TGM Patented under listings are injection moulded using a TPR (Thermo Plastic Rubber). This synthetic rubber compound is made in Melbourne, Australia and the injection moulded parts are also made in Melbourne, before we ship them to our own manufacturer and assembly facility in Thailand.

Our Golf Grips are made exclusively using only the finest genuine animal leather  that covers the TPR Underlisting, making The Grip Master grips the ideal grip option for anyone who has allergies triggered by latex/natural rubber

D-slim is similar to the old Wilson 8802 leather putter grip.

The Tour putter is just a little bigger than the Ping FF58.

The Midsize Roo Grip masters are similar in size to the Golf Pride Tour Velvet Jumbo.

Paddle is very similar in the size, shape and weight of the Scotty Cameron Matador Midsize.

FL27 is exactly the same size as a Super Stroke 2.0.

Fl28 is like a Super Stroke 3.0.
 
FL35 is a longer paddle version putter grip, standing at 14 inches.

The tackiness of our grips are created by dipping the leather into natural terpene based resin (tackifier) and it basically impregnates the leather with the tackifier.

For TGM tactified grips all you need to do is dip the grip in a bucket of water or hold it under a running tap and towel dry. Do not use any solvents or detergents as it takes the tackiness out of grip.

It’s very rare that the tackiness is lost, you will just need to bring it back out by using water and giving it a vigorous rub down with a towel.

In the rare case it doesn’t come back, I have heard from some of your fellow customers that they have used surfboard wax with much success.

Alternatively, there is nothing better than new set of grips to revitalize a set of clubs! 

The grips can be built up with 2 build up and 1 double side comfortably.

Please note that standard TGM grip on a standard .600” butt shaft will come on .910 which is like a paper over standard.

So you may get away with only double sided or max one extra tape.

If your grips are properly taken care of, they will last as long as your clubs do, if not even longer.
 
The Grip Master grips have been known for lasting 2 to 3 times longer than other rubber or cord grips as The Grip Master grips wear in and don’t wear out.
 

The Classic Wraps shouldn’t fully separate as they are wrapped with torsional resistance. We have noticed some golfers hands move on the grip and or their thumb may slip up and down the grip, which may cause the strap to peel back. 

There are a couple of solutions.

1) Take off the grip and re-install the grip on a different angle so the thumb sits in the middle of strap rather than in between the strapping join.

2) Swap to a sewn back which is a single panel grip.

Questions About Swing Grips

Our most popular grip is the Kangaroo Sewn Swinger “The ROO”.

But it does depend on what driver shaft you’re putting it on.

Classic wrap: Strapped Cowhide wrapped around the shaft

Roo: Kangaroo – one piece – sewn seam down spine

Master: Cowhide with Large perforation – one piece – sewn seam down spine

Signature: Cabretta (Sheep skin) – one piece – “Baseball” lacing down spine

Kidd: Kidd (Goat) – one piece – sewn seam down spine

All grips are treated with the same amount of tackifier.

All grips have a 1mm foam base backed to the leather.

All grips are assembled on the same standard or midsize under listing to suit a .600 shaft. 

NB: recommend no more than two papers underneath.(leather does not expand)

Classic wrap has the softest feel because of the “valleys” between wraps.

Roo, Kidd have a similar firm feel.

Master has a slightly softer feel because of the perforations.

Signature has the baseball stitch down the spine which gives that “reminder rib” feel and initially feels slightly tackier because the Cabretta holds a touch of tackifier on the surface.

The Classic Wraps shouldn’t fully separate as they are wrapped with torsional resistance. We have noticed some golfers’ thumb placement may slip the grip up and down out of place, which may cause the strap to peel back.

1) Take off the grip and re-install the grip at a different angle so that the thumb sits in the middle of strap rather than in between the strapping join.

Questions About Putter Grips

The Grip Master Signature Cabretta Laced putter grip has a softer feeling if that’s what you’re looking for.

It also comes in a lot of different colors.

The FL series are a non taper putter grip and the circumference is as follows:

FL27 = 3.75inch

FL28 = 4inch

The Scotty Matador oversize Grip = 4.75inch

The Signature is made with a soft Cabretta fashion leather treated with a lite bees wax, of which creates a little tack with a soft feel.

The Roo is a much firmer dense leather dipped in grip master proprietary tackifier (plant base), of which creates a tacky and firm feeling grip, making it awesome in all weather conditions.
