SuperStroke reveals new “Zenergy” grip lineup on the PGA Tour
On Tuesday at the Cadence Bank Houston Open, GolfWRX spotted a lineup of new SuperStroke “Zenergy” putter grips.
Arnie Cunningham, a SuperStroke tour rep who travels to weekly PGA Tour events, explained to GolfWRX how the new SuperStroke Zenergy grips differ from the previous lineup of Traxion grips. Although SuperStroke isn’t yet revealing full tech details or a release date, here’s what Cunningham had to say:
“We brought out the new Zenergy grips at the Cadence Bank Houston Open. What we’re doing is updating the graphics, and we’re moving into a new line from the Traxion line. It’s called Zenergy, with a ‘Z.’
“We’ve got new, enhanced textures in the gripping zone, which is primarily down the side of the putter grip. Better textures, better feels. We’ve also got a new enhanced spine on the underside of the grips, which is just a little different. It’s going to feel slightly thinner to some people than the original spine in the Traxion. You’ll still have the feel of knowing where your hands are. It’s just not quite as protruding.”
“Then we’ve focused on improving the material. The material has gotten better each and every cycle with our grips. It really helps the feel of the putter.”
“The new colors are fantastic. We have seven new colorways: a really beautiful blue, we’ve added a purple, then we’ve got a lot of the traditional grays, reds and blacks that we’ve always had. The orange-and-blue is more racing inspired [not Miami Dolphins]. A lot of the car colors these days are that way. It does have an initial look of the Miami Dolphins, but the blue is a little lighter than that.”
“We’ve got a real soft launch right now. The feedback has been absolutely 100 percent. Everybody likes it. We only have enough product to display right now, and seed a couple. Right now, we have two guys in play that decided to put it on their gamer right away: Taylor Pendrith, who’s just coming off the Presidents Cup, he has a Flatso 1.0, and Brent Grant has a Pistol Tour. We have those two players for now, and we could add more. It’s still only Tuesday.”
“That’s the other thing we’re doing, we’re dropping the name GT. So instead of Pistol GT Tour, Pistol GT 1.0, Pistol GT 2.0, it’ll just be Pistol 2.0, 1.0, Tour, etc. It’ll switch into Zenergy going forward on everything, and we’re moving away from Traxion.”

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

Those grips just get nasty. There are plenty of other options that don’t discolour and get yucky.
