I'm getting my cobra amp 3 wood and my sand wedge and putter re gripped and was wondering what grips are soft and not too hard. Like multi compound golf pride hurt my hands. I was thinking golf pride niion on the two clubs and superstroke putter grip

Had the same issue a few years ago with the multi compounds. I hit a lot of golf balls between the range and playing. Loved the grips but they killed my hands. Would wake up in the middle of the night with the hands cramping. A year or so I switched over to the PURE Pro (PURE has othe models) on the recommendation of many here and have had zero issues. I've tried just a wide variety of grip brands and personally wouldn't consider a brand other than PURE. Cannot speak highly enough of the grip and the company/customer service.

Iomic Stick 2.3 are wonderful and just the right balance of soft and firm. I stopped using a glove when I got Imoic grips on all my clubs. I just changed putter grip to Super Stroke 3.0. Nice feel.

Agreed, but they may not last as long as some others.  I like the feel and they stay tacky.

I regripped with Winn lites this year and absolutely love the feel but I can't believe how fast they wear out. I do most of my drilling and practice with my 6 iron and looking at my 5 iron side by side the wear on that 6i grip is ridiculous. I'm hoping to find something similar in feel with a bit more durability. I'm also very intrigued by what I keep hearing about pure grips.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

If you like GPride grips, try the Patriot.  The red, white and blue grip.

I personally have switched to tacki-mac IT2 grips.  They're soft, sweaty wrists and arms don't effect them hardly at all.  And, they seem to be decently durable.  Plus, they are half the price of any "name brand" grip.

I tried Winn grips in the past, I've never liked them.  Not sticky enough, wear quickly

So I ended up getting the mulct compound for the soul purpose that they didn't have niions. All tough it out for a few months then get them Also got the fatso superstroke and I'm putting like I know what I'm doing now. Played my first 9 under par ever. Didn't miss anything inside of 10 feet and made two putts from around 40 or 50 feet!

    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
