Golf Pride launches new Pro Only cord putter grips
Golf Pride is expanding its popular Pro Only line of putter grips by introducing the new cord series, featuring the same popular grip profiles as the standard Pro Only series but with cord for improved tour-level feedback.
This release allows Golf Pride to build on the trusted shapes and sizes introduced in 2019 that offer golfers of all skill levels better feedback and improved feel which leads to better distance control and consistency according to Golf Pride’s player testing.
“The most consistent players on the green, understand the importance of feel and its connection to a successful putting stroke. The Pro Only family really facilitates players realizing improved feel and feedback in their putting, allowing them to roll the ball with better speed control and more confidence. With Pro Only Cord, we have maximized those attributes, with our cord technology delivering even greater levels of tactile feedback with every stroke.”
-Bruce Miller, product manager, Golf Pride.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

I’d play a grip that says ‘fluffy bunny’ on it if it helped me putt better. Not my fault the company puts ‘pro only’ on it.
