Golf Grips with Less Taper is now Trending

 Using a golf grip that is not suitable and comfortable for your hands can result in wasting a lot of time trying to find the proper grip to hit your golf ball. Since the golf grip is the only part that connects you with the rest of your golf club, using a suitable golf grip is crucial. The feel and grip of your golf grip will greatly impact your performance in the game. 

Tapering is a method that golf club manufacturers use to shape the golf grip. This is mainly done to provide players better grip and prevent the club from slipping out of the hands. Typically there are four ways of tapering the grip. They are tapered, non-tapered, reduced taper, and reverse taper (developed more recently).

Less Taper, More Power

Recently less tapered grips are becoming the growing trend in golf. The reason being the comfort and control they provide. Reduced taper is another term for less taper. In this type of grip, the size of the cap remains the same size as you will see in the typically tapered grip. However, the rate of taper at the tip is reduced or less, making the bottom portion of the grip appear slightly larger. 

In the past few years, Winn introduced a new model to its Winn DriTac X putter grips series, aptly named DriTac X LT, which is less taper. These series provide golfers a soft, polyurethane model grips to choose from. Similar to the Winn DriTac X putter grips series, Dri-Tac X LT also comes in three different sizes to suit different groups of players. Winn DriTac X LT putter grips are designed with a less tapered feature that offers a larger lower hand, thereby offering golfers with lighter grip pressure and better control. 

ADVANTAGES OF LESS TAPERED GOLF GRIPS

• Less tapered golf grips can help players lighten grip pressure in their dominant hand. This then helps reduce strain and allows for more stable and control swing-throughs.

• Less tapered golf grips reduce grip pressure and wrist activity for a smooth pendulum stroke out of the shoulders.

• For players suffering from hand injuries or arthritis, the larger lower profile of less tapered grips provides for easier gripping with less fatigue and less pain.

• The less tapered golf grips help retain the delicate balance of the grip that the manufacturers have developed by adding minimal additional weight. This helps players achieve optimum weight for a shaft for better swing and more clubhead speed.
