The Winn Excel WinnProX 1.18" is a premium midsize-plus putter grip engineered for golfers who want greater stroke consistency and a softer, more connected feel at address. Sitting slightly larger than a standard Winn Midsize putter grip, it uses Winn's own tacky Excel polymer compound — the same material trusted by tour professionals and serious amateurs worldwide. The paddle-style, reduced-taper profile works to quiet the hands and wrists, promoting a more pendulum-like, shoulder-driven stroke. If you have been battling inconsistency on the greens, swapping to the WinnProX 1.18" is one of the most effective and affordable upgrades you can make to your putter.
Winn pioneered the use of polymer compounds in golf grips and the Excel material at the heart of the WinnProX 1.18" represents the pinnacle of that expertise. The polymer surface is uniquely tacky, locking the hands securely to the grip without the need for excessive grip pressure. Reduced tension in the hands and forearms translates directly into a smoother, more fluid putting stroke. The material also absorbs vibration efficiently, providing clear, honest feedback on strike quality without harshness.
The defining characteristic of the WinnProX is its paddle-style cross-section, which features significantly less taper than a traditional pistol-shaped putter grip. This geometry naturally encourages both hands to sit in the same plane, reducing the tendency for the wrists to rotate or break down through impact. The result is a more mechanically stable stroke that relies on the larger muscles of the shoulders and arms rather than the unpredictable small muscles of the wrists. Golfers who struggle with the yips or with inconsistent face angle at impact will find the paddle profile particularly beneficial.
WinnLite Technology is Winn's proprietary approach to grip construction that minimises overall weight without sacrificing structural integrity or feel. By reducing the mass at the top of the club, WinnLite effectively shifts the swing weight towards the putter head, making the head feel more present and responsive during the stroke. This heightened clubhead awareness makes it easier to control distance and square the face consistently at impact. The result is a grip that feels lively and connected rather than dead or inert.
The surface of the WinnProX 1.18" features a carefully engineered staggered tread pattern that maximises the contact area between the grip and the palms and fingers. Unlike smooth polymer surfaces that can become slippery in humid or wet conditions, the tread channels moisture away from the contact zone and maintains consistent grip pressure throughout the round. The texture is firm enough to provide reliable traction yet soft enough to avoid irritating the skin during extended practice sessions on the putting green.
