Round is the most popular shape for most grips, meaning you can orient the grip whichever way you prefer (some players like to have the logo of the grip facing up or down, or may choose a 360/no-logo grip ). Ribbed grips have a small protruding ridge, designed to be oriented along the spine of the shaft. This rib, also called a "reminder", helps players feel where the bottom of the grip is, so they know how to properly place their hands.

The Velvet style grip was made popular by Golf Pride's flagship Tour Velvet line, which feature small repeating patterns of crosses using a rubber material. Velvet grips provides a light texture and traction for control without sacrificing feel. The Composite grip was made popular more recently with styles like the Winn Dri-tac and Golf Pride CP2, which feature a tacky and smooth surface that also provide visually enhancing patters and non-slip gripping. The Wrap style grip is actually a simulated 1-piece style but using a wrap design. The Winn Excel is a popular wrap style grip, as well as the Golf Pride Tour Wrap and Jumbomax Wrap grips. Cord grips have cord fabric interweaved through the surface of the grip. This provides traction and added firmness (feedback). The Hybrid style is a newer more modern style grip that utilizes both cord and rubber. The Golf Pride MCC Plus4 is one of the most notable Hybrid grips, which use a softer rubber for the lower hand and cord (for traction/control) in the upper hand.
