Sergio Garcia is using a set of custom SuperStroke club grips at the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay.

Garcia, the No. 8-ranked golfer in the world, has been a long-time user of the company’s putter grips and is the highest-profile player to put the company’s club grips in play. Garcia also used the grips at the European Tour’s Irish Open three weeks ago.

SuperStroke’s TX1 Tour Extreme grips ($10.99) are available in five colors (black/white, blue/white, grey/white, lime/white, red/white) and have a half-cord design. Garcia’s SuperStroke club grips have the same cross-traction pattern as the TX1 grips, but have a non-cord design and are solid gray in color.

According to a SuperStroke representative, Garcia’s grips have a 0.58-inch core (round) and are installed with one wrap of grip tape, logo down.

Kind of clever on Superstroke’s part, but something I could see being a bit annoying to golfers. Even though Sergio’s grips are installed “logo down,” there’s STILL a slightly smaller SS logo on the other side. THERE’S NOWHERE TO RUN!!!

I put one on my 3 wood to try it out and it felt really good, it has a nice firm grip so I don’t lose the club at the top. Without a glove on I was not sure I would like it but with a glove it has good feel and tack. my only knock would be that the bottom of the grip is white and will get quite dirty quickly as it did at the range, mind you it was a little soft due to recent rain but still it does seem to get dirty.

Really great grips. Just put them on my clubs. They don’t feel as “hard” or as tough as the NDMC.

Spotted: Titleist GTS USWO headcovers

GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore was at Riviera Country Club this last week in Los Angeles for the U.S. Women’s Open. While browsing the photos, I spotted a recent major trend in headcovers. That is, the Titleist GTS headcover line expands the majors theme.

Seen on the bag of Natalia Guseva were the red, white, and blue Titleist GTS covers. This is the third time we have seen limited-edition Titleist major covers, the others being at the Masters and the PGA Championship. But with the launch of the GTS line back at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March, this is the first time we have seen Titleist come out with major themed head covers for the season (driver headcovers through hybrids).

Check out some photos below.

At the Masters, we saw the familiar Masters green, white, and yellow. While the PGA Championship design was colors synonymous with the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. This shows the season major drops continue full steam ahead for major OEMs. New opportunities for each major for designs and themes, and who knows, maybe a lucky spark for a player and a major championship for their resume. It gets the wheels turning for what major theme headcover you would keep on your bag for the whole season!

Titleist GT280 mini driver after 3 rounds – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

Will Schube

In our forums, one user has announced himself as a believer in the powers of Titleist’s GT280 Mini Driver, and is sharing the good news with other members.

User @dgarland chronicled:

“As the title states I have played 3 rounds with a Titleist GT280 mini driver and here are the results… If you have been contemplating trying one, definitely do. Stock Tensei Blue and set at standard loft and it’s legitimately hard to not put the ball in play with this. It is incredibly straight and even bad swings result in a usable shot. You will give up some distance but you will be in play. I have not attempted to hit it off the fairway yet but I rarely hit my 3 wood off the fairway either. At my home course there are two holes on the front 9 that are a really uncomfortable shot with the driver. One is a slight dogleg right where a draw (my normal shot) can run out of room fast and the other is a dogleg left with trees about 250ish straight off the tee, where a driver that doesn’t draw will get me into trouble. The mini driver has been perfect for both of them. I always step onto those tee boxes uncomfortable about the shot I need to play, but with this it makes it far easier to get the ball in play.

“Update: 2 for 2 again this morning in a 9 hole round.”

Members in the forum shared their thoughts on mini drivers, offering up their favorite models and whether or not they’re a proper fit for their home course/style of play. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

NorthMNgolfer: “I’m curious between this and the new TEC mini that was just released. But I’m waiting a mini that can be used from the fairway as well from time to time. Both look like great options.”
jLMN: “I played the GT280 last year and it’s a great club. My problem this year is I couldn’t justify keeping it in the bag when I would only use it 2-3 times per round. Perfect club for short par 4 tee shots. I didn’t trust it as well off the deck compared to the tee box.”
GolferPerson1: “I can only speak to the 280 but I’ve had no issues with it from the fairway. ”
