The Sidewinder is a non-wrapped style grip with surface engraving that emulates the sidewinder snake found in the Southwest part of the US, which happens to be the home of Star Grip in Phoenix, Arizona.

The shape was chosen since it provides a symmetrical gripping surface with more texture and bite, and is similar to a corded grip. The more aggressive feel along with the proprietary rubber formula makes the Sidewinder an excellent choice for low handicappers.
