I've got Golf Pride Tour Velvet Grips (www.golfpride.com/golfgrips/mens/vtm.asp) on most of my clubs, but they're getting really old and it's about time for a change. So what does everyone else use as their grips?

I'm seriously thinking about going with cords this time around. I was using Titleist's V-55 cord (www.golfpride.com/golfgrips/cord/vic.asp) on my fairway wood and I like it, but I've heard they're really tough on your hands . . . and I don't wear a glove.

Any input's appreciated.

I don't wear a glove and I'm going with the Titleist V-55 cord. Smooth swingers don't have to worry much - the grip won't be moving around in their hands too much. People who play a lot of punch and swing hard, they worry about 'em.

Besides, chicks dig golf blisters. :-D

P.S. The amount of cording has come down in recent years. 10 years ago, yeah, they could rip you up pretty good. They're a little less abrasive now, I think. It seems that way, no actual proof other than my own memories.

I had played golf pride tour wrap full cords for years but changed this year to winn tan w55 and find them most comfortable.I have not played in the rain with them yet so I might go back to cords if they are not good in rain or heat.I wear a glove so that should help some.

You might like the Lamkin G3 1/4 cords.

I have tour velvets on my irons, and the Titleist tour velvet with full cord on my 980 3wood. I don't wear a glove and have no problems with either grips. I have a set of Golf Pride V55s waiting for when I get my clubs custom fitted.
