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.

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.

The CP2 Grip is Golf Pride's softest performance grip. CP2 features a larger lower hand, high-tack rubber and Control Core Technology for more stability.

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

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

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

      You start pushing forward at P2. You start visibly moving forward at P3. Waiting until the top is way too late, yeah.

      My Swing (Grizvok)

      By Grizvok · Posted

      100%. I've been guilty my entire time golfing of trying to fit everything imaginable into the .25 second downswing. Sometimes I think it's partly influenced by my backswing length and that if things were slightly longer on the way back, they'd be better synced up on the way down. I also kind of lack a transition. Was doing the practice swing drill today a decent bit where I was feeling like as the club got to the top, the feel of the weight was shifting me forward and initiating the fall into the lead leg. I loved this drill before for this reason and because I need to stop thinking of the golf swing as backswing and downswing.

      My Swing (Grizvok)

      By Grizvok · Posted

      Angle isn't perfect. Just found my TST alignment stick, so will make sure video angles are better in future videos. Focus right now is lower body and lower body only. If I make a single post here for the foreseeable future about anything NOT lower body focused, I need to be slapped (I will make an occasional note on unrelated stuff I might be seeing). It's not perfect by any means, but there is a decent bit I like about this swing. Lower body is definitely better than it was pre-TST meetup instruction. There are some things that are tough to see I think I'm doing better like where pressure is going into the trail foot and keeping that trail hip internally rotated. Need to keep feeling those. I think I do my best work when the trail leg keeps its flex on the backswing or at most loses a degree. Keeping the flex (but obviously not adding any) seems to help feel like I'm loading the right glute and to keep the hip internally rotated. Not totally sold on this though. I think my work on adding flow during the TST COVID-19 lessons really helped even though its been quite some time. Shift -> rotate -> shift -> rotate. I just need more out of my hips. It's not drastic, but it's everything. I think it will help sync up a lot regarding my swing and more power to boot. Unrelated note: I hate my negative spine angle.
