The grip is the only part of the club with which we have contact throughout the swing, so should we be making better decisions about the grips we are using?
Golf Pride certainly think so, and that thought process was the driving force to design their latest model, the CPX, which is the company’s softest ever performance grip.
“The connection between the hands and mind is critical in the game of golf. We’re so excited about CPX because the new design and ultra-soft rubber compound we’ve developed take this connection to the next level. Anyone who tries the CPX will immediately feel the difference.”
Jamie Ledford, Golf Pride
Golf Pride CPX: First impressions
These grips stand out from a mile away. I love the light grey colour way and also think the use of different textures is really striking. But the patterns aren’t just for visual effect, they are part of the new technologies.
Golf Pride CPX: The technology
CPX stands for ‘Comfort Performance Extreme’. The whole idea behind the grip is to provide superior feel through extreme softness while also delivering the best new technologies.
The grip is constructed from a soft and responsive rubber compound which moulds to the hands for ultimate control and stress relief. A soft grip for a hard game.
“We know that golfers of every calibre quest for the ‘right feel’ when they have a club in their hands. The new CPX focuses on exactly that. Golf is hard. There’s a lot to think about. We believe that the right grip can create comfort – for your hands and your mind – regardless of your skill level.”
Eric Gibson, Golf Pride
The striking design comes from the EXO Diamond-quilted pattern that is inspired by the grips on BMX bikes. It is raised to maximise contact area with your hands to enhance performance. It also reduces vibrations to give you maximum comfort in your hands.
The blue end-cap is a Control Core, this complements the softer rubber around it and helps provide maximum control.
