Not all grips are created equal, and the new Reverse Taper models from Golf Pride have received rave reviews (literally) since they were released in the spring.
GOLF’s Fully Equipped podcast crew Wadeh Maroun and Kris McCormack recently put them to the test and were equally impressed.
What makes these grips different from the rest is the name – the thickest part of the grip is at the bottom, which Golf Pride says reduces hand strain and improves stability.
There are three Reverse Taper models: Flat, Pistol and Round.
As McCormack explains in the video above, the Round is the more traditional design, the pistol grip has more of a defined edge and helps lock in the upper hand, while the flat grip would typically work better for players who like to palm. theirs facing each other, ideal for “someone who drives that shot with more pull with that lead hand.”

“Within the grip category, we observed a trend in which manufacturers were actively trying to design products that moved the hands away from the putting stroke, while our research shows that by optimizing the connection between the hands and the grip, players can improve performance theirs,” said James Ledford, president of Golf Pride, when the gloves were unveiled in March. “Through hundreds of iterations of the concept, our innovation team created the Reverse Taper, which has been tested very positively with players of all skill levels.”
