The WinnPro X 1.60" is Winn's largest-diameter putter grip and the flagship of the Excel WinnPro X family. Designed for golfers who want to take their wrists almost entirely out of the putting stroke, its extreme oversize profile and minimally tapered shape work together to promote a pure shoulder-driven pendulum motion. The result is a more repeatable, confident stroke from tee to hole — exactly what your short game needs. Crafted from Winn's signature Excel tacky polymer compound, the grip delivers outstanding feel and all-weather traction in a sleek grey-and-silver colour scheme.
At 1.60 inches in diameter, the WinnPro X is the largest grip in the WinnPro X family — equivalent in size to a SuperStroke Tour 5.0. This extreme oversize cross-section fills the palms completely, encouraging golfers to use a light, even grip pressure rather than squeezing with the fingers. The result is a calmer, more tension-free address position that sets up a smooth, repeatable pendulum stroke. Golfers who struggle with over-active hands or inconsistent face control at impact will notice an immediate improvement in directional consistency.
Unlike conventional putter grips that narrow significantly from top to bottom, the WinnPro X 1.60" uses a near-parallel profile with only minimal taper. This geometry means both hands experience almost the same grip diameter, which naturally inhibits wrist rotation and breakdown through impact. Tour-proven research shows that reducing wrist involvement during the putting stroke directly improves face angle at impact, leading to fewer missed putts left or right. This grip effectively works as a passive training aid as well as a performance grip.
Winn pioneered polymer golf grips and has continued to refine its compounds over decades. The Excel polymer used in this grip is formulated to be slip-resistant in all weather conditions — from dry summer rounds to damp morning dew. Its inherent tackiness means you do not need to grip tightly to feel secure, which reduces forearm tension and promotes the relaxed stroke mechanics essential for great putting. The soft cushioning of the material also absorbs micro-vibrations, providing pure, undistorted feedback on ball strike quality.
The staggered tread pattern on the WinnPro X 1.60" is precision-engineered to optimise contact between the hands and grip surface. The alternating texture elements create multiple micro-grip points across the entire hand placement area, ensuring consistent traction whether you use a conventional, cross-handed, or claw grip style. Combined with the Excel polymer's inherent tackiness, the surface pattern further reinforces the lightest possible grip pressure — a key principle for elite-level putting performance.

If you have been playing with the same putter for a while and are not quite ready to invest in a new one, fitting a new grip can make a dramatic difference. Replacing your current grip with the WinnPro X 1.60" will completely transform the feel and performance of your existing putter — it will feel like a brand new club. The wider gripping area actively encourages a more pendulum-like stroke, which means more accurate, consistent putts each time you step onto the green.
