I have been in the market for new grips but don't know what I'm looking for.

I would like something that doesn't slip out of my hands too much cuz I tend to sweat a lot.  I am currently testing out a WINN dry and Lamkin crossline and was told the Lamkin would be better, but in fact the WINN seems to stick better.

Any Suggestions ?

Try out the Pure grips.  I bought my first Pure grips on this site when Erik (site owner) worked out a deal with Pure for us to purchase them with the 5SK logo on them.

The grips are installed with an air compressor, (no tape, no solution, etc) and they are by far the best grips I've ever used.  My hands sweat a lot in the summer (usually rotate 4 gloves a round) and I've never had my hands slip using the Pure grips.

The 5SK grips were Pure Pro's but I've since purchased the Pure DTX which compare to corded grips and I like them even better.  They are cheaper than most competitor grips and if you own an air compressor you'll save even more money installing them yourself.

On my clubs I use a golf pride black/white multi compound. I have played with them in the rain and the club doesn't even slip! It's all to your personal preference.

I've been using the Winn - Dry-tecs OS 1/8", you need to get grip-fitted for any grip and it would be by the guy that installs them, I had slippage because I was playing a standard size grip.... They wear pretty good, 60 - 70 rounds for me on wedges and irons, but my driver death grip causes the driver grip to last only maybe 50 rounds.That also includes range work about once a week hitting 90 balls. Every golfer that touches them either Ewws or Awes them. There is a cheaper one by Lamkin or golf pride that is close to these, but I have not tried them yet....

I don't like to switch grips - I use Lamkin because typically they last a long time - when it's hot and I sweat, my first move is a "guerrilla towel." It's a towel with super tackiness that you rub on your grip and/or hands. My second move is a double wrist band I picked up on Amazon - use it on the left wrist, and I also use a glove.

I only use a glove when I must - generally, I go bare handed, as I did today, when a cool front left the temps in the low 90's. I used a little bit of the guerrilla towel.

With the Lamkin, I use the REL 3GEN, and use the Performance Plus Wedge Grips on the Wedges - I like the Wedge Grips, so the Performance Plus would also be on the "must try" list.

Another recommendation for the PURE Pro.  I sweat like crazy and never have an issue with them.  Also might want to check out the PURE P2 Wrap (if you like wrap style) because I installed those on some friends clubs and they just seemed incredibly tacky.  I have been debating trying out the PURE DTX

Can't go wrong with the PURES... And btw, Winn grips suck more than Michael Jackson at a Boy Scouts convention...

I like the Pure DTX even better than the Pro's but they are rough on leather golf gloves, even more so than corded grips.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
