Do these grips have a effect on your ability to feel the club head in your backswing? If your driver has a weight in it, do you add more weight?

They will change the swing weight of your clubs slightly if you have a standard grip now. Not much if you stay in the same size. The GolfPride Tour Velvet is 50g and MCC+4 is 52g in standard size.  Check your current grip weight at golfworks.com.

If you go up in size, it can change swing weight a lot. I went to the midsize MCC+4, which is 66g and have to add weight to the head area.

I went from the standard MCC +4 to the Midsize MCC +4 Align grips and although I'm sure it did alter the swing weight, I can't honestly say I've noticed a difference in how the clubhead feels in the backswing, although I will add I never have been super perceptive to things like feeling the clubhead in the backswing, feeling the differences between shafts, etc.

I with you on not noticing anything about weight.  I have the MCC plus4 on my irons, coming from Tour velvet and love the way they feel.  I notice not weight difference with the change.  I have one on a couple of driver shafts and again, don’t notice a weight difference.

Next time I’m going with the Tour Velvet plus4 just to save money... they are about half the price of the MCC plus4.

    • There is 100%, incontrovertible, undisputed evidence and proof that he wasn’t winning majors from 2015 - 2024. Even though I concede that my take is laughable, I don’t think it’s laughable to say that Rory’s major drought during that period is one of the most extreme droughts in modern golf history.  Extreme meaning, with his innate and physical talent (AND his major record pre-2015), he could’ve should’ve won multiple majors during that period. If you agree with that, then the question is why?  What was preventing him from closing the deal on majors?
    • You have no proof that Rory's perceived "jackedness" was hindering him from hitting the crucial shots under pressure at the majors. I don't think his jackedness caused Rory to miss a combined like 7 feet of putts over the last 2 holes at the 2024 US Open. 
    • Not a problem chetlover, as I look back - even thought I truly believed in the take - it looks laughable.  IF - Rory had done some of the things I mentioned and lost, I’m sure I would have trumpeted how prescient I was.  But now, perhaps my take can be considered for a Wall of Shame. Colin M - - haha, he’s jacked for sure - jacked on Big Macs. Brooks and Bryson;  Brooks buffness looks pretty natural?  And Bryson - definitely on the bizarre end of the spectrum.  But for both Brooks and Bryson, they were winning majors.  Whatever jackness they had-have, natural or extreme, was not hindering them from hitting the crucial shots under pressure, at the majors.
    • Did Rory ever explain the horrible pitch on 13? Was it a miss hit?
    • ^^^ I think this year gave us something incredibly exciting, but also special. That list of career grand slam winner is something else. Well, except for Gary Player.
