Your putter is the club you use most in a round, yet the grip is often the last thing you think about changing. A new range from P2 Grips makes a strong case for reconsidering that.
The putter contributes to somewhere between 30 and 40 per cent of your total shots in a round — a figure that puts it well ahead of any other club in the bag. Despite that, most golfers stick with whatever grip came fitted as standard and never give it a second thought.
P2 Grips has built a reputation on challenging that habit. The brand’s Face-Square Technology, which is patented and present across its entire range, works by optimising wrist position and limiting excessive wrist movement during the putting stroke. The effect, as testing by sports analytics company Quintic Sports has shown, is measurably more consistent putter face control at impact — with some participants showing improvements of up to 70 per cent in specific performance metrics.
That is not just a data-point for the serious golfer. Steadier wrist action translates into a stroke that feels easier to repeat, better tempo, and more natural feedback on the greens. For anyone who has ever watched a good putt deteriorate mid-round without understanding why, that kind of stability is worth knowing about
Three new options for 2026
P2 has added three models to its range for the 2026 season, each designed to suit a different preference in shape and feel, while delivering the same core performance benefit.
Vibe Tour (£24.99) — A round, non-tapered profile with a flat front: familiar in the hand for golfers accustomed to a traditional grip shape, with the added wrist-stabilising effect of Face-Square Technology. Available in black, grey and white. Weight: 60g.
Vibe Max (£29.99) — P2’s first extended-length grip, measuring 14 inches. The extra length and heavier 82g construction create a counterbalanced feel that naturally steadies the stroke. Available in black only, and worth considering for anyone who putts with a more anchored style.
Touch Pro+ (£24.99) — A pistol-shaped grip for those who prefer a more conventional profile. The textured outer layer improves comfort and security over a standard pistol design without changing the fundamental feel. Available in black, grey and white. Weight: 70g.
Finding the right fit
Beyond the new arrivals, P2’s full range runs to nine styles across the Aware Tour, Classic Tour, React Tour, Reflex Tour and Touch Tour, each with its own shape and profile. That breadth matters: the right grip is not a universal prescription but something personal, determined by how you hold the club, what your stroke tendency is, and simply what feels comfortable in your hands.
If you have not changed your putter grip since you bought the club, it is probably due an upgrade on grounds of wear alone. These new models give a sensible moment to think more carefully about shape and weight while you are at it.
UK & US:– The Vibe Tour, Vibe Max and Touch Pro+ are all available now in stores and online at P2Grips.
