Hi I’m Matt Lockey, welcome to my Coach Lockey YouTube Channel. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, and to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf course vlogs, golf challenges, golf tips, golf lessons, golf club reviews and the odd golf club unboxing. So pretty much everything golf!
I want to help you play better golf by providing coaching videos on all topics about golf. How to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
As well as helping you produce the best long game you can have, I will help you lower your scores by chipping better, stopping duff and thin chips, pitching the ball closer and creating backspin like the tour pros. Finally, I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts too!

I hit 1,000 golf balls and we be using this bit of golf equipment forever possibly no joke over two days I tested this brand new bit of golf equipment and the results are Bonkers now my YouTube channel is more about golf lessons and golf tips to help you improve your golf
But when I heard about this new bit of golf equipment that they’re saying can improve performance I ha to test it technology that stabilizes both hands for a more Square Club face and impact what is this new bit of golf equipment you ask it is the new Golf
Pride reverse taper poter grips so in this video I’m going to talk you through the new reverse taper putter grips from Golf Pride their technology I’m going to show you the test that I did hitting a th000 putts and the test results to see if these new Putters from goldf Pride
Can actually help your golf swing or p and stroke even first up the technology so what are Golf Pride saying it’s a neverbe seen shape with a larger lower hand reverse taper made to optimize both hands in the putting stroke no matter what your putting style the testing
Carried out by Golf Pride showed that reverse first tapered grips and there’s three different shape styles did a better job at delivering the face square at impact more consistently when compared to parallel grips the thicker lower hand on the taper grips is designed to reduce tension in the lower
Hand while still providing feel and feedback to the golfer the grips have soft feel with enhanced tacky texture dimple patterns throughout the grip and as I mentioned the reverse taper comes in three distinct shapes and two sizes the pistol the round and the flat are the shapes and they come in medium or
Large with each shape the grips are made out of polyurethane material so that each grip doesn’t exceed 70 G in weight so can these putter grips actually help your stroke your golf to lower those scores well I’ve tested it and like I said I’ve hit hundreds if not a, golf
Putts to test these grips and the results are crazy let’s talk you through my putter test and then we’ll get to the results to see which pter grip has won in the comments down below which one do you think will perform the best will they all perform the same cuz they are
All meant to improve face control or will my original putter grip perform better than any of them let’s find out so how did I perform the test first up I took over my son’s Nursery sorry buddy my office just isn’t big enough I used
My 10t poat out mat and I rented a sand putt lab which is basically a launch monitor for putting it’s going to be telling you your face to path it’s going to tell you where you strike it on the face your path angles attack you name it
With sand putt lab you have to hit your putt from the same spot every time so throughout the test I was constantly checking that I was hitting it from the same spot via this little Rod that comes out and I popped across where my ball
Had to be sitting I also set up sand put lab with a laser to make sure that I was aiming at something precisely every time and that was my put out pressure trainer I lasered it to the middle of that put out trainer so I knew that I had to be
Aiming at that every time now if I had endless resources I would have got four Putters exactly the same and put all four different grips on each Putter and then hit five putts with one then another then another but unfortunately I don’t have four ai1 6t Ps so I had to do
One grip at a time but throughout the test I stopped after 10 puts took a rest came back started again took a rest came back started again so I didn’t get in a rhythm of aiming in the same spot repeating and I also went and picked up
My ball after each part so I wasn’t just dragging a ball over to the same spot standing in the same spot repeating be in my stroke I actually physically went and picked up my ball came back set up again lined up again and hit individually I started to test with my
Own Odyssey grip it’s pretty round and quite fat because I’m a prayer gripper so I have both hands pretty level with each other so I’m basically doing that to improve my face controls I’ve got a slightly fatter putter grip to help with my grip to improve my face control so if
These reverse taper putter grips do improve I will be amazed because I’m trying to do everything I can to gain face control once I was all set up and ready to go hit 10 putts input the data into a spreadsheet for my statman same thing repeat repeat repeat until i’ done
200 250 putts with each putter with the first batch of putts finished with my own grip means it’s time to take off that grip and put one of the new reverse taper Golf Pride grips on and I chose the pistol because it looked and it felt
When I just picked it up and put it in my hands the most different compared to what I’m used to and as I went through the test hitting my next batch of putts this grip felt unbelievable it sat nicely in both of my hands so my lead hand the grip touches
My palm and the sort of flat side to the reverse taper at the top made it feel so sturdy and felt like I had complete control of the Putter and the bottom fingers which I have down my putter grip also could really feel that reverse taper I literally wanted to keep that
Grip on and be done with it I was so happy and I’m such a feel and looks based player that I just I I wanted to use it but this is a big test so on to the next one the next putter grip I tried was the flat reverse taper now
This should be the perfect grip for the way I hold the putter it’s designed for Palm to Palm grips like the prayer grip but it just didn’t feel as solid as the pistol the reverse taper felt too extreme on this one so it was too thin
At the top compared to the bottom which made my sort of hands feel like I didn’t have grip of the grip and it put loads of pressure on my fingers which are down the shaft or down the grip it just felt too extreme if the reverse taper was a
Little bit calmer at the bottom and it evened out that pressure on my hands I probably would have liked it a little bit more and it was also interesting it was definitely the putter that I seem to struggle with getting the ball to the hole I seem to be picking up balls short
Short short all the time and I don’t know if that was because of what I was feeling in my hand hands with that pressure at the top and it all being in my fingers and with that batch completed that leaves us with one grip to go the
Round grip the round grip felt very similar to my own which I would have expected it’s a very similar shape but it has the bigger taper at the bottom obviously and because it so similar it felt very comfortable and felt like I was used to it straight from the off the
Pressure felt very even throughout the whole of the grip and I was just super comfortable from the off throughout the whole of the test with this grip so all three grips tested and if I was just to pick one without looking at any numbers and data I would 100% take the pistol it
Felt incredible in my hands in that lead hand just it tucking up the Palm here in this bit it just felt really really nice and solid but do the numbers tell me the same thing will I be using the pistol will I be going back to my own grip will
I be using the round or the flat should we take a look at the data with the data I collected five data points face aim where that putter is aimed at address in relationship to my target face at impact same thing but where is that face pointing in relationship to the Target
When I hit the golf ball the path of my stroke into out out to in where I strike that ball on the club face and finally the big one face to path will the reverse taper be better than my standard grip at controlling that club face my statman has kindly done some beautiful
Grass for us to look at but we’re not going to look at them for long because he’s also done a table which ranks each putter grip from closest to zero to furthest away from zero which in theory if you get all of them as close to zero as possible with one grip you’re
Probably going to start that ball in the right direction if you do want to have a look at the graphs though they’re here and each one is basically showing you all the putts that I hit the dot in the middle is the mean or the average and
Then the lines coming off of that dot is the standard deviations which grip is going to be the winner here we go so let’s take a look at face aim to start with and the flat reverse taper has come out on top it is lining me up at a dress
The most consistently in line with my target it’s not zero we can give you the averages in a second as well but this isn’t saying that flat is zero it’s not it’s slightly off zero in one way or the other but this is basically just tbling
How close each one is to that 0.4 that bit of data so the flat wins face aim and my stand is the worst no moving on to face at impact flat wins again it is returning that putter face in line with my target on average the
Closest to no and again my standard grip is losing oh my goodness perhaps what they are saying is right these grips are good pter paff the round grip is top of the pops on that one giving me the on average straightest and closest path to
N which then in turn has also given me the best impact spot and you’ll see in a minute when I put the averages up my stroke generally my path is out to win I hit the ball off the toe I have an open face to my path and my aim is generally
Down the left as well well so with each one of these reverse tapers giving me that strike closer to the middle of the putter is going to hopefully help me with face control and distance control and other aspects of putting which you want and finally the big one face to
Path control and the winner is the round grip pistol in second standard isn’t bottom for once and flat is the worst so so looking at the table the round wins and that doesn’t surprise me because it’s very similar style to my putter I was kind of putting in my hands and
Thinking yeah that feels nice but is it the fact that it’s now a reverse taper and wider at the bottom compared to mine giving me that extra control of face the path of that impact factors and impact spot sorry and path which is going to hopefully help me start that ball online
More often and maybe give me a bit more distance control I must admit I still wish that the pistol grip would have won let me know in the comments down below are these grips something that you’re going to go and try and put on your putter to try and help your Strokes your
Face control your start directions to lower your scores hold more putts and maybe stop free putting as often let me know in the comments down below thanks everyone for watching and a little reminder if you’re not subscribed to the channel already hit that big red subscribe button hit the thumbs up as

How do we know which one to use with going through all that Malarkey?
Probably, I will try this grip. Unsure of which to pick. I have several putters, one has a Super stroke that I like the least so that would be the evaluation club.
I would love to try these grips,but it seems you have to buy 4 of them to achieve the results 🤔🤯🥴😊👊🏻
Which of these grips or other grip sizes and styles in your experience would best suit a claw grip style?
Execellent review, appreciate how much time and effort you put into the testing. Keep up the good work.
Love the shoes , but i want the cap !!! 😂😂 nice vlog matt !
willing to try anything :)… I don't use any measuring for putting, I only use the travel of the ball and my hand feel. I'm (pure ego here) I am a great putter. Love putting!!! Anywhere on the green!!! I don't know if my path is "right" or if my face angle is correct, or any of that. I've reached a point where I zen out over the putt once I've picked aim, line, break, distance…just rock back and forth and hit it. I get great results, so I don't question it. I'm working on a similar "out of my mind" stroke for all my clubs…cause that's how I think the game should be played.
Pistol
I use a non taper different brand, I like the thicker low hand, makes a big difference!! Cheers Coach!!
