GolfSpy_SHARK Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hey all. Just curious what everyone prefers for grips on their clubs? I recently swapped over to MCC through golf pride. Have not head the pleasure to test yet though. I tend to sweat a lot in the hands and get slippery. I have always used corded and liked them but with a lot of use they get slippery by the time you get to 18. I always enjoyed the leather grips because of the tackiness but they wear out so fast. With my putter I do not have a real preference but I do like my superstoke with the flat front. Not a large grip in contrast to other superstroke grips but overall really enjoy these grips. Quick reference below for a buying guide for anyone interested. https://lasergolfrangefinder.com/best-golf-grips-reviews/ HAPPY SWINGING! and dont let the club slip!

DaveP043 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I've been using Iomic X-Evolution grips for 8 or 9 years now, and have no reason to try anything else. The combination of rubber compound and texture makes these grips feel very tacky, even when they get a bit wet from rain or sweat. Although they do wear a bit, they remain grippy, I commonly go 2 years or more between changes, while playing close to 100 rounds a year. I have used cord grips before, both the GP Tour Velvet Cord and the New Decade, and felt that the cords just didn't retain their tackiness. https://www.iomicusa.com/fullswing GolfSpy_SHARK and Rflores91 2 Quote Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment
GolfSpy_SHARK Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 @DaveP043 Have never seen this brand before. Appreciate it. I definitely can already tell the the multi compound that tackiness just isn't there so time will tell. As long as they dont feel like they are slipping I will be fine. Also considering going to mid size next replacement.

I get mine direct from Iomic through their website, but you can find them on other websites as well. They also make a midsize model in their Sticky series, but I've not tried those myself.

silver & black Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I tried the Golf Pride multi compound grips a couple years ago. I found them to wear very fast. Anyone else have that problem? Other than that, I liked them and would still use them if not for the wear issue I had. I've gone to Pure Grips since then and love them. I noticed they aren't offering a mid size anymore.

pozzit Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I bought a used club with MMC and recently through Lamkin upgrade special got a free Sonar+ grip and like then both really well different feeling but I think provide similar benefits with wet situations and a bit of tackiness. I have played with and loved Tour Wrap for the last 5 years or so but have really had issues with sweat since I don't wear a glove and we'll have sweaty hands in 90* summer days.Using MyGolfSpy mobile app GolfSpy_SHARK 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.

GB13 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Another positive vote for the MCC grips. I’ve had mine for 2+ years and haven’t wanted anything else since trying them. Iomic grips are wonderful for initial tackiness, but wear out way faster than most grips in my opinion. As for grip size, it really just comes down to comfort, and what size keeps your grip pressure the lowest. For me, midsize grips are the best, but it varies from person to person.

JDHolmes Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I use GP Tour wraps on most everything and Winn dry Tacs when I have them or when the club has them on purchase. I regrip almost exclusively with the tour wraps. This is with over 100 rounds a year in Houston and I don't have slip issues with them. I've tried MCCs several times and they are just too hard, like holding a brick IMO. YMMV Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app GolfSpy_SHARK and DawgDaddy 2 Quote Link to comment
GolfSpy BOS Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I've been using Lamkin Crosslines for about 5 years now. Really tough to beat for less than $5 each. They work well for me in wet and dry conditions and are super durable. My new SM7's came with the Vokey branded Multi-Compounds, so I'll get to give those a good long test.

azstu324 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I guess it depends on what feel you like. There are chorded and a wide variety of rubber compounds that range from harder to spongy soft like Winn. Some are very durable and last a long time and others are pretty crap and you're lucky of you get 3 months. I've been playing Star grips for the past few years. It's a smaller company here in Chandler, AZ. It's a mid soft compound that very tacky and holds up well in the heat with sweaty hands. Also extremely durable! I was able to meet and chat with the owner and he filled me in on a little industry secret. Many well-known companies use compounds that break down very quickly with sweat and hand oils. This sends the consumer back more regularly. In turn, they still charge $10+/grip. Companies like Star, Pure, and Iomic focus more of their business over seas and in Asia where golf equipment is easily 3+ times more costly than here in the states and getting clubs re gripped every 6 months just isn't very cost effective. They use compounds that are 10 times more durable and feel great as well has maintain their performance. And to add to their great value, you can get them for around $5. I'm going on 3 years and they have yet to show any wear, lose any tackiness or change in feel. Just soap and water every few rounds keeps them like new. Now, all that said, I just re-gripped my 2ndary set of W/S FG tours with the new Golf Pride Microsuede wraps. I've never been a fan of the glossy look of the GP wraps but have appreciated their feel and durability. The Microsuedes look and feel much better and I can't say enough about how awesome they are. Similar to the Stars, they're very tacky, feel fantastic and are quite durable, also for around $6. Lastly, I'm currently testing the Fujikura Motore X with MGS. We were given a few grip options. I picked the Lamkin Sonar Tour. So far this grip is really nice. Probably the "tackiest" of grips that I mentioned. Also mid-soft compound and feels very nice without being spongy or rock hard. Time Will tell if the durability will hold up. the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get.. silver & black, GolfSpy_SHARK and cnosil 3 Quote PXG 0311 Gen 5 9°/ Fujikura MotoreX F1 6X F6 3 Wood 14* / Kuro Kage Silver 65X F8 6 wood 20* / Fujikura MotoreX F3 6S RADSpeed Hybrid 24* TS1 4-GW / FCM Precision 6.5 Rifle TSW Wedge - 56/12 EAS 1.0 / Grip master 2.0 MAXFLI Tour CG Link to comment
