The Golf Pride Pro Only Cord Red Star is a tour-proven pistol-style putter grip built for golfers who demand maximum feedback and a firmer, more responsive feel at address. A firm rubber blend combined with full cotton cord delivers maximum feedback and more control on every putting stroke, in all conditions. The 72 cc Red Star is the smallest size and most traditional pistol shape in the Pro Only Cord range, featuring an arched paddle front for precise thumb placement. With its contoured front section and subtle heel pad, this grip encourages natural, repeatable hand positioning from address through impact — giving every golfer greater confidence on the greens.
Among Tour players, smaller pistol-shape putter grips are still the most popular and winningest style. The smaller profile of this series allows the hands to feel more connected to the shaft, promoting a heightened feel that is essential in feedback upon impact. The Pro Only Cord Red Star is part of a three-model family — Red Star, Blue Star, and Green Star — each offering a distinct shape and volume to suit different putting styles and hand sizes.
The Pro Only Cord series features Brushed Cotton Cord for Golf Pride's firmest, most responsive putter grips. This cord material is woven throughout the entire grip surface, engaging both the glove and the bare hand with a noticeably grippier, more tactile feel than standard all-rubber putter grips. PRO ONLY Cord grips are firmer with a combination of rubber and cord, delivering increased feedback and a firmer feel compared to the all-rubber Pro Only counterpart. Golfers who play in humid or wet conditions will find the cord surface maintains reliable traction and grip consistency stroke after stroke, eliminating any tendency for the hands to slip at impact. The result is a more stable, controlled putting motion from address through the finish.
A firm rubber blend combined with full cotton cord provides maximum feedback and more control on every putting stroke, in all conditions. The stiffer construction in a modern standard-size profile transmits every subtlety of the stroke directly to the hands, creating a heightened feedback loop that helps players self-correct more quickly and develop a more repeatable motion. The firmer material reduces unwanted grip twist at impact, keeping the putter face square through the ball for more consistent distance control and direction. The thin profile of the grip is ideal for the golfer who wants their hands to truly feel the strike of the putt, making it a favourite among touch-oriented players and tour professionals alike.
The 72 cc Red Star features the most traditional pistol shape in the range, with an arched paddle front for thumb placement. This gently contoured front section cradles both thumbs in a natural, repeatable position, encouraging proper hand placement at address and helping synchronise both thumbs along the same plane. Maintaining both thumbs on the same plane is critical for keeping the putter face square throughout the stroke, particularly for golfers who favour a straight-back, straight-through putting style. The arched front provides a consistent tactile reference point every time the grip is taken, reducing pre-stroke variability and promoting a more reliable, confidence-inspiring setup.
A subtle raised pad at the lower portion of the grip guides the heel of the lead hand into a consistent, neutral position at address. This ergonomic feature reduces unwanted rotation in the wrist and promotes a neutral wrist angle throughout the entire putting stroke — from takeaway through impact and follow-through. It is particularly beneficial for golfers who have previously struggled with grip drift during the stroke, or who are working to eliminate wrist breakdown and excessive hand action. Combined with the arched paddle front, the heel pad makes the Red Star one of the most position-specific and stroke-repeating grips in the Golf Pride putter range, offering both physical feedback and a reliable anchor point for the hands.
Among Tour players, smaller, pistol-shape putter grips are still the most popular and winningest style. The Pro Only Cord family is offered in three distinct pistol shapes to give every golfer a precise fit: the 72 cc Red Star with its traditional arched paddle front, the 81 cc Blue Star with an angled back shape that locks in hand placement and a wider paddle front, and the 88 cc Green Star with a rounded oval-back shape and slightly arched paddle front for added comfort and precision. Choosing the right volume and shape ensures the grip complements the player's hand size, grip style, and preferred level of wrist engagement — all critical variables in building a consistent putting stroke.
Golf Pride's Pro Only designs are tour-proven, trusted by the world's best players. The Pro Only Cord builds on this heritage by adding the firm, reactive cord texture that many tour-level putters prefer when seeking maximum control of the stroke. Golf Pride's PRO ONLY putter grips are available in both all-rubber and cord variants, so golfers can choose the feel profile that best matches their game — with the Cord version consistently delivering firmer, more responsive performance for players who demand elite-level feedback on every green. The grey colourway of this 72 cc Red Star model offers a clean, understated aesthetic that complements virtually any putter head finish.
