The Winn Excel Soft in Ladies/Undersize is one of the most iconic and enduring grip designs in golf — a timeless bestseller that has earned its place on the bags of countless golfers worldwide. Built from Winn's proprietary Excel polymer material, it delivers an exceptionally soft and cushioned feel combined with a noticeably tacky surface, making it the grip of choice for players who prioritise comfort and control. Whether you are new to the game or a seasoned golfer looking to reduce hand fatigue, the Excel Soft Ladies is the grip that started it all for Winn and continues to set the standard today.
The Excel Series is built on Winn's original and proprietary Excel polymer compound — the same groundbreaking material that established Winn as the pioneer of synthetic polymer golf grips. Unlike traditional rubber grips, this uniquely formulated polymer achieves a wide spectrum of firmnesses without sacrificing tackiness, resulting in a surface that feels plush and secure from the very first swing. The material maintains its high-friction characteristics in dry conditions, ensuring that the club stays firmly in your hands throughout the swing without requiring a tight, tension-inducing grip pressure. It is this polymer formula that has kept the Excel Series as Winn's longest-running and best-selling grip line for decades.
The defining visual and functional feature of the Excel Soft is its spiral wrap construction — a helical pattern that winds continuously around the grip body from top to butt, closely mimicking the look and feel of a traditional hand-stitched leather wrap. The perforations woven into the spiral pattern provide a subtle texture that allows natural finger placement without the abrasive roughness of cord or aggressive texture grips. This design actively prevents the club from rotating in the hand during the swing, reducing the tendency to over-grip and helping you maintain a relaxed, tension-free hold that promotes better tempo and a more consistent ball strike.
One of the standout attributes of the Winn Excel Soft is its remarkable ability to absorb and dissipate the impact energy and vibrations that travel up the shaft on every shot. The inherently compliant nature of the Excel polymer acts as a natural buffer between the club and your hands, significantly reducing the jarring sensation felt on mis-hits and on shots played from hard ground. This makes the Excel Soft Ladies particularly popular among golfers who suffer from arthritis, hand fatigue, or joint sensitivity, as it allows longer, more comfortable practice sessions and rounds. The dampening effect also contributes to a more refined feedback feel — you sense the quality of the strike without the harsh buzz that harder grips often transmit.
The Ladies/Undersize version of the Excel Soft is specifically proportioned with a reduced outside diameter of undersize (−1/32″) relative to a standard grip, making it the ideal fit for golfers with smaller hands. A correctly sized grip is one of the most important — and most often overlooked — factors in club performance: when the grip is too large, it restricts the natural release of the hands through impact; when it is too small, it can cause the hands to become overly active. The undersize diameter of this grip encourages a lighter, more relaxed grip pressure, which in turn promotes a smoother swing tempo, improved accuracy, and reduced muscle tension through the hands, wrists, and forearms over the course of a round.
