Salty Putter Grips

[rlheiman]

These are the only grip that you will find that gets better with age. It is simply amazing how great they feel after 25 or 30 rounds. They are slight indentations where you normally have your hands. I've got 4 grips so far and will probably keep putting them on each new putter I try.

I haven't felt a change this significant for $35 in a LONG time. I'm buying another just to keep un-used, should anything ever happen and for whatever reason they become unavailable. Seriously people, they're that good. I feel the ball all the way up the shaft and directly into my palms, Instant feedback before the ball is even 1" away from the putter face...My grip pressure is almost half of what it used to be and everything feels more fluid. Just wow, hard to believe nobody thought of this sooner! I couldn't agree with what you said more Ben, Best putter grip in golf hands down no contest.

Edit: within an hour of installing it I was hooked, I stood a pack of cigarettes up 15ft away in the hallway and knocked it over 10x in a row. O_O.
[/quote]Again, I second those comments. Grip pressure is way down and feel way up! Big fan in case you hadn't noticed BB

For all you interested Bettinardi HO's I just noticed on the website that Saltys are available, that's sweet! BB

Thanks for the heads up just saw that now. I use their midsize gripmaster stitchback on my current putter and like the feel, wondering what a Salty would feel like kind of scared to pull the trigger.. also rlheiman- is it good to have those small indentations after 25-30 times?

[rlheiman]

The indentations are tiny, tiny. barely visible to the eye, but you can feel them with your hands. It is not a bad thing, not like a Birkenstock or memory foam by any means. Much less indentation than a leather grip or rubber grip. It is great because it is not the same kind of grip wear like other grips, just a tiny compression. But you can sand it out and get the grip completely smooth and fresh again.

Just ordered one of these grips. Can´t wait to test it out on my (ironically) Superstroke putter. You guys still enjoying the grip?

[vinny_land]

Interested to see how well these hold up. Kinda want to add one to my newly refinished manganese bronze Ping Anser. Having similar colors would look totally cool. At $35 a grip...its on the high side. *sighs* Guess you gotta pay to be different on the course. I bet nobody in my area has these yet...

[rouski12]

I just ordered mine. They have amazing customer service, can't speak highly enough about them. Spoke with both representatives and they were both very helpful. Can't wait to try one of these out.

[Big Ben]

I've had mine gripped for a while now and I'm not noticing any wear, yes I'm personally loving both models actually. The real advantage for me is the added feel and swing weight, I play 33' putters and the heads usually feel light regardless of head weight.

[Froth]

No wear I can see at all, and I've been handling the hell out of this thing. I was concerned with other grips hitting it in the bag possibly damaging/chunking it but this thing holds up great. First time in a long time without a 3-putt today, I thank the Salty for this 100%.

I purchased one of these grips (midsize) and installed it. I did not like the feel of it, texture or size wise. Coming from a Super Stroke Ultra Slim 1.0, it felt way to smooth (not tacky at all) and way to big. I'm sure it may work for a lot of people and it seemed to be made well, it just wasn't for me...

[fr0sty]

Received my grip the other day and will have it installed tomorrow. Looks and feels great from the packaging, we'll see how it performs next week.

You expected cork to be tacky? idk this seems like a troll type of post to me. I also just snagged one of these Salty grips with my nickname engraved to replace my Superstroke ultra slim 1.0 and this thing is awesome. unfortunately i have to wait until Monday to tear up the course. Looking forward to it.

Just received my Salty grips (ordered two) Shipped real quick, included some stickers and beverage koozie as well as a handwritten note from Mark. Nice touch.
Initial impression, great feel, very light and well made. I currently use mid size Winn grip so these do seem large to me.

Had one installed on the flatstick and headed to the course to test it out.
Once I got on the green I noticed the guy who installed it did not follow the instructions properly and failed to add the double wrap of tape on the bottom of the grip where the shaft tapers so there was a slight amount of play. Nothing too serious and did not effect the stroke but I just slide in some strips of my business card and this tightened it up.

Grip feels amazing. Soft and smooth which immediately gave me a lighter grip pressure and I was stroking it quite well, maybe even a little too light as I was coming up short a few times on the practice green. Greens could have been rolling slower in afternoon too.
Larger grip feels good and don't see any issue getting used to it.
Hope to get a few games in this week to give it a full test but honestly don't ever see myself going back to a rubber grip!
I love the cork! <------ snl skit
Stay Salty

Alright guys time for my update. I've had a bit of time to adjust to the new Salty grip and it's a keeper! I can't say that the performance is significantly better than my previous superstroke grip but it does feel and look much better. As discussed previously it does alter the feel of the putter a little bit but you'll get used to it. The grip looks incredible and I've gotten a lot of comments about my putter the past couple of days. I'll throw up some pictures when I get home. I'm very pleased with the grip and service from Salty (personal thank you in the package was a great touch, thanks Mark!).

[RookieBlue7]

Where are you all seeing different sizes available and what would you compare the sizes to? Considering ordering one for the Nead Copper Mini I have that should arrive today.

[Froth]

I've got 8 Rounds and a good 30+ hours of putting practice on my Salty now, It's getting better and better every day! My thumbs have formed a very very small indent in the grip that makes it almost idiot proof to have the exact same hold on the club.

Honeymoon period is over, I still love this grip. Buy em.

[rouski12]

Installed and used mine for the first time yesterday. No three putts on fast greens and made quite a few including a 50-footer over a ridge. I think it's a keeper. I'd like to see them make a headcover! Now if I could only find a fairway.

I live in Hilton Head SC and was in the Harbour Town Golf Club for lunch a couple days ago and went in to the Pro Shop to poke around. While checking out their putters I noticed they had 2 putters with these Salty Grip on them. When I grabbed them, something just "clicked" with the way it felt in my hands. Stroked some putts and fell in love with this grip.
I'll be placing an order soon to try on my gamer. Cork grip.......................great idea!

[Froth]

Just Ordered another one for a new Putter I picked up, Salty for life.

[kess13]

I just placed my order for a custom grip but I had an issue with the order (which turned out to be my error). I emailed them about it and with in 10 minutes Mark called me to work it out at 8:30pm on a Saturday night!! What AWESOME customer service! After talking to him for a bit we found out I had put my Zip in wrong which caused the error, woops. But, honestly, I'm glad I did because I am very impressed with the service. He let me know that they will have a new website up soon, are going beyond the 12 letter limit and can scribe vertically for the customs. He said he'd get it out tonight for the customization and I'll have it this week. I still need to try the grip to see if I like it but these guys are awesome and I'm happy to support a growing company that looks after its customers. If the grip is half as cool as they are then "Salty for Life".

Man, I have one of the old style super strokes (kind of heavy) on my oilcan newport 2, and after reading this thread I am dying to order one of these. I think the feel of the putter would improve and the grip just looks like pure class.

[tangojay]

How is it for people with sweaty hands? I play where it gets a bit warm and humid sometimes,,,,, does moisture do anything to it?

[RookieBlue7]

I'd like to know the difference in the 3 sizes? What they compare to?

[/quote]They are sealed I believe so moisture is fine, you will notice your grip pressure really relax so sweaty hads should be no problem...BB

I took 13 putts on my front nine today, and 21 on the back 9. OUCH! The back nine forced me order one of these. I hope to have it on by next next weekend's round.

[Big Ben]

Expect to LOVE IT! I've said this already, this grip is a game changer in my humble opinion...BB

[rouski12]

Yeah everyone should own one of these. I actually had to make myself take a firmer grip because I was too relaxed. It has really changed my game and confidence.

[straightedge]

Did you guys install these yourself? I have put on a variety of grips in my life, but the fragility of this one (and the expense) has me nervous about a DIY job.
