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?

    • Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere. 
    • First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!! 
    • Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.
    • Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going. 
    • I read about him.  Hopefully we have a good “Next Generation” in PGAT future
