JStapp Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I am currently playing Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips. I've always had a little turn of the grips in my hand at impact or after impact. It doesn't typically affect the shots, but every once in awhile an off center strike will turn it and may affect the shot? What grips would be best for this? Thinking midsize grips or something with a more sticky/tacky style? Thanks to anyone who voices an opinion.

DaveP043 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Lots of people have favorite grips, you're certain to get lots of different suggestions. I prefer Iomic grips, my favorite is the X-Evolution. The material seems to stay very "grippy" over a long time, even in the rain, even when noticeably worn. They DO have some mid-size options as well.

Since you’re a daily grinder, the punishment trade off may not be worth it, but nothing beats the security of a firm cord grip. As a younger range rat, I happily bled for the control through the TX summers. I’ve been dealing with a hinky wrist for about a year that has cost me some grip strength in my lead hand and switched to the midsize Star Sidewinder 360 as an experiment. It’s a little softer than I’d ideally prefer but they’re super tacky, designed for air installation, made in the USA, very reasonably priced (especially when they have holiday promotions) and come with a 3-year warranty. They also offer a bunch of different colors, all listed by gram weight for us club building sickos. Very happy I made the switch.

You’re the one that originally turned me on to Star a few years back, when you sold me a half dozen spare red Sidewinders for a song. I’m actually still playing those on my wedges and very impressed with them as a company. Do you feel like building up the undersized grips to standard has helped them play a little firmer?

I almost forgot about those. They may be a touch more firm like this? I went undersized to work better with the larger butt size of the graphite shafts in my irons (although I do have small hands). They are definitely still very tacky after 200 rounds plus practice, but they are starting to wear a bit in spots. I liked that Star's undersized grips weren't super light, so it was a huge difference on the swingweight scale. downlowkey 1 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 3.6 / Anti-Cap: 9.9 (Last Updated Sept. 1, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.
