hendricks97 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 always wanted to try a leather grip. Nothing helps you find a lost ball better than a provisional hit straight down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saternus Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm going to be switching to round grips on my putters, and BestGrips is getting the first chance to be my go-to grip for that. The grips will be here Friday, and I'll report back with some initial impressions. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moecat Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Harry Sewill of www.bestgrips.com was nice enough to send me some of the prototype perforated club grips to test. One style is already pictured above in post #3: Another is similar in color, but with the perforations more widely spaced. A third also has wider-spaced perforations and with the pebble grain design of the Gridiron grip: Regarding looks, these are understated but nevertheless distinctive in that they look nothing like stock OEM club grips (thankfully!). One aspect contributing to this is the baseball-style lacing to aid the golfer in proper hand placement. The perforated Gridiron stands out for obvious reasons, and a golfer may gravitate towards this model first just out of sheer curiosity. I personally liked the unique pebble design of the Gridiron and favored this over the other grips when it came to looks. Functionally speaking, why create a perforated grip when the Best Grips leather is already moisture activated to increase tack? Consider this: other sports such as tennis use perforations in grips as a means to more quickly absorb moisture. Admittedly, I've been testing the prototypes in December during a colder and dryer than normal winter season in northern California, so sweat and precipitation have not been an issue. I can say that Best Grips typically come with a good amount of tack - but not overly so - that pretty much eliminates the need for a glove. For feel, I ultimately thought that the grip with the narrowly spaced perforations was best for me. I can't pinpoint if it was because of some combination of the leather and underlast, and perhaps Harry can better expand on this. Regardless, this model gave me the best sensation of cushioning and fullness during pre-shot and set-up routines and shock absorption during the ball strike. I can see how a better player may prefer the feel of the other prototypes if he/she wants greater vibration feedback to judge the quality of the ball strike. In addition, I think Best Grips has done a good job with the lacing over the years in making the thread feel softer and not so noticeable while holding the club. These prototypes definitely continue this trend. Overall, Harry has another potential winner here, and it will be interesting to see what further tweaks he makes to the perforated grips by the time they come to market.
