistol GT 1.0 is heavier than the 2.0? At least according to the specs on their website.

Seems strange to me. Or a typo? Just sent them a question to see but I am super”stoked” to get the 1.0 on the course in a few days. Feels great in the house.

Most players prefer ribbed grips? That’s a new one, I’d definitely say the opposite. Also the SS2R is a straight copy of the Two Thumbs Snug Daddy grips.

I’m looking forward to trying the swing grip. And yes, a cord version would be more desirable.

The design look so much better but will these disintegrate in the summer time during humid climate in humid climate regions?

These golf grips are over priced. That synthetic leather will disintegrate over time in humid temps!

Agree, and why not just a plan Black grip…$30 dollars and they look like heck after a few months and trying to clean them is a joke..they start breaking down as soon as you wash them…

Do these disintegrate in a few months in a humid climate, like all the previous ones?

I’m sure these grips are fine, but why doesn’t Superstroke release the cord version of their grip that we see all over Tour photos? People have been begging for them to release that, and a cord version of their swing grips… they would be instant mega-money-makers, do they not realize that?!
