Still hanging onto grips that are shinier than your golf shoes? Time to sort that out.

Our new TRX Comfort grips join the classic ParShark CTRL range, giving you two options for freshening up your clubs. Choosing between them comes down to two things: the thickness you prefer and the feel you want in your hands.

Here’s how to find your match.

TRX vs CTRL at a glance

First, choose your feel

TRX Comfort: soft feel, secure hold

If you like a little cushioning between your hands and the club, TRX Comfort is worth a look.

Its soft TPE construction delivers a comfortable feel, while the textured wrap-style surface provides dependable traction. You get a traditional wrap-inspired pattern in a fitted grip, with no wrapping required.

Choose TRX Comfort if you:

• Prefer a soft, cushioned grip.

• Like a wrap-style surface.

• Find corded textures too coarse for your liking.

• Want a choice of standard or midsize.

Classic CTRL: firm feel, dependable traction

Our classic CTRL grips suit golfers who like a firmer connection to the club and a more pronounced surface texture.

The dual-compound design combines a corded upper section with a different texture below, giving you secure traction and a controlled feel. CTRL is a good option for dewy mornings, sweaty hands and changing NZ conditions.

Choose CTRL if you:

• Prefer a firm, responsive grip.

• Like the traction of a corded upper section.

• Regularly play in damp conditions.

• Want a fuller midsize profile.

• Already enjoy your CTRL grips and want that familiar feel.

Next, choose your size

Grip size is about how the club sits in your hands. Standard offers a slimmer profile, midsize gives you more to hold onto, and jumbo takes that thickness up another step.

Your glove size can help narrow down the options.

These are general starting points based on Golf Pride’s glove-sizing guide, rather than an exact ParShark fit chart. Glove fit and personal preference vary.

If your current grips feel comfortable, use that as your starting point. If standard grips feel too skinny, consider midsize. If midsize still doesn’t give you enough to hold onto, check out the ParShark XLT Jumbo range.

Which grips sound like you?

“I like my current grip thickness, but I want something softer.”

Choose TRX Comfort Standard if you currently use standard grips. You’ll get a familiar, slimmer profile with a soft, cushioned feel and wrap-style traction.

“Standard grips feel too skinny, but I don’t like coarse grips.”

Choose TRX Comfort Midsize. You get a fuller grip in your hands while keeping that cushioned comfort.

“I like a firm grip with plenty of texture.”

Choose CTRL Midsize. Its corded upper section and firmer feel suit golfers who prioritise traction and a connected feel, particularly with damp or sweaty hands.

“I’ve got big hands and want a properly substantial grip.”

Check out ParShark XLT Jumbo grips. They’re the next option to consider if midsize feels too small or you simply prefer a thicker grip.

“I already love my CTRL grips. Should I change?”

Only if you want a different feel. TRX adds a softer option to the range. If CTRL already feels right, stick with what works.

Freshen up the set at home

TRX and CTRL are available in 13-grip regripping packs with double-sided grip tape, a hook blade and a rubber vice clamp. They suit drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons and wedges.

You’ll also need suitable grip solvent, which isn’t included.

Pick your size. Pick your feel. Give those tired old grips their marching orders.
