Why would you be an awesome grip tester: I typically hit 1000 balls per week on the range and play at least twice a week. Durability would be tested rather quickly.

Undershooter 4,040 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Handicap: 4 Current grips: usually golf pride NDMC or sharpro dual compound if I'm in a pinch. How often do you regrip? About twice per year although it depends if how quick the grips wear out. I do all my own grip work. Why would you be an awesome grip tester? I'm an awesome individual all the way around Seriously though I am very touchy about grips and have very sweaty hands that seem to only work with some form of multi compound grips. Grips are huge for me, I can rarely test a club fairly if it doesn't have a grip that I like on it.

jdiddyesquire 349 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Handicap: 30 Current grips: Golf Pride z-grip How often do you regrip? Every couple years previously. I just wasn't playing often enough. Now that I'm playing every week, I suspect I'll be regripping twice a season. Good news is I'm totally due for a regrip. I've been testing a bunch the last few weeks looking for what I like. I'd be a great tester because I haven't settled into a grip I love. I'm kind of like a fresh slate. No preconceived notions! I'll also write an absurdly over the top review that gives each of the 13 grips a name and back story. -Justin- @jdiddyesquire Driver - Speedline Super LS 9.5*, Matrix Red Tie 6Q3 X stiff3 Wood - Tour Edge Exotics CB4 Tour 13*, Aldila NV Protopype 80X Irons - 3-PW rac LT, KBS Tour XWedges - MP-T4, 50.6, 56.14, 60.5Putter - Odyssey White Hot Pro Rossie Bag: Daltrek Carry-Lite Stand Bag Shoes: Lunar Swingtip Suede Ball: Wilson Staff Duo Link to post Share on other sites

apprenti23 604 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Apprenti23's Submission Handicap: Who's asking? Anywhere from a 0 to a 6 depending upon which baggers I'm playing with! Current Grip: Grip Master Stitchback Frequency of Regrip: Haven't played enough combined with frequent club hoing has lead to a lack of requiring a regrip, but when I used to play a lot it was 3-4 times a year. Hoping that will be the case in 2015. Why me: Guaranteed to provide a thorough unbiased review much akin to that of the mission statement of MGS. I have used/sold/installed every grip from Winn Excels and Boccieri's to New Decade MCC's and Iomics. Personal favorite grip is Tour Velvet cords, but my tendinitis hates them. Early 30's scratch golfer and currently unemployed PGA Professional who used to own his own shop. Frequently plays with other PGA Pros and plus handy's to whats-a-handy.

revkev 22,174 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Handicap: 4 Current Grip: Golf Pride 1/2 cords How often do you change them: As needed, generally one a year. Why would you be an awesome tester: I believe I have a good track record as a tester. I don't throw my name in the hat for every test either, only those items where I may be of assistance to the company needing the test. I would do an awesome job for Super Stroke. I play 50 plus rounds a season, the test would take place in Florida during hot and often wet conditions and being in my late 50's I'm struggling with the onset of arthritis so grips are an extremely important equipment piece for my game. Thanks for the opportunity to submit an application. I hope that I am chosen but also know that any testers chosen from within the MGS community will do a great job.

youngen 5 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Handicap: 11 Current Grip: All my woods have Golf Pride NDMC's either Whiteouts or Platinums, and all my irons have Golf Pride Dual Durometers How often I re-grip: I re-grip as needed, which is usually about every other year. With the short golf season here in ND that's about equal to southerners that re-grip every year. Why Me: Well, I love re-gripping my clubs to try out new grips. I use my air compressor, so for me it is a painless task that takes just minutes to do. I also like to test my club's grips with and without a glove to know how that affects feel and play. Now that the season here in ND is starting, I will be playing Men's league weekly, couples league every other week, and rounds with buddies occasionally on weekends. I will have plenty of time to get a feel for these grips and tell everyone here how I felt about them. I love SuperStroke putter grips and was just about to re-grip my irons with the Splash grips over the winter before I heard rumors of these new grips coming out. I planned to have a trial between the TX1 and Golf Pride's new MCC+4 this season. This would be a great way to initiate that showdown. Thanks for the consideration! 1 Cleveland Classic 290 12°, C.

Txstcatman 88 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Your handicap - I currebtly play between a 13-14 What grip you are currently playing - I have Pure P2 Wraps on one set of irons, and Golf Pride NDMCs on my most recent set How often you regrip your clubs - generally once a year unless I find a grip I like after trying and switch my set over Why you would be an awesome grip tester - i tend to have a strong grip on the club. This usually means I wear a grip out more often than I'd like. I enjoy check out grips for durability and also comfort. As a review writer, I feel I am articulate and thorough. I will always include as much information as I possibly can. In this case, I would try to simulate different condition (stick a club in the freezer to simulate cold conditions, spray with water for rain and sweat, etc.). I enjoy tinkering with my equipment and grips are especially fun to work with since I do my own install work and could even comment on that aspect of the grip.

AwwSoukieSoukie 0 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Your handicap: Grint Index - 6, but with my first baby here that is going up...baby! What grip you are currently playing: Lamkin Crossline Full Cord How often you regrip your clubs: Every Six Months Why you would be an awesome grip tester: I play and practice weekly and in a variety of locations and conditions. I travel weekly for work and I typically lug my clubs with me. Over the last few months my sticks have scraped grass in VA (Home), PA (prior home), FL and the UK. I'm a committed range-rat during the week while I'm working and that gives me ample time to put these grips through their paces and provide a thoughtful review to the MGS Community.

In may we play in 54 degree FH, in june around 60, july in 65 in august 70-80 and in september we play until ten days after it has begun to snow.

chewrhodes 1 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 My handicap: 7.2 My current choice of grip is the GP MCC, I have switched back and forth between these and the iomic sticky 2.3s I change my grips once a year, past couple years I have done it twice switching sets and liking a different grip in the process. I think I would be an awesome grip tester because I feel I put more into the grip than I should. Going between the sticky's and the MCC got me thinking about how those different grips could change my swing. It got me curious, and I have been tinkering with grip details ever since. I feel that the grip is an extremely important factor in providing a golfer with the ability to feel how their shots react to minor changes in the swing and hands. I would love to see these new Super Strokes and get a feel for how these will effect my shots. To top it all off, I am in a position to be able to test them directly against the others in the wonderful steamy conditions of South Florida.
