SuperStroke TX1 Tour Extreme Club Grips
“What’s the perfect grip?”
That’s the question SuperStroke President Dean Dingman asked the company’s PGA Tour rep, who passed on the same question to Tour players. The result, after several years and countless prototypes, is the company’s new TX1 Tour Extreme Club Grips.
From a design standpoint, Dingman says the grips aren’t too different from what golfers currently have on their clubs. They’re not oversized or non-tapered like the company’s putter grips — that’s not what Tour players wanted. It’s the proprietary blend of two rubber compounds that he called “very different.”
[quote_box_center]”[Designing a grip] is like baking a cake,” Dingman said. “The hardness, the size, the taper, everything has to be right. “Grips are different shapes … we spent a lot of time giving these the shape and feel tour players wanted.”[/quote_box_center]
The grips offer golfers a blend of traction and control with a cord-infused upper portion and non-corded bottom portion that creates a softer feel.
The TX1 Tour Extreme Club Grips ($10.99 each, 52 grams) are available in five colors: (black/white), (red/white), (blue/white), (gray/white) and (green/white). Mid-Size grips ($11.99 each, 62 grams) are available in (black/white). Both grips are round.
Expect them in stores between mid-February and early March.
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
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.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

Can someone please tell ALL grip manufacturers that there are MANY of us who use jumbo grips and we would appreciate some variety! I’d buy a full set now if Super Stroke made them in jumbo size. Sticking with my Winn Dry tac grips waiting…

Didn’t they try this with the Pressure Zone grips a few years ago? I never had a chance to try them, but I can’t imagine that they were successful or they wouldn’t have pulled them.

The grips won’t last long from playing. If they lasted too long from playing, they wouldn’t sell enough, so I would expect them to be as bad as New Decades

I will give those a try. had the GP multi-compound decades but for me those wear out too much on the top due to the structure. Like my Flatso grip so wonder how those will be. Wouldn’t change all my grips at once but start maybe with my hybrid first.

I think a solid colour would have been better so not to run into a battle with GP multi’s but I am curious to see how they feel and how durable they are

I’ll stick to my Lamkin Crosslines… great grip at a great price with great durability.

It will be interesting to see if as many tour players play these on their woods and irons as their putters. They should just focus on putter grips. It is difficult enough to make a profit in the golf industry with what one is good at.

I would love to know where you guys are buying the NDMC grips for $8.00. The Super Strokes are $1.00 cheaper than NDMC for me. My local Golfsmith has them set at $10.99.

Try looking on this amazing new invention called the internet. The top Ebay golf sellers average around $8/grip. Anything lower than that is probably a counterfeit, but who knows?

Bad enough that a good golf pride grip is 10.00 but these ugly looking things for a couple bucks more and with that dumb giant logo. …….. no way!

couldn’t they make the logo any bigger?!

would have been nice to list the gram weight of these. are they standard around 50 grams, or what ? It will make a big difference when regripping.

Raymond,
The TX1 Grips weight 52g. The Mid Size option is 62g.
Thanks

Any indication whether or not these have a reminder or a rib? There’s only one pic that shows the back and it looks like they might.

These are all round grips. We will likely introduce a reminder as we grow the line.
Thanks

Appears to me to be a clone of the SharpPro grips that I’ve been using for at least the last ten years !! New technology ? Not in my book !!!

Another GP knockoff, except this one comes in $2 more than the multicompound. No thanks.
Stick to the putter grips SuperStroke – the club grip market is too crowded already. You may get a few curious players to try these out, and some carryover from the guys who own your putter grips, but I see you discounting these at least 50% or pulling these completely within 1-2 years. The next Black Widow (look up their failed venture into the grip market)…
For my money you can’t beat Avon or Tackimac grips. If I was going to spend $10 on a grip it would be IOMIC.
Jack Nash

Bought a set of their Pressure Zone grips a while back. Not bad but an easy inch too short. I agree with you. Another GP clone although the the Black Widows aren’t bad.

A new decade that costs more? Thats what we need.

I’d agree with earlier comments questioning why it took so long to copy the GP NDMC grips. Different look about them but otherwise they seem really similar. And why pay more for these? We’ll see I guess.
