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.

You’re free to consider anything you like….

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

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
