HardcoreLooper Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I've been accumulating classic clubs that I've been fooling around with. Unsurprisingly, the grips are rock hard, cracking, dry rotting, etc. I have two sets of irons (the Apex Grinds and the Mac Muirfields) and several woods in need of new grips. I wish I had the money to burn to throw some nice leather Best Grips on them, but I just can't justify that. So does anyone have any suggestions for inexpensive and simple-looking grips? I'm not looking for something that will hold up to several rounds a week - these clubs only see action once a month or less. I've been looking at the Karma wraps from Hireko, but I'm open to any and all suggestions. https://www.hirekogolf.com/karma-wrap-black-standard-golf-grips.html Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhammer Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Star Grips are a classic looking inexpensive grip made in the USA and come with a 3-year warranty.

Those are some nice looking grips, just what I'm looking for in the looks department. But at $7-$8 per grip, I'd be spending more on the grips than I did on the clubs. Is there some secret source sells them cheap?

HardcoreLooper Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 FWIW - I went with these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0148E38RK/ They look like old-school Crosslines. If they're not ribbed, I can install them logo down. And if not, no big deal. Pretty highly rated, and certainly cheap enough to take a flyer on.

ChitownM2 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 If those don't work out or you decide to do more clubs, hurricane golf has some good deals on grips. These might have worked well and they have even more less expensive options from other less known brands... https://www.hurricanegolf.com/clubmaking/golf-grips/lamkin-wilson-staff-crossline-black.html HardcoreLooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reesedw Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Nice read.. Sorry I missed it.. I reviewed the Wilson D300's a couple of years ago (before CCC2) and they beat out my Ping G25's. So i know Wilson makes great clubs.. If you are looking at wedges try the Cleveland RTX Zipcore... They are very nice, FOR ME, i got more spin and stopping.. Tee 'em High and Hit 'em Long my friend..
