The Winn Dri-Tac LT (Less Taper) is a golf grip engineered specifically for players who want more substance in the lower hand area without sizing up to a midsize grip. Its reduced taper geometry delivers a larger lower-hand diameter compared to a standard tapered grip, promoting lighter grip pressure, better club control, and reduced hand and wrist fatigue over the course of a round. Suitable for irons, hybrids, and woods, the Dri-Tac LT Standard in black/grey combines Winn's proven polymer cushioning with a modern, ergonomic shape that is especially welcome for golfers managing arthritis or hand discomfort.
Where a conventional grip tapers steadily from the top hand down to the trailing hand, the Dri-Tac LT maintains a more consistent, larger diameter through the lower portion of the grip. This means your trailing hand sits on a fuller, rounder surface rather than a pinched, narrow one. The practical result is that you do not need to squeeze as hard to keep control of the club — grip pressure drops naturally, tension leaves the forearms, and your swing becomes freer and more fluid. Players who are between standard and midsize in terms of hand size also find the LT profile an ideal compromise without the full weight penalty of a midsize grip.
At the core of every Winn Dri-Tac grip is the brand's proprietary polymer compound — a soft, pliable material that is fundamentally different from the rubber used in traditional grips. The polymer absorbs impact vibration at the moment of ball contact, significantly reducing the jarring sensation that travels up the shaft and into the hands. Over eighteen holes, this translates to measurably less hand and wrist fatigue. The same cushioned feel that has made the Dri-Tac series Winn's most popular grip line is fully present in the LT version, delivering comfort without sacrificing the tactile feedback that serious golfers require.
Winn pioneered the use of polymer in golf grips precisely because polymer outperforms rubber in wet-weather traction. The Dri-Tac surface remains soft and tacky whether your hands are dry, sweaty, or damp from morning dew. The moderate surface texture enhances grip security further, creating a connection between hand and club that stays consistent from the first tee to the eighteenth green. Unlike cord or half-cord grips that rely on abrasion for traction, the Dri-Tac LT works in harmony with your natural hand moisture — no glove required, though one can of course still be used.
The LT concept was developed with a clear player need in mind: golfers who suffer from arthritis, tendinitis, post-surgery stiffness, or general hand weakness often find standard tapered grips uncomfortable because the narrow lower section forces the trailing fingers to grip tighter than is ideal. By expanding the lower diameter, the Dri-Tac LT distributes contact pressure more evenly across the fingers and palm, reducing the localised stress that aggravates joint pain. Many players with arthritis report that switching to a less-tapered grip allows them to continue playing comfortably for far longer than they could with conventional grip shapes.
