The Come and Take It Leather Putter Grip continues our Come and Take it Line into Putter Grips. The GT-L is a leather that combines performance with variety of colors, using a waxed finish to fight moisture. Made with the same sandstorm GT-L as the rest of the line, the putter grip is stitched with our Hand-Laced method, creating a subtle reminder rib capturing the familiar feel of a car’s steering wheel.

BestGrips Genuine Leather Golf Grip sizes and shapes are a little different than your run of the mill rubber golf grip. Because our leather grips feature real moisture management solutions, we don't rely on the aggressive taper most rubber grips use to keep the club in your hands. Our taper, which we call the ProTaper, equates to about a 3 wrap increase in the bottom section, or where your dominant hand is placed on the grip. This reduces taper shape has become so popular, even a few rubber grip manufacturers are offering it as an option.
As far as sizing goes, there's a few factors you must always pay attention to when deciding on size. First, the size of the butt of the shaft and it's taper where the grip will go. Shafts can range from .580" to .625" and it's important to both know the size of your shafts and to make them as close to each other as possible with tape before installing your grips. Second, how your hands grip the club will influence the size of grip that gives you the best results. If you grip the club more with your fingers, you'll be better off with a smaller grip than we recommend below. If you grip the club with more of your palm, you'll be better off with a larger grip than we recommend.
The BestGrips Leather Golf Grip Size Chart is below where the differences in each of our grips is explained and we recommend a grip based on the golf glove you use (or used if you're switching to the MicroPerf). Our Undersize plays just slightly smaller than a 60R rubber grip, our Standard plays like a 58R rubber grip (meaning standard size on a .580 shaft) and our Midsize plays like a larger midsize rubber grip. However, there's no standardized grip sizing in golf and no two rubber grips play alike.

How to Re-Grip
Below you will find two guides for installing grips using either water or solvents. You can also use the air method for grip installation. Here's a few tips to keep in mind:
When installing a putter grip, make sure the shaft has been built up to at least a .580" diameter (after tape). Irregular shafts and putters shortened into the 33" range will need attention in the area under the bottom of the grip.
Always make sure the edge of the shaft's butt has been blunted, regardless of tape. Any sharp edge can puncture the grip and cause bumps to appear when shafted.
Use a large piece of tape, be it double sided or single sided, that completely covers the shaft. Do not spiral or wind the tape around the shaft as this will cause the grip to stick and not slide on.
If using solvent or a water based lubricant, use more than you would a rubber grip. Make sure to wet the shaft twice and also the inside of the grip. If at anytime the grip stops going on, stop, remove the grip, and use more lubricant.
Pull the grip down the shaft. Do not push or twist as that can cause the underlast to tear.
As you can see, the air installation method of installing grips is superior to the solvent/water method. Any reputable club fitter will have an air hookup and we always recommend this method vs the use of lubricants.
If you are installing grips on a shaft with a butt diameter larger than .600″, like a UST Recoil or an Aldila Rogue, please call us (866-687-2291) before installing.

Solvent Installation 8 Step Easy Grip Process
Position the golf club in a vinyl shaft clamp and then in a vise. Point the club head straight down!
Use a sheetrock or carpet knife to cut through the old grip and peel away the sides of the grip to remove it.
Peel off the old tape using a straight-edged knife or heat the tape with a heat gun and peel it off.
Apply a strip of grip tape approximately slightly shorter than the grip and extended about 1/4 inch over the butt end. Remove backing, install tape around the shaft and fold over end. DO NOT LEAVE GAPS!
Position a drip pan under the shaft. Plug it with a golf tee (this important!) and pour in about 1 inch of grip tape solvent into the grip. Cover the other end and tip the grip to thoroughly lubricate the inside of the grip. Make sure you use plenty of solvent!
Pour the remaining solvent out of the grip and over the grip tape. Make sure it is wet and don’t forget to use extra solvent! The use of a smalll amount of wd-40 may help.
Repeat 5 & 6
Slide the grip onto the shaft until in is firmly landed onto the top of the shaft. Position the grip so the seam is positioned to your liking and is up. Ensure the seam is where you want it in reference to the club head.
Now take the club out of the vise and check that the grip is properly lined-up.
