Spieth wins with new SuperStroke Ultra Flatso

SuperStroke gained a following with professional golfers with its oversized putter grips, but it has been the company’s smaller models that have really taken off on the PGA Tour in 2013.

Case in point, 19-year-old Jordan Spieth, who used the company’s prototype Flatso Ultra putter grip in his victory at the John Deere Classic.

“Flatso” grips are different than SuperStroke’s oversized “Fatso” grips that were popularized by K.J. Choi. Unlike the Fatso and SuperStroke’s Slim, Mid Slim and Ultra Slim — grips that have a round-shaped back — the Flatso grips have a pentagonal shape that provides a much different feel.

That feel, according to SuperStroke Marketing Director Jon Luna, is similar to a pistol-style grip that many golfers prefer. Like pistol grips, Flatso grips have a ridge that runs down the back of the grips to give golfers better feedback on their hand position. But they also have the distinguishing traits of a wider flat section on the front of the grip, as well as two flat sections on the sides.

“We saw how well the Mid Slim grip went over on tour, so we wanted to create a pistol-shaped grip that was closer to the size our most popular grips, the Mid Slim and Ultra Slim.”

Spieth’s model, the Flatso Ultra, is still in the prototype phase. It’s the smallest of the Flatso grips, with a 1.1-inch diameter. The rest of the Flatso family includes the Flatso Mid putter grip, which has a 1.4-inch diameter, and the largest model, the Flatso, which has a 1.7-inch diameter.

The Flatso Ultra is currently being used by PGA Tour players Ted Potter Jr., Vaughn Taylor and Bo Van Pelt. Players currently using the Flatso Mid include Charles Howell III, Jason Dufner and Stuart Appleby.

Both the Flatso and Flatso Mid grips are available on SuperStroke’s website for $24.99. Luna said that golfers can expect the Flatso Ultra to hit shelves early this fall. The price is to be determined.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
