Plugged In Golf Review: Ultimate, Max, and Quad Tour

Read the entire Plugged In Golf Review of ULTIMATE, MAX, and QUAD TOUR: HERE.

"Much has been made of innovations in putter designs.  But that’s not the only part of the “flat stick” that has evolved in recent years.  Putter shafts and grips are now both parts of the equation for golfers looking to find more consistency on the greens.  Garsen putter grips aim to make it easier to take the hands out of the stroke and make a simple straight-back-and-through motion.

For this review, we tested three models: the MAX, the Ultimate, and the Quad Tour.

...

Garsen Quad Tour Putter Grip

The Garsen Quad Tour putter grip has the most jarring look of this group, in my opinion.  As you can see above, this grip has a trapezoidal shape that’s miles from traditional grips.  Despite the odd look, Dylan and I both felt that it was easy to transition to the Quad Tour from a standard pistol grip.  In fact, Dylan felt the Quad Tour was “a good marriage of what I am used to and what I am looking for” making it his favorite.  He also felt this grip promoted a flat left wrist and square contact.

...

More than any other aspect of the game, putting allows for a wide range of strategies.  Part of that is finding a grip and grip style that work for you.  Garsen grips appeal to that sense of individuality with a line of grips that are unlike the options you get from other makers.  If you’re looking to hit refresh on your putting, check out their unique options."

MAX MAX
MAX AUD $64.95
“Innovation, with a Twist”  The Garsen MAX grip features the most substantial innovation in putter grip technology in the history of golf. By using a square grip with a 45% rotation, the “front” of the grip now becomes an angled area perfectly fitting the players’ grip and creating a much more biomechanically efficient position for the putting stroke. This simple, yet highly effective, grip innovation is the fastest way to immediately improve your putting. HOW YOU WIN WITH THE MAX:Unlike a traditional putter grip, the MAX places your hands in a position so the palms face each other and the wrists are in a neutral position. It turns your elbows into your body and sets your shoulders back. This relieves arm and shoulder tension, inhibits wrist action, which takes “the hands out of the putting” and promotes shoulder rotation, creating a solid putting stroke, which will give you a one-piece feel, leading to a more consistent stroke.  How to grip the MAX:  Additional benefits of the MAX:    GRIP SPECS: Grip diameter: 1.5 Inches Weight: 55 Grams Core Size: .600 Firmness: Medium Shock Absorption: High Material: High-Tech PUl Feel: Semi-tacky Profile: Semi-Tapered Need it Longer?

"Versatility" The Garsen Ultimate grip brings the innovation of side facing thumb position to a full size, comfortable, and slightly less exaggerated feel. This grip is a great way to gain all the biomechanical advantages to your putting stroke while maintaining a more traditional overall feel to the grip.Unlike a traditional putter grip, the ULTIMATE has three flat sides. Like the original G-Pro design it allows you to place your hands in a position so the palms face each other and the wrists are in a neutral position. It also allows you to place hands into many other positions creating your desired grip. It works extremely well with the claw grip. This grip was developed with input from players on the PGA Tour.    More benefits of the ULTIMATE:   GRIP SPECS: Grip diameter: 1.15 Inches Length: 11 1/2″ Weight: 55 Grams (+ 1 – 3 g) Core Size: .600 Firmness: Black FIRM, Red MEDIUM, Blue/Green SOFT Shock Absorption: High Material: High-Tech PU Material Feel: Semi-tacky Profile: Non-Tapered
