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."

Garsen Core Pack Garsen Core Pack
Garsen Core Pack $109.00 CAD $137.97 CAD
The MOST Innovative Putter Grips on Tour Wondering which Garsen putter grip is right for you? The Garsen Core pack includes three grips, each featuring a unique profile designed with Tour feedback to make you a better putter. All our putter grips are designed with one thing in mind: to get your arms, hands, and body in the best putting position every single time for ultimate consistency. The Max is our most unique design with a 45 degree angle down the front to keep your thumbs parallel to each other and wrists locked, minimizing variations in your putting stroke. The Ultimate takes the shape of the Max but provides a flat surface on the front and has a more "oversized" grip feel. The Quad Tour is a trapezoid shape with no rounded surfaces for those who like the putter to sit more in the fingertips and have a direct visual to putter head rotation.

MAX MAX
MAX $45.99 CAD
“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?
