Sschaffer24 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Your Handicap: 15 What Grip You're Currently Playing: Best Grips Microperf How Often You Regrip Your Clubs: Never. Cool thing about leather. You don't have to replace them every season! Why You a Would Be An Awesome Grip Tester: I love reviews. Have a good way with words and take plenty of pictures. Would love to contribute to the growth of the site, and am genuinely intrigued by the design of these grips. I have a unique perspective being that I've played a leather grip over the last two seasons, one that I feel is the tackiest I've ever experienced. So the competition will be stiff. I'm honest about my thoughts and am overall a pretty kickass guy! Haha. Oh, and I'm very particular about my grips. TS3 8.75 with HZRDOUS Yellow and Black MicroPerf Best Grips.

fsav Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Handi 5.5 Lamkin similar to your velvet Twice to three times a year I replace grips I would be a great tester because I need to have minus 1/64 grips which is a nucance to stretch or build up to normally when I find one consistent grip that fits my hand and allows easy application I stick with it until I read something like this. Love the super stroke putter grips and play enough rounds to get it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAGolfore Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Handicap: +.5 Current Grip: Lamkin REL 3 GEN (Orange) Regrip: 1 time a year Why would I be a good tester: I play about 30 rounds half of which are tournaments. Need a grip that will not get slick and will hold up and help me when I am under pressure. I can take good photos, and give honest feedback.

Tekbud Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Handicap: 4 Current Grip: Tour Velvet Regrip: 1 time a year Been in and around golf for more than 30 years. I've worked in the business, taught in the business and sold in the business. While my golf game isn't what it used to be, I'm definitely knowledgeable enough to be able to regrip my clubs myself and provide a review of these new grips vs many others I've experienced throughout the years.

braveheart Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Handicap: 14 Current golf grip I use: Trying out Golf Pride CP2 pro midsize. Like how the right hand is thicker without using wraps under the grip. How often do I regrip: Once a year, unless I win these! I would be an awesome tester: Because I like to tinker and experiment with different feels and styles to see what works best for me. I like the look of this grip and I have a Super Stroke grip on my putter that I love. Thanks for the chance to test them out and perhaps win them.

theclubnut Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Your handicap: 3 What grip you are currently playing: Golf Pride - New Decade Midsize How often you regrip your clubs - Once a year, Twice if I play in a lot of excessive weather Why you would be an awesome grip tester: I know the manufacturers, I know the gripping process. I am a custom club maker and have tried all the new grips from Winn, Golfpride, and Lamkin already this year and have a good base of comparison and what the grip performance standard is for each type. I have a medium fast swing and I play shots with and without a glove in rain, heat, and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyamtr Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Handicap: 12 Current grip: Golf Pride multi Regrip frequency: usually twice per year Good tester: I have lovely hands - - - no, really!! Live in Virginia where the humidity is pretty bad and my (lovely) hands sweat like crazy. This would be a good test for these SS grips. I play about 80-100 rounds per year, except during polar vortices. I'm a lawyer, so I know how to write good. Cobra R9 Driver, Titleist TS 2 5W, Mizuno 7 wood, PXG 3 hyb.

liv2golf Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Handicap: 11 Current Grips: Lamkin Crossline 3 GEN Regrip: Yearly in the Spring Great tester: I hit the range 3-5 times per week, so, my grips see plenty of use. I play in various conditions throughout the year. (Cold, hot, wet, humid) I play in the humid Eastern half of Kansas as well as the dry, windy Western half of the state. I ask a lot of my grips to help keep my grip relaxed so I have one less thing to worry about during my round of golf. Thanks to MGS and Super Stroke for the opportunity. I love my Super Stroke putter grip. These grips would compliment it well.

kingratso Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Your handicap - 7.2 What grip you are currently playing - Taylormade, Ping, Titlelist & Rexton How often you regrip your clubs 2-3 times/yr. Why you would be an awesome grip tester - Well, obviously I need some consistency in my grip choices. ;-) Currently using the grips that came with the clubs (were too new to change) except for the Rexton (wanted a midsize on the club). I do my own regripping & have a ton of Black Widow grips I was going to install when ready. I play 100+ rounds/yr and can give these grips a real test. I have a spellchecker that keeps me somewhat in line and vaguely remember basic grammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilz22 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Your Handicap - 18 What grip are you currently playing - winn How often do you regrip your clubs - yearly Why would you be an awesome grip tester - Well, with my awesome handicap my grips get tested quite well, sometime the club slips 10 to 20 yards. See Rory's club slip into the lake a few weeks ago. I need something that will allow me to keep my grip and not SLIP out of my hands. I think it would greatly impact my game.

BreakingPar Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Handicap: 15 Currently playing: Stock Speedblade grips on irons, NDMC black out on wedges, SS Mid 2.0 Ryder Cup on putter How often I regrip: Every couple of seasons, or as needed Why I would make a great tester: I play NDMC on my wedges, and have been thinking of switching the grips on my irons to the same this coming season. I think it'd be great to test these SS grips and compare them to the NDMC, as I think these grips should be very comparable to them. I love the SS grip on my putter, and if these are grips do to my iron game what that grip did to my putting... well, watch out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPCJake Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Your handicap: 8.6 What grip you are currently playing: Pure Grips DTX, GP Tour Velvet Cord, GP New Decade MCC, GP Tour Wrap, Lamkin REL Ace 3rd Gen. How often you regrip your clubs: Yearly Why you would be an awesome grip tester: There are several key reasons you should select me as a tester for the Super Stroke Grip project. I travel around the country for work and have a few sets of clubs scattered across the US. I regrip each of my iron sets yearly, I put new grips on the woods as necessary. As you can see from the list above, I currently game a selection of the most popular, most innovative grips available. My primary set of clubs at home see's 90 rounds per year in the Seattle area. They are a mix of GP New Decade MCC and Tour Velvet Cord grips. In my Super Stroke review, I will offer a wide range of grip experience to compare the Super Stroke grips to. I have alluded to another reason you want me as a tester. I have posted 17 scores since the March posting season began. I have already posted scores in Seattle, North Carolina, and Bandon Dunes. I put grips to the most extreme conditions imaginable, heavy rain, near freezing conditions, humidity, extreme heat. I play 120 rounds a year. I will put these grips to the test! But that's not all, I have an excellent group of golf buddies, I will have them give these grips a try as well. Lastly, I am a huge GolfSpy fan. Your reviews are amazing. I have used Golf Spy to purchase the "Most Accurate Putter" on the market - I scored a pre-recall Ketsch and it's awesome. I recently used the GolfSpy Most Wanted Driver rankings along with a fitting day at my club to purchase a BB Alpha 815 DBD. I would love to be part of the best testing group in the industry. OK - I realize I sound like many of the other responders to this contest. I have one more thing to offer you, Cash! As soon as I press send, I am donating to GolfSpy to support independent golf equipment testing. I am putting my money where my mouth is. I am tired of the big mag's telling me that every product on the market earns a Gold Star. GolfSpy puts golf equipment to the most thoughtful, realistic tests possible and therefore gives golfers everywhere the best information possible. I want to be a part of that. Pick me.

luomie02 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Pick me!! Your handicap: +18, when the Sun is shining and the birds are quietly chirping What grip you are currently playing: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Super Tack on the wedges, Golf Pride MCCs on the irons How often you regrip your clubs: At the beginning of Spring...Spring showers brings new grips! Why you would be an awesome grip tester: I love the game of golf. I'm not obsessed with my desires. The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote, "A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish." He was a funny guy. If given the opportunity to be a tester, I'll ensure I give an unbiased, descriptive review of the grips. I've used Winn grips before my Golf Prides...I have no allegiance, whatever works and feels the best. I also have a really nice iPhone 6 that produces quality photos so I can properly document the fancy multi-materials of the TX1 grips. Lastly, as a pilot, all I do fly and play golf, so those grips will get plenty of time in my hands. Thank you for your consideration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
