The butt end of pure grip seems to have a little give compared to those tour velvet or SuperStroke. Is this normal?

Yes, the cap is a bit softer.

Thanks I think I got it right this time. It still feel softer but firm and I don’t feel shaft end.

BTW this is what adapter I’m talking about.

@hoonnirun, That black adapter is the one I use with my inflator. I believe it was labeled as a raft adapter. When I place the club in the vice, it is very easy to use at 50-54 psi.

The general rule is that your middle finger should only lightly touch the palm. If your middle finger is pressing into your palm then the grip is too small.

If you bought the combo Pure grip, it’s a bit harder to install than their other grip’s because the rubber is thicker at the bottom. If you have mask tape or blue painters tape, you can put that on the shaft and the grip will slide on better. 
 

I use the Pure adapter (green thingy). I believe @ChetlovesMer uses something else that works equally well.

What do you mean by "combo"? I have the DTX grips and am not aware of anything combo like the New Decades MC

They came out with a grip like the MCC+4 from Golf Pride last year. But instead of one style top to bottom, it has the DTX in the top half and Pro in the bottom. The bottom section is reduced taper.

I would not switch. I didn’t like the combo. The DTX is a great grip.

I consider that an old myth. It's more about comfort - grip size doesn't materially affect how your wrists/hands work near impact.

Can you back up what you're claiming between the lines?

    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
