Alf. S Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Currently I'm using Golf Pride MCC 4 Plus on all my irons, I bought into the idea of having less taper for my right hand. After a year I'm thinking of re-griping. I also used the Lamkin Plus 3GEN wedge grips on my wedges which I really liked but can't get them in the UK any more. I was looking to re-grip over the winter and bought a set of Lamkin Crosslines for the irons and and Crossline 1100 wedge grips for my wedges. I've re-gripped the wedges but seem to have lost a bit of feeling when chipping so may postpone the full set re-grip until I do a bit of consumer research. In my head I'm thinking of going for a lighter/softer feel grip. Winn Dri Tac maybe my next option! Edited January 12, 2020 by Alf.

sirchunksalot Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Lamkin Crossline 360 on my irons right now, but if I decide to replace them I'll go with the Golf Pride Align that is on my driver. I really like the ridge on the back for consistency in my grip. I also have the MCC +4 on my wedges, love these grips for the more delicate shots around the greens. I started using them by accident, I bought a Bridgestone wedge and didn't realize I'd ordered the +4. I liked the look of the multi compound grip and then I had to replace the one in my lob wedge.

chisag Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 ... I have never used a glove so tack is king for me. After many years of Lamkin REL 3gen I transitioned to UTx grips. The originals were too soft but the next generation worked out great for me. I keep a wet towel and wipe my grips before every or every other shot and they stay extremely tacky with a good feel that is not too firm or too soft but right in the middle. I have the Grey UTx on all my clubs. JohnSmalls, sirchunksalot, bens197 and 3 others 6 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Aerojet 3/5 ...

NRJyzr Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I've been bouncing around between grips, but nearly all of them are some form of textured grip; Crossline, Crossline Black, Pure Pro, and Star Sidewinder. Moving away from the Pure Pro, find it less good when they get a bit damp. Star Sidewinder is the current fave. The search is for something that I can play when we get our gulf coast weather each summer, but still works when it's cooler and drier. Not a cord fan, though I ironically have a set on my MP37s (came with them), they tend to feel slick to me when it's drier. First try with leather was similar, great when hot & humid, not so much in cool/dry? Been playing with a glove, maybe results would be different gloveless? Alf.

MattF Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I got turned on to Pure simply for the air re-gripping. I started with the Pure Pro and have moved over to their cord type grip, the DTX. They've become the only grip I'll use because of the cord like design and it doesn't tear up my hands because I don't wear a glove.

pozzit Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I have used GP Tour Wrap for the last 10 years whenever I regrip or if I have a choice of grip. This is primarily because of the tacky feel.The issue I have noticed is when it gets wet or my hands get sweaty these things get slick and since I normally don't wear a glove this has started to bother me this past season. I have a backup set I just put some Amazon Karma grips on for $12/13 grips and they work pretty well but just bought a couple Maltby clubs used with The MMC grips and those are really nice. Haven't played with those in any wet condition though.Using MyGolfSpy mobile app sirchunksalot 1 Quote Driver: Ben Hogan GS53 4W: Maltby KE4 2i: Maltby KE4 FDI 4-PW: Maltby TS-1 - C-Taper 120g 50,54,58: Maltby TSW Putter: L.A.B.

JAGolfore Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I currently use the Golf Pride Z Cord and MCC Plus 4 grips. I will be switching to all Golf Pride Z Cord Align this spring though. I have always loved cord grips and Golf Pride makes the best cord grips. I do wish they would come back out with the older cord grips with the green grip reminder lines. sirchunksalot and Alf.

HardcoreLooper Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I use the Cobra Connect version of the Lamkin REL 3gen. I was using the regular RELs before that (and still have a bunch in my garage). Just bought a bunch of the CC RELs off eBay. Love the feel, how they get a little tacky when wet and how they clean up well with a damp rag.

tchat07 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Alright I don't mean to hijack the thread with my own question but it slightly applies. I ordered new irons with Lamkin Midsize Grips. The clubs came in today and I noticed it said standard grips on them. Long story short they +4 wrapped it and put standard grips overtop. I have heard this comes out to be the same, generally. Any thoughts on whether I should go back to fitter to have midsize installed or just rock with the +4 standard.Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app MGoBlue100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app The size will be very close, but with the standard grip stretched over the tape, it will probably feel I smaller and lighter as it is stretched. With the actual midsize grip, the grip itself will feel thicker and heavier in tour hands. At least that’s how i see it or feel it when I have the same situation. It really is preference at that point. MattF and tchat07 2 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between a stretched standard and a midsize would be marginal. The standard sized grip, you’re at about 50g (using crosslines as a reference) and 62g for a midsize. A single strip of 2” tape adds between 1-1.5 grams of weight. Alf.
