SPY VIP The Dansome Posted September 9, 2013 SPY VIP Share Posted September 9, 2013 Custom Drivershoes - By BestGrips Written by: Dan MannLuxuriousRight off the bat you can tell the baseball glove leather is high end. It looks good, feels good and sitting in the house smells good; like really good. It's lining is amazingly super soft to the touch. I'm not quite sure what this material is but sources close to me say that BestGrips has been experimenting with space age materials of late.CustomSince the introduction of embroidery and Stitch Works from BestGrips things have exploded. You can now order pretty much any of their products with your own custom designs. I found no imperfections in my cover and with the collection of BG products I own I would assume this to just be par for the course.CoolLet's face it: Custom handmade leather, custom personalized stitching, eye catching looks and Made in the USA. These things are cool. Flipping the cover over will also expose it's almost suede feel underbelly which just adds to the coolness factor. All for $65 which is cheaper than a lot of other leather products out there.The WrapLuxuryCustomCoolHandmade in the USAMBP ApprovesGo buy one. http://bestgrips.com/drivershoes Yo #JustPlayBetter Follow @GolfSpyMBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP The Dansome Posted September 9, 2013 Author SPY VIP Share Posted September 9, 2013 This is the first of what I'm dubbing "Speed Reviews" - Short, Sweet and Sassy. My plan is lots of great pics and brief quality info in a short post. Let me know if you crave/desire more info in these.

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted September 9, 2013 SPY VIP Share Posted September 9, 2013 That is awesome! I want a white one with a black Rorschach pattern. That would test the versatility of the stitching Well done!

SPY VIP The Dansome Posted September 9, 2013 Author SPY VIP Share Posted September 9, 2013 Another note on the speed reviews. With these I'd like to encourage/invite the manufactures to come to the forums and follow up on any questions related to their products reviewed. I'd also like to use these as a gateway for people to share their experiences with the reviewed product as well.

JREcklund03 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yes, more speed reviews with lots of pics! It is interesting and still helps compare some of the smaller dollar accessory purchases that we have to make every year!

Aotearoa_Brad Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Love the short review format! The stitch-quality is awesome. I'm gonna have to think about what to put on a driver shoe for Bestgrips to do some work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestGrips.com Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks for the review MBP! The material used as a liner is made from a baby grade fabric (same with the puttershoes). Also, all of the threads are a special blend that is resistant to UV rays. The baseball glove leather is the true key to the quality of both the stitching and the overall 'shoe. While the leather comes in only tan and black, the embroidery allows us to add any color you want to it. Because leather is so porous and absorbs, bright colors are almost without a doubt painted (unless you use designer house leathers which are $$$$$). The paint will wear off very quickly with use. Our products are all designed to be used for decades, painted leather and white leather never seem to pass the 3 week test. Mr. Theoo, your's would have been out Friday, but I was out of town the last four days. Expect to see a shipping email today or tomorrow! Dave, I have a new type of customization that should launch before/during the Texas Open. It is especially cool and has more customization options than anything I've done to date. A Rorschach pattern would be a good test/review piece, perhaps? Hula, glad to hear you are enjoying your fairwayshoe! Keep calm and shaka! aotearoabrad, look forward to it! @bestgrips @puttershoes Best Grips is a second generation family business specializing in golf grips!

SPY VIP The Dansome Posted October 7, 2014 Author SPY VIP Share Posted October 7, 2014 Man I forgot why I deemed them Speed Reviews. I've definitely migrated to the moderately fast reviews Anyways a follow up to the durability of the Best Grips Drivershoes. This thing literally looks as good as the day I got it and it's been going for over a year. Yo #JustPlayBetter Follow @GolfSpyMBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
