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

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
