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.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

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.

almost looks like Winn/GPand/SuperStroke had a 3 way

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?
Jeff Smith
Jan 19, 2015 at 11:56 am
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!
Mark
Jan 19, 2015 at 11:34 am
couldn’t they make the logo any bigger?!
Raymond Norris
Jan 19, 2015 at 10:42 am
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.
SuperStroke_Greg
Jan 19, 2015 at 11:23 am
These are all round grips. We will likely introduce a reminder as we grow the line.
Thanks

No orange? Boo. Besides I’d def want to flip these over. The SuperStroke logo is huge.

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 !!!
Jonny B
Jan 19, 2015 at 10:10 am
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
Jan 19, 2015 at 10:39 am
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.
