Grips

[burr]

This Masters takes me to equipment questions for you all;  what grip is the best overall for good positive play without having to consider stuff like weather or sweat or wear ect.  Same style for woods vs. irons ?  Short irons ?  Until this season it seems that (as advertised) Titleist was the pros' choice for golf ball, Is it this way for grips also with the pros ?  Do they all use corded grips ?  How about today at the tournament, I'm watching them warm up in the rain and it got me wondering.  I'm comfortable with tour wrap grips on my woods (I was a Sergio fan before his fit this year and installed Lamkin tour wrap) and my ping eye2 irons have a corded winn type grip just because I haven't changed them out like I should.  Years ago, I used tour wraps on all clubs, they were so comfortable.  But they were really slick when in the rain.  and my pings came with the corded winn type grips.  My grip on the club is a relaxed light grip and I have no problem with sweating hands and do not wear a glove (I see no need at this time).

Opinion and choice and experience is appreciated ...

Wow, you're asking a lot.  I can't answer that question because I consider weather, sweat and wear to be big factors in my choice of grips.     

Several members here are sold on Pure grips, give them a look.   Golf Pride seems to be the most popular but it's a personal choice.   Up until just recently I had corded grips and they worked very well in all conditions.

Most popular grip on tour and in golf in general is still the plain old Golf Pride Tour Velvet. Every company makes some version of it.

yes, this is more for your general input, personal preferences, ect.  I need to replace my irons NOW and there,'s so much to look at, I just wanted a direction to steer maybe.  Thanks

Golf Pride Z-cord are about the most abrasive you can get. You can hold on with those being soaking wet.

I try not to ask a lot of anybody anymore but these factors mentioned are ones I try to avoid on the course, I don't play in the rain intentionally,  hands stay dry normally, and I'd like a durable grip that will last a reasonable period of use.

Hot, humid and sweaty down here.  I’m a huge fan of the GP  New Decade Multi-Compound.  They grip similar to the full cords back in the day, but feel a lot softer in the hands.  Reasonably resilient too.  I generally get 2 seasons, about 200 rounds, out of a set...

I’m a fan of these too and I deal with sweat a lot. I’ve gone to the MCC +4 in midsize. I really like the feel.

I've been using the Golf Pride CP2 grips for 2+ years now and love them.  They have a soft feel, have been great in all weather and last.

I use mid-sized Tour Velvets.  I clean them, regularly, with warm water and a vegetable brush.  They last for years that way.

I play with the Golf Pride MCC Plus 4 Align grips.  Grips are all about what feels good to you, both regarding size and texture/firmness.  These check all the boxes for me.  Like Piz said above, cleaning them is essential.  It helps them last and maintain the new grip feel.

GP MCC+4 here also.  I tried the Aligns but wasn't impressed so went back to reg MCC+4.  I play in all weather and like some cord.  I clean them regularly but replace them every year. You get one new one and soon realize how badly they need replacing, a little wear but mostly due to hardness and slippery after a year for me. I played over 150 posted rounds last year, plus numerous practice sessions and some scrambles
