Best Golf Pride Grips 2025

Over 80% of players on the PGA Tour use Golf Pride grips, and it’s easy to see why. Despite a number of quality companies within the golf grip industry, Golf Pride are the industry leaders, with 65% of recreational players opting for their products. One of the reasons that Golf Pride has been so successful is the number of grips it has to offer to meet the both the feel and performance needs of any golfer.

We all know the importance of a good, reliable grip – after all, it’s the only part of the golf club we come in contact with. There are different types, too, like softer rubber grips for extra softness or comfort and cord grips for a firmer feel with enhanced feedback. What follows is a look at our picks for the best golf grips in the company’s current lineup.

Golf Pride offer two main unique technologies with the grips they produce. Align Technology raises the edge on the underside of the grip to help players have more consistent hand placement, thus helping stabilize the clubface at impact. The Plus 4 Technology features a thicker lower section of the grip to help players grip the club lighter in an effort to create more power and clubhead speed. In each section below, we’ll let you know if Align and/or Plus 4 is available for the particular grip being highlighted.

The List

How we test golf grips

We test golf gear with an ethos built upon several key ideals. To start, the products get thorough extensive testing from good club golfers because we believe that's more useful than the opinions of PGA pros or robots.

Our review process consists of us using each grip over several rounds and in different conditions to ascertain how each product performs in wet, dry, hot or cold conditions. By using the products in this manner we are able to provide reliable advice and feedback to you on how they perform. In terms of grips, that means using them for practice, range sessions and proper rounds to gauge performance, durability, feel and so on.

Most importantly, Golf Monthly's reviews our made by golfers, for golfers. We know what people want in their reviews and test our products in all types of conditions to come to the fairest conclusion possible.

How to choose a golf grip

Golf grips come in a wide variety of different shapes and sizes. Modern grips boast a ton of technology that can help improve your grip and feel on the club, allowing you to make a better connection with the golf ball. So how do you know which golf club grip is right for you? There a number of key things to keep in mind when selecting what grip is right for you, se we've summarised them below to help make you the important decision.

Size

Certain grips suit different sized hands. If you have big hands like Bryson DeChambeau, then chances are a you'd suit a bigger, thicker grip. If your hands are on the smaller side of things, a smaller, thinner grip could be the one for you. Getting a grip that fits the size of your hands is a crucial first step in the process.

Feel

Ulitmately, what we're looking for when we grip the golf club and stand over our shot is feel - can we get a positive feel between hands and club so we can begin the swinging process? Do you like the feel of corded grips or perhaps you want a softer feeling model, a more velvet kind of touch on your hands? Or, do you want the best of both of those worlds? Getting your hands on some grips to see how they feel is the best way of deciphering which model to go for and which will be the best model for your hands. Feel is probably the most important aspect of the process - if you don't like how the club feels in your hand then how can you be expected to hit it well?

Moisture management

Linking with the above point, be aware of how different some grips are and how they deal with sweat and wet weather. This is because some models, like the Golf Pride MCC for example, cope with water very well because they've been designed to, whereas some other models haven't. If you're in the UK or Ireland, for example, you'll likely have to take into account how the grips perform in the rain. If you're based in the USA, say, Texas, you may have to worry less about playing in the rain but more on how the grip performs in hot, sweaty conditions. Your environment and the context around that should play into your decision of which grips to rock with.

Color

Make it your own! Be yourself! If your a sports fan, show your colours! The Ohio State fan - get the red and white multicompound grips! The LA Lakers fan, find some purple and yellow grips and get swinging! If you have a personal attachment to your club through the grips, chances are you can perform better with it. Trick your mind into an extra level of comfort by choosing your favourite colours for your grips.

Budget

Budget always factors into these golf decisions. Personally, considering grips can last years of wear and tear, I believe it's worth paying a little extra for good grips that will last you in the long run. However, there are good, cheaper options out there for the more casual player.

While it is wise to think about replacing your golf club grips as they start to get worn out, you should also think about replacing your clubs too as they get older. For that reason, take a look at our guides on the best golf irons, the best golf drivers and the best golf putters.
