Who it’s for: Golfers who prefer a parallel putter grip profile and want consistent feel and grip pressure beneath both hands
What you should know: Zero Taper is Golf Pride’s newest putter grip, designed to deliver a uniform feel from top hand to bottom hand while promoting repeatable hand placement and face awareness.
The Deep Dive: There’s always been a place in the putting world for golfers who prefer simplicity and symmetry in how a grip looks and feels in their hands. With Zero Taper, Golf Pride is leaning directly into that preference by introducing a fully parallel putter grip designed to maintain consistent feel from top to bottom.
Unlike traditional tapered putter grips that get narrower from the top toward the putter head, Zero Taper maintains a uniform geometric shape throughout. According to Golf Pride, that consistent profile is intended to help golfers apply even grip pressure with both hands, encouraging a more synchronized stroke and helping square the putter face at impact. The goal is a simpler, more-repeatable stroke without forcing players to adapt to an exaggerated shape.
The grip is constructed from polyurethane, making Zero Taper one of only a few putter grips in Golf Pride’s lineup built with that material. The company says the polyurethane construction delivers a soft yet responsive feel while also enabling more precise shaping and texture placement. The dimpled pattern is designed to enhance traction, and visual cues are built into it to help golfers find the ideal hand placement every time.
One of the more distinctive design elements is the horseshoe-shaped backside. Golf Pride describes this feature as an ergonomic anchor point, providing golfers with a natural resting place for finger folds and guiding consistent positioning without forcing a specific grip style. The deeper side profile is also intended to improve face awareness, providing players with clearer feedback on the putter head throughout the stroke.
Zero Taper is available in two sizes, medium and large, and in three colorways: black, red and blue. Despite the different sizes, Golf Pride maintained a consistent weight profile across the lineup, a design choice meant to preserve the putter’s balance and sweet spot while making it easier for golfers to feel the head during the stroke.
While this is not the first putter grip that maintains a uniform width and geometry throughout its length, it’s the first from Golf Pride, and it joins Reverse Taper, introduced in 2024, as part of the company’s expanding putter grip portfolio. While Zero Taper will not replace traditional tapered or pistol grips, it gives golfers who prefer a clean, parallel shape another modern option built around consistency and feel rather than extremes.
