How many different grips are on your clubs?

[BillL]

I had my set regripped before buying 2 new wedges and a new hybrid.  I've those grips as is for now as they are comfortable and in good shape. I will potentially get all the same next spring or if I notice excessive wear.  I've gone back and forth on putter grips, but have kept the stock Odyssey 2 Ball putter grip that came w/ the club when I bought it 2 years ago.

I have midsize Golfpride tour wraps on all my clubs besides the putter, scotty cameron pistolini plus

[JoeB1]

With the exception of the putter, 2 types. Both are Winn midsize DriTaks, irons and wedges are the wraps and hybrids and woods are the typical. I found for some reason it messed with my mind to have different sizes of grips, as I tried oversize on the driver and a hybrid and when I went back to my irons I was shutting the face too hard.

IOmic Sticky 2.3 on all my clubs. Been using these for years.

All clubs other than putter....Golf Pride Tour Velvet Plus 4s.

I haven't read through all of the thread responses, but I'm probably in the minority here.  I have only 2 grip types on my clubs (putter excluded).  My driver/3w are both Golf Pride Tour Velvet jumbo, which my 7w and irons are Tour Velvet midsize.  My wedges are Lamkin midsize.  Probably it would make sense to try out some other grips to see if I get greater feel or comfort, but I just haven't bothered.  The Tour Velvet grips are familiar to me.  The Lamkins are only because the wedge company from which I bought the wedges only used Lamkin.  Though, I have to say, I do like those grips, too, having gotten used to them.

For many years I always liked the Winn Dri-Tac grips and used mid-size for several years as my hands get extremely sweaty and the Dri-Tacs are the best at handling sweaty hands. Then I had to have carpel tunnel surgery and can't close my hands as strong as when I was younger so I moved up to the oversize Winn's. The Dri-Tac grips wear out pretty quickly and being in Florida and playing every week I was changing grips about every 6-8 months.

So, this past year I started trying out the JumboMax grips. I started out trying the JumboMax JMX Ultralite in the medium size on my driver. That grip was about the size of a small ball bat (which I was used to after playing ball for 38 years) and there was some adjustment to the size. I felt it was just a bit too large so, I then put the same grip in the small size on another shaft that I could change out on my driver. I liked that one a bit better but was still looking something a bit smaller but larger than the Winn oversize.

I've now landed on the XS size of the JumboMax STR8 Tech Ultralite Non-Tapered Grips. This is the smallest size grip that JumboMax makes (to my knowledge) and it fits me perfectly! I have this grip on all of my clubs except my putter of course which has a SuperStroke Fatso 1.0 on it.    

I still have the 2 shafts with the Small and Medium sized grips on them in case I decide to go back to the larger grips. So far, the JumboMax grips are wearing really well and I only change my grips when they are either worn out or I buy a new club as I want my grips to be the same throughout my set.

7  sooooooo I went on this journey to find a grip size, wrap, and style I loved.  I had every intention to pick one and make my bag more uniform... but here I am a year later.

I'm on a similar journey, but coming around to the idea I don't need the same throughout (with the help of this support group..eh-hem..forum thread)

My putter has a grip that is slightly larger than what my hand size would dictate, but I want that extra width when attempting a putting stroke.

I continue that into CP2 mid wraps on my wedges, which are often used with delicate touch like a putter, but also get swung wildly at times I want extra grip in my hand but the wrap texturing for control as I grip down I can find that groove with my forefinger all the way down.

On irons I take full swings I don't want extra grip in my hand I use standard size and the crosslines that came on them suit me well. 

I found a preference for corded grips on any club I might attempt to swing faster than my comfort zone. That extra confidence my 3w won't slip when swinging 99 mph I find comforting. I don't need it on a 80-88 mph swing with an iron.

My driver has an iomic 2.3 which is undersized. I want this so I can take my absolute firmest grip on that club. My hands are as close to being on the club as possible while still having a tacky layer with incredibly low torque. This grip completes the transition from putter to driver, "too big for my hand size" to "undersized based on my hand size"

[Derek9rx]

Woods and wedges are golf pride tour velvet. Irons are golf pride cpx. Probably will go to all your velvet when I regrip next.

... I would highly recommend wrapping your fingers around a Lamkin ST Hybrid +2 grip and see what you think. The best thing I can say about them is I no longer even notice them. I play without glove and need a solid connection with no slipping so I had to wipe down my Tour Velvet, REM3's and UTx with a towel almost every swing to keep the grip tacky or they slipped and the ST Hybrids don't need to be wiped down during a round at all. I don't have to tell you about marketing but the Fingerprint Technology/Genesis Material is the real deal. Not tacky but no slipping. Worth a look. 

I would second the recommendation for the St Hybrids. They also last nearly forever compared to GP grips. These are easily the best grips I've ever used.

Driver, 4 and 7 woods, 4-P and Vokey 48°, 54°, and 58° have Arccos embedded Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips.  Scotty Cameron has the stock Pistolini Plus grip.

... I started using Costco microfiber towels and I noticed when wiping down Tour Velvet grips I am using for the Cobra Challenge, what I think has to be die bleeds onto the towel. And I had just cleaned these before the round. Not liking that at all and ST Hybrid of course leaves no residue.

Boy, this a topic for me - I don't like to change balls, or to change clubs, but I seem to be always trying new grips.

I don't use a glove - all these grips seem fine on the clubs they are on - but I would not say they would work on other clubs.

All my grips are standard size - 

Lamkin Sonar Tour, grey on my Driver and 3W.  - the top of the grip was too wide and dug in to my hand, so I used a belt sander and ground it down to a reasonable diameter.

Golf Pride CPX, grey on my 4W and 6W - I hated these on my Driver and 3W, but they seem fine on these shorter clubs - weird.

Pure DTX, white on my irons and wedges - these are my favorite - they are very grippy, maybe too much grip for the faster clubs.

Iomic ABSOLUTE, orange on my putter - Have used this for 5 years or so. They get 'gummy' forcing me to change them, maybe once a year - I clean them often, sometimes during the round. They have such a good tacky feel and the diamond pattern is perfect - also, the shape and size fit my hands well.

 

So, that is it, 4 different grips for me.

 

[Randall Robbins]

I have the "rainbow" collection in my leather grips from Best Grip - wedges are the Augusta (green) my hybrid and 4 wood are the Grape Soda (plum or pupleish) my driver and 5 -9 irons are the Patriot (blue w/ red stitches) and the 3 wood and putter are black.  These of course wear like crazy and keep their tack, and a couple of them are 4 years old.

[MuniGolfer]

I generally run mcc +4 on everything except my putter, but I bought a shaft off eBay and that had an iomic and it has felt good enough to leave it for now. So 3, currently.

[Big moose]

All my clubs have lampkin mid size crossline grips. My putter has a super stroke 3.1 slim.

[smjPenn91]

I play Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize on all my clubs (except my putter) and have for 25+ years.  They stay tacky forever and I can't imagine using anything else.  I occasionally get tempted by something from Winn or SuperStroke and I try it and end up being disappointed (too soft, too hard, not tacky enough, doesn't handle sweat well).  Fortunately I am pretty good at removing and installing grips.  I have a Winn Pro 1.32 grip on my putter and I can't imagine replacing it with anything else.

[Dweed]

Nothing fancy here. Golf Pride Tour Velvets except for my putter, Superstroke 3.0

[Tarheelvolvo]

All grips on all clubs are Golf Pride Tour Velvet Midsize, except putters. Ping Anser rocking PP58 Black Cord Midsize and TA Impact #3 with Golf Pride Pro Only Green Star

Hey Everyone, 

I play a couple times a month, clean my clubs fairly frequently but not necessarily after every round, although I do clean the faces after each shot to keep the spin on the wedges and irons as pure as I can. My question is does anyone know of a cleaner or technique that helps keep the tackiness and feel of the grips on the new side? Is there a product or process to keep  grips clean? Normal wear aside, especially on wedges, I'd really like to keep my grips as long as I can as I really don't want to keep spending money on new grips every time the irons start to slip a bit more. For argument's sake, I play Golf Pride Velvet grips on my Ping Irons and Titliest wedges

I enjoyed reading the similar thread about different shaft models. Was wondering about people's habits with grips?

Mismatched? Play what's on the thing? I probably have one of the stranger equipment setups in this regard I'm guessing. I've always gone by feel. If I hate the feel I change it, when I buy a used club with a grip that feels good in my hand I play it that way for seasons and seasons.

The result is I have 6 different grips (7 if you count my putter) to go with my 8 different shafts. 

Not just models are different, but I have variety in sizes and textures now since my 52° came with a midsize wrap I really like for wedges and put the same on my 48° and 56°.

1. Superstroke Traxion tour 2.0 on putter

2. Iomic X evolution 2.3 on driver

3. Lamkin Utx standard on 3w

4. No1 pro 50 black standard on 5UT

5. Lamkin crossline standard on 6i-PW

6.        "          "     360 standard on 4h

7. Golf Pride CP2 wrap mid on AW, 52°+56°

Most OEM grips are derivates from Golf Pride any way.  So when replacing it's fairly simple unless you have say a Scotty Cameron putter and want to maintain the kudos and value by paying a hell of a lot more for named grip.

 If I buy a club, whether it be new or second hand, if the grip is in good condition, I'll leave it on until it needs replacing at which point I'll fit GP Tour Velvet.  They are easy to fit, the most easily available, wear well, providing you clean them regularly with non-oil based cleaner, and they are reasonably priced.

However, if the fitted grip is anything other than standard grip thickness, I'll change it.

All my irons have the same grips, Lamskin Perma Wrap grips. I like the threaded feel, which allows me to place my hands in a good position. I have a Golf Pride grip on my driver, which I am looking to change.

I would be interested to see a test if grips made a difference.

I have 3 different grips.  I am trying a standard lighter GP grip for my Driver and 3FW than my MCC Plus 4s (which are on my irons).  

[EMacK1961]

All of the hitting clubs have Golf Pride grips. My putter has a P2 pistol grip

[Paul Hedrick]

I currently have three different grips in my bag.  My putter has a standard SeeMore grip.  My wedges and irons have Winn DriTac standard size grips, and my Driver, fairways and hybrid have Golf Pride CP2 Wrap Golf Grips.  I enjoy experimenting with new grips.

[Bob Jerabek]

I am kind of boring with my grip choices, been playing the same grips for years now.  They do get changed every year though.

Golf pride CP 2 on all clubs except the putter which sports a Scotty Cameron Mid Size.

I guess I don’t like change.
