    Clubs slipping out of my hand.

    I am having a problem with the clubs sliding out of my hands on my swing on hot days. I have a new set of Adams Irons, so the grips are new. Should I reg rip with something like Winn's to improve this. Is there anything else that might be causing the club to slide out of my hand? What is the best grip for me?

    Are you wearing a glove?

    How tightly are you holding the club? I'm not saying you should give it a death grip (in fact, you probably shouldn't), but some people are told to hold the club lightly and then barely hold onto it.
    "If this hole is cart-path only, what's the green stuff?"

    What's in the bag:
    - Dymo2 driver (9.5°) | SQ2 4-wood (17°) | SQ 3-Hybrid (21°), 4-hybrid (24°)
    - MP-57 5-9 irons | MP-T Chrome Wedges 47.6, 51.6, 56.14 | Tom Watson 60.7
    - Anser putter; 35.5", 68° lie, 5° loft.
    - B330-RX

    Pros I've been told I look like: Justin Rose (7), Jim Furyk (4), Kevin Na (1), Luke Donald (1)
    Pros I've been told I play like: (none)

    I normally suffer from slippage when my grip (not the rubber grip but my hand grip) is faulty. A tackier set of grips may help though if you're someone who likes to grip your clubs extremely lightly....

    I think it's because of the sweaty hands. May I recommend half or even full cord grips, such as Golf Pride Multi Compound? They're good on hot/humid condition and they won't easily slip out of your hands. The downside is they'll eat up your glove faster due to its coarse surface. Another thing is they're not easy on your other hand (yes the one without glove) on dry condition.

    I had all my irons, both the Fusion (red black) and MP-60 (blue black) re-gripped with them not long ago. Overall, I'm satisfied and they're just aesthetically amazing.
    What's in the bag:
    Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
    Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff
    Irons: MP-60 3-PW ~ True Temper Tour Concept S3
    Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08
    Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

    Re: Clubs slipping out of my hand.

    I play in Florida where the summer heat and humidity is ridiculous. I have been having the same problem lately with my non-gloved hand sweating and sliding on the grip. I've started to carry talcum powder in my bag and dust my hands with it every 2-3 holes. Seems to really help (though the powder can get all over your grips). I would recommend giving this a shot.
    Driver: Launcher, 10.5°
    Fairway: Big Bertha 2007, 15° & 18°
    Hybrid: Rapture, 21° & 24°
    Irons: Big Bertha 2006, 5 - PW
    Wedges: Vokey, 52° & 56°
    Putter: White Hot XG, Rossie
    Ball: HX Hot

    I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced.

    If your hands are that sweaty try carrying a dry towel in your hand to absorb the sweat and when your ready to hit just drop the towel down and hit.
