The Golf Pride Pro Only Red Star is a modern, standard-sized putter grip engineered for golfers who want tour-level feedback, precise hand placement, and a confident feel on every putt. Built with a firmer, optimised rubber compound, this 72cc pistol-style grip forms to the natural contours of your hands and creates a closer connection between your palms and the putter head — giving you the sensitivity you need to control both distance and face angle.
The Pro Only collection comes in three distinct profiles and volumes — Red Star (72cc), Blue Star (81cc) and Green Star (88cc) — allowing golfers and club fitters to select exactly the right shape and size for their individual stroke and hand geometry. The Red Star is the smallest and most traditional of the trio, favoured by tour players who prioritise direct, unfiltered feedback at impact.
Among tour professionals, the smaller pistol-shape putter grip remains the single most popular and successful style on tour. The Red Star replicates this proven geometry exactly — a classic taper from butt to tip with a defined kick at the rear that naturally anchors the heel pad of the upper hand. This consistent hand placement removes variables from your setup, so your eyes, shoulders and stroke all align more reliably. The result is a grip that feels immediately familiar to any golfer who has used traditional putter grips, yet with modern manufacturing precision behind every contour.
The front face of the Red Star features a carefully engineered arched paddle surface designed specifically for thumb placement. Rather than a flat or rounded front, the arch creates a natural resting channel that guides your thumbs into the same position every time you address the ball. Consistent thumb placement is one of the most overlooked fundamentals in putting — when your thumbs land in the same spot, the putter face returns to square more reliably and your stroke path becomes more repeatable. This is a detail refined through extensive feedback from tour-level players.
Golf Pride engineered the Pro Only series with a firmer, optimised rubber compound specifically to enhance the sensory feedback that reaches your hands at impact. Softer grips absorb vibration — which can feel comfortable but masks the quality of the strike. The firmer material in the Red Star transmits those vibrations more directly, allowing you to distinguish a pure centre strike from a toe or heel miss in real time. For golfers focused on distance control and face awareness, this heightened sensitivity translates directly into tighter dispersion and lower scores on the greens.
The Pro Only collection is engineered as a complete fitting system rather than a one-size solution. The Red Star at 72cc is the most compact option, suited to players with smaller hands or those who prefer minimal interference with wrist hinge during the stroke. The Blue Star (81cc) offers a mid-volume angled back profile for finger-locking stability, while the Green Star (88cc) provides the largest oval back shape for maximum hand comfort and reduced grip pressure. Choosing the correct volume has a measurable impact on stroke tempo, face rotation and overall putting consistency.

Replacing the grip on your putter is one of the highest-value upgrades available to any golfer. As grips age, they lose their surface texture, firmness and feedback characteristics — meaning you may be compensating for a worn grip without even realising it. Fitting the correct grip profile and volume to your hand size and stroke type can measurably improve your putting consistency. The Pro Only Red Star, with its precise pistol shape and firm rubber blend, is particularly well suited to golfers transitioning from a generic grip to a tour-specification model for the first time.
