Golf Review: Black Widow Golf Grips—the grips that grip back!
It is time for the results of the Kate Hughes Challenge!! Yes, I know Black Widow is wondering what I was up to, but I really wanted to give the grips a real test. I have been playing with them for 3 months and wanted to see how they really stand the test of time, play and weather changes.
Let’s Talk BW Grips
Black Widow Grips have a Web Traction Design tm that provides improved grip confidence and help promote a proper grip pressure which is essential for power and confidence.
Each type of grip design has a vertical alignment ‘bar’ which assists is proper hand position on the club.
The Feel and Look
Now let me tell you how it feels in my hands. I have 3 of the designs on my clubs: the putter (Widow Maker Putter); Fusion; and the Signature II. I love the way each of them feels in my hands…like an extension of my arms. What is best about each of the grips is their ability to stay feeling like new after 3 months of hitting balls, playing round, tournaments and playing in inclement weather. Every situation I was impressed with the grip and my hands ‘staying put’ on the club.

The look is fun and creates lots of conversations with all my playing partners. In my humble opinion, I think they get a little intimidated that I have ‘spiders’ on my grips. I feel and look like I can take a bite out of the competition and the course!!!!
I am interested in trying every single style as I think each will continue to offer the grip confidence and promote a solid aligned grip.
Overall, I am very impressed with the BW Grip line and trust me as a former LPGA Tour player, I have had the opportunity to try just about every grip out there to date.
The Performance
Having waited this long to do my review, I really wanted to see if they performed like they promised and I must say the grips certainly did just that: I maintained an even grip pressure with a good feeling grip in my hands and they outlasted many grips I have used in the past this long with my extensive practice and playing. I also love the constant alignment help with each grip to assist me in being confident my hands are on the club just as I want them to be.
One note: be sure you have someone who is experience in putting the grips on your clubs. With any grip you need to be sure they are on correctly so that they do assist you in your overall game. If the grips are poorly put on, trust me, it will affect your game. I had a professional put mine on to my specs and they are perfect.
Over the past few months, the grips have been through the cold, rain, heat and wind storms and they still feel awesome.
Final Thoughts
BW Grips has design and technology that all golfers should give a go to. I am an avid golf like many and I am impressed. I give BW Grips a positive Golf Review with HIGH Rating for Look, Feel and Performance.
I hope to try the entire line and am confident that when I do, you will hear back from me only positive thoughts and results!!
Congrats to Black Widow Grips for an outstanding product!!!
