Thin2win Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 One bad thing anout making such a durable and long lasting grip is that they don't get the reorders other brands do. Id go through 3 New Decades before wearing 1 of these out.

All Pure grips are rubber. The DTX grip is their version of a full corded grip; very rough. I like them, but thought I'd give the Pure Pro a try in my irons; very tacky. They last a long time compared to other grips I've used which seemed to get hard and smooth rather quickly. The putter grip has a flat front. I installed the oversize grip on my wife's putter; she likes it, but it's too smooth for my liking, and my putter is counterbalanced and the grip is quite heavy. If anyone is installing with air, the Pure installer gun is worth the price and especially at 50% off. 33 minutes ago, Thin2win said: Pure pro are a tackler, more aggressive version of a golf pride tour velvet .

I should have gotten more while they had them.

OrangeCrush Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I picked up a set of these when I got the notification. I am curious if anyone had played Iomic and these. How comparable are they? Looking for a tacky grip that I can use without a glove. It's alright most of the time but the golf pride mcc+4 I will occasionally lose grip on when overly hot/humid Quote LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is important to you, then I fully understand why you are going to miss Pure. I'm an engineer. Yes, I appreciate aesthetics, but my primary concern is function. In that regard, Star and Pure are quite similar. Star does offer a pretty good color choice, but (a) nothing as eye-catching as that neon yellow, (b) only solid colors (I think dispersed into the rubber) -- nothing like the black logo on the light-colored grip. But check it out; you might like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not squishy, but it's not hard and never seems to get hard nor cracked. I have also found that the tack not only lasts a long time, it is restored to "almost new" with a good washing (water and strong detergent or de-greaser). A litle history here. A friend who is a reseller of a lot of golf components first told me about Star almost 20 years ago. Since I tried them back then: They have been the only grip I use on my own clubs. I have never had to replace one due to wear nor age. My current irons have had the same grips for over 400 rounds and their feel and tack are still very good. (Yeah, I know that speaks to Star's and Pure's business model. So be it!.) I blow grips on and off without tape. (2" of tape over the butt to get it started makes it easier, but far from necessary.) In fact, I just lengthened a driver, which involved removing the grip (with an air compressor), putting in a shaft extension, and blowing the old grip back on. No problems, and the old grip is still fine. The formulation (common to Pure and Star but no other grip I know) retains its elasticity as long as my experience with them. twyatt700, silver & black, Kenny B and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_APH Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 A lot of people loved Pure Grips... maybe it was just me, but I didn't know they were to an extent built off of another company that still is in business called Star Grips? https://stargrip.com/ I just ordered the Air Grip Gun and a couple grips to test out.

Johnball Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Whoa, dude, PURE Grips is packing up, leaving the golf scene! Their grips were solid, almost too good, and now they're saying goodbye. If you're all about holding on to what you love, better snag some while you can. And hey, if you're looking for some solid essays or help with writing, check out https://essaybox.org/ They’ve got your back, just like those trusty grips did. Peace and essays, man!
