I used the non cord version of these sharpro's when I re-gripped my last set of irons, they felt just like the golf pride ones. I can't comment on how long they will last though because I sold the irons a couple of months later. I would certainly use them again.

I haven't played them before but used to always put knock-off grips on my clubs. In my experience, the knock-offs are great when they are new, but they wear out much faster. I used to use Tour Velvet knock-offs and would change them twice a year. When they go bad, it is really bad. The cost was actually a little less than getting the original, even changing them twice. Now I just pay a little extra and put the real grips on and change them once a year.

Now, if you don't play a whole bunch, and you can't tell that much difference anyway, it is probably a great deal. I know plenty of people who will never change grips, just because they don't know the difference and just don't care about their grips. If you play a lot, they are going to wear out before you know it and you will be doing it all over again.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.


Sharpro are not knockoff anything. The company (Sharpro) actually makes many "name brand" grips for the OEM's. You may be playing them right now and not know it.

They are quality grips. As good and as long lasting as just about anything on the market. You could pay more, but why?

I've used them on my clubs for years.

Buying tip: You can find them on Overstock for less than that auction. Look for an Overstock coupon too....

I've heard mixed reviews when I was looking into grips so to have peace of mind I went with Golfpride and Lamkin.

havent tried the real new decades, but these sharpros are my favorite grips so far. I prefer em to tour velvets and the other standards. prefer them over winns as well.

all other grips i would consider as an alternative are at least twice as much in price so seems like these will be my grip of choice for a long while.

(*tip!: wait til TGW has their holiday sales and they go on sale for about 2.70 a grip or so)

Sharpro's quality is right there with all the top "NAME" brands without the high cost. Don't let anybody tell you different. Also check into KARMA grips at Hirekogolf.com

I think they're knockoffs of the New Decades and I'd just get the real thing rather than potentially waste money on a copycat.

to befair ... sharpro owns the patents to the multicompound technology and they sold rights to make similar grips to Golf Pride ... if anything Golf Pride is a knock off of the Sharpro tech.

With Golf Pride's large PGA Tour presence, and "knock-off" rights to make the same grip as the Sharpro.. you now have your formula for why GP grips cost 2-3 times as much as other grips, that perform just as good.

Why pay more.. unless you are brand •••••

I just got my whole set re-gripped with Sharpro multicompounds. So far so good with performance after 3 weeks of 3-4 times a week play. The test is going to be what they feel like after 3-4 months of this type of usage. At this moment i would not hesitate to buy again.

I've used the Sharpro multi-compound grips for several months now. They are well worth the money. I also play 3-4 rounds/week and they still have very good grip and tack. Much better than many other grips I've seen after this amount of play. Would not hesitate to buy them again. New, I think the Sharpro's and GP's feel a little different but can't say one is better than the other.

I've been using mine for a few months as well. On average I'd say a round every other day..... not too much driving range.

They do tend to pick up dirt/grime and start slipping.... They get pretty bad for me after 1.5-2 months.... but they clean up very nicely and as good as new after.

I think the GP version looks to be of a SLIGHTLY better quality... And I like their more diverse color options. I get my sharpros about 2.75 a grip.... I'd happily pay maybe a buck more per grip for the GP version..... but any more than that and I can't justify it.

I know the whole saying you get what you pay for, but I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with these grips. I am looking @ regripping my set of clubs cause the stock grips are starting to wear. I was considering using the Golf Pride New Decade Multi Compund Grips but they are so damn expensive. So before spending double the price of these Sharpro grips I was just wondering somones thoughts of them. Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes they are worth it. I've been playing them since early this spring and don't plan switching to anything else. They were really nice during the heat of the summer when my hands stayed wet. I just bought a set of Bridgestone J38 irons and will be re-gripping them with the Sharpro's very soon. I was worried about durability but that hasn't been a problem. I play 2-4 times a week and would have no problem getting a year out of the grips I put on last spring. They are still in very good shape. You can't go wrong with them.

I too have used the Sharpro Multi Compound, black and white. They have played very well for me and I will continue to purchase them and put them on my clubs.

I started this same thread about a month ago, and I decided to get sharpros. I kinda like them better than golf prides since they are softer, so they are defiantly worth it. I just bought more for $45 bucks off ebay for 13.

    • Day 297: back to mirror work tonight. Working on slow movement for feels from the wrist stuff. 
    • Day 22: 5/13/25 Putting through gates and weight shift drills with a wedge.
    • I would be happy to hang out with you guys but as of now @DaveP043 and I are planning to stay in Cranberry Township. There’s a bit of travel between the two places, but maybe we can work something out.
    • Personally I have no issues with even the steroid-era figures such as Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa being inducted into the hall. My reasoning there is we already have nearly a half-dozen known steroid users in the hall, including those inducted after their steroid usage was already common knowledge. David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez (as well as Ivan Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, and Todd Helton) both failed the same wave of anonymous drug tests that saw Sammy Sosa shunned by the nation, and he's in the hall. Piazza admitted to using Andro (the same thing McGwire was juicing with) and amphetamines. Greenies were commonplace in MLB clubhouses and used by countless stars, alongside cocaine, from at least the 60's all the way up until the early 2000's. There are at least a dozen other pros in the hall that have allegations from teammates who claim to have directly witnessed steroid usage. Even Nolan Ryan has stated that he thought steroid usage was a widespread problem in the sport as early as the mid to late 70's. I'm of the opinion that once that genie is out of the bottle, and it most certainly has been for decades now, it's a bit silly to pretend those already inducted are somehow morally superior for being not quite as astronomically and suspiciously good at baseball when using steroids. Hitters were using steroids, pitchers were using steroids (funny how we saw the number of complete games fall off a cliff at the same time that steroid enforcement was being ramped up), it's an even playing field as far as I'm concerned. To quote The Incredibles, "When everyone is super, no one will be".  As for Pete Rose it would appear that by all accounts he never bet as a player and only ever bet on his own team while managing. It's understandable to prohibit any involvement in the sport after it was discovered, but it's not something that gave him any advantage in reaching his level of achievement in the sport.  As for Joe Jackson, I personally don't think he should have been banned in the first place. He actively refused the bribe, tried to report the plot to the owner of the White Sox, and his alleged confession only occurred after the White Sox's team attorney got him roaring drunk immediately prior to the grand jury testimony. Every confessed conspirator also stated that he never attending any of their meetings or discussed plans with them. Not to mention the fact that if he WAS trying to fix the series he did an absolutely terrible job of it considering he was the best performing player on either team by far setting a World Series record that stood until 1964 and went error-free while gunning down at least one runner at home plate. 
    • Day 7: 5/13/2025 Range day today. Had a really good session. I was able to pull a mirror over into my stall and make a slow-mo swing in the mirror and then try to duplicate the swing to hit a ball.  Felt really good today. Tomorrow will be league night.
