tony@CIC Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I've been a MCC +4 user for several years and had no intention of switching til I got a Dick's gift card. I typically order my grips from golfworks, so there is never any 'window shopping'. With the gift card I decided to stop by Dicks and get a few MCC+4's. But then I spotted some new GP CPX. They seemed to have a soft but grippier surface so I ended up buying 2 to put on the long end of my bag since I never choke down on those clubs and don't need the 'less tapered' fit of the MCC+4's. .Early indications are I love this grip. Worse yet, my wife loves the grip so now I have to change out 2 bags . I did end up using 3 layers of tape, since with a XL size glove I'm between a midsize and jumbo grip but also trying to compensate for GP's 'marketing' equivalent +4's = 4 layers of tape. For those concerned about the difference in the dimension see the photos below of the dimensional difference on my driver. Note the MCC +4 had 2 layers of tape. MCC +4 with 2 layers of tape measured at 5" . Oh and yes I know this grip is a bit worn - that's why I was replacing it CPX measured at 5" with 3 layers of tape Also the butt end of the CPX, like the MCC line is flat so the SS sensors fit flat against it. AND as an added bonus they're less expensive than the +4's GrumpyGolf, KC Golf, GolfSpy TCB and 3 others 6 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf2Much Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I've been thinking about trying the CPX grips the next time I'm due for a change. I was using the CP2 Pro on most of my clubs, have a few MCC grips left on a couple of clubs and just swapped out three of the Velvet Tour Plus 4 grips. I like the idea of the CPX, especially the size and the fact I don't wear a glove. I'd be interested to get your impressions after getting it out on the course.

Siamese Moose Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I like a soft grip (arthritis), so I was interested in what Golf Pride advertised as their softest grip ever. Golf Galaxy didn't have them mounted to really feel what they were like, but I took a chance and bought a set. I have a few left if you want them. I really don't like them! Surprisingly, my new favorite is Super Stroke traxion. tony@CIC and Bobbers 2 Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the Traxion works well or you.

Headhammer Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I tried the CPX and really liked the feel initially, but all of the surface textures felt weird after a while. I've been using the GP Microsuede in mid-size and so far am very happy with feel, comfort and grip in this horribly humid weather.

As mentioned I have it on my 5 wood as well and haven't experienced the same issue. So I don't know if this is a one off issue which BTW hasn't gotten worse.

TheCanadianBogeyman Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I've tried a number of grips over the last two years. I definitely prefer a softer grip over a cord grip. Can't get along with any wraps. The Winn Dritac isn't bad, but my two favorites are golfpride CP2 pro, and the Lamkin Sonar+. The Lamkin has the perfect balance of softness without ever feeling mushy. tony@CIC and mynerds 2 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS 9* Woods/Hybrids: Epic Max 3 wood, G425 7 wood, G425 4 hybrid Irons: 921 Hot Metal 5-Pw Wedges: CBX Zipcore 50, 54, CBX full face 60, ChipR Putter: Spider EX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parshooter36 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) I have been a CP2 fan for years, so I was very curious and put a CPX on one of my new hybrids. After a few rounds I'm still undecided, its definitely a unique feeling grip.

The Lamkin has the perfect balance of softness without ever feeling mushy. Couldn't agree more here. I threw CPX on my irons rons, CP2 Pros (grip down for the alignment line) on my driver, 3W, and wedges, and Sonar+ on my Hybrids just to be able to compare all three. So far the CP2 Pro and the Lamkin Sonar+ are far and away my preference over the CPX, with a slight preference for the Sonar+. Honestly, I might just pick the grip per club that better matches the shaft as performance on both has been similar. CPX was cool to try, but I will never regrip with them again. The tackiness was gone after 2 rounds and even a soapy scrub doesn't bring it back like it does on other grips. They also encourage a weird hand placement for me that has thrown my iron play into an even worse place than it had been. tony@CIC and TheCanadianBogeyman 2 Quote Driver: LTDx Max 10.5°, MCG C6 Red 50 R Wood: LTDx Max 3W 15.5°, MCG C6 Red 50 R Hybrid: TS2 4H 23°; 5H 25°, Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Black 60 Graphite Regular Irons: LTD (5-9); Vista PRO 60i R Wedges: Milled Grind 3 - 54.11 (56°), Milled Grind 3 - 60.10; Vista PRO 60i R Putter: White Hot Pro 1 / 2-Ball Ten Armlock Bag: Supreme Cart Bag 2022 Balls: Tour Reviews: Spornia SPG8 XL Net (Official), Me and My Golf Full Body Freedom (Unofficial), Club Champion Full Bag Fitting (Unofficial), Gravity Caddy (Unofficial) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas King Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I'm a big fan of the new softer compounds that Lamkin and GP have been coming out with the last few years. They offer good performance, comfort, and so far, appear to offer reasonable durability. I'm due for a regrip and I'm struggling on what to get. I currently have Winn Dritacs and those are okay but I can barely get through a season before they start falling apart. I'm stuck between going with the softer rubber like CP2s or getting the Star/Pure grips. I like golfing without a glove, so how grip and feel is important. I don't mind the multicompounds but they are a touch pricey, a little firm, and I've trouble with grip when things start getting even a little damp or humid. tony@CIC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
