Do You Use Round or Ribbed Grips?

[The Gill]

I've only been golfing 3 years and always used ribbed grips. Working the ball more, it seems like round grips may be better... Do you low handicap guys use round or ribbed grips?

I use round grips, the golf prode tour velvet to be exact. I have'nt used ribbed grips so Im not sure on the differences.

[Doctorfro]

I generally use round. I have only used the ribbed when they came that way on the club. Not sure it isn't a good idea to use them to promote a proper grip (not too strong or weak).

i much prefer ribbed grips to round ones, i always feel like i regrip at the top of my backswing with a round grip, must be a sub conscious thing

That third choice is way funny.

I do my own re-gripping. I don't have time for lining up that reminder ridge. Those ridges are a pain in the @$$ and don't help me one bit. As far as working the ball, I like round for another reason. I am not feeling the ridge in an unusual spot. Ergo, I'm less likely to focus on that instead of swinging the club.

round.. ribbed grips seem to me to be a cruch. now i have found some grips with a very slight rib in them.. ex: winn pci hybrid.. may just be were they stich the backing but it is nice.. but grips of choice right now>> MCC cords and iomic sticky's.

Rounds for me.

Ribbed always. I found my grip had a tendency to "migrate" when I used round grips. With ribbed grips I know each time I grab a club where that ridge should be. One less thing to worry about.

I can't imagine why ribbed grips would affect working the ball. Do you change your grip shot to shot in order to try and work the ball? It would seem to me that would breed big time inconsistancy. I don't work the ball all that much but I certainly can hit whatever shot I need to regardless of the shape of my grips.

I use round grips. I picked up my friends club the other day, and asked him what was wrong with his grip and realizing that it was ribbed... I felt kinda stupid, but round is what works for me.

[ganjagolfer]

i get a better feeling using the ribbed kind.

This is way to kinky. But becides that i have both. mostly because i have clubs from numerous people because most of my set was free.

I re-grip my own clubs and like round. I also like the feel as I grip the club in my finders and they just feel right. For the record I like tour velvets and hate most of the new dual durometer grips although I recently tried Lamkin's crossline tour and found it felt quite good. Take this for what it's worth, round or ribbed make sure your grip is the correct size if you want to work the ball so you can properly release the club through impact.

Does anyone plan on trying the upcoming MCC Align grip?  It sounds like a major advancement in the reminder grip category.

How?

It's a reminder rib. They've been around for decades.

Seriously, I'm asking… what's the "major advancement" in this?

Round,  I know my grip.

There's a dedicated and textured ridge on the exterior of the grip as opposed to just a bump underneath the grip.  It sounds like the "reminder" might be more prominent.

Meh. It's still just a textured raised bump.
