I love the grips on Taylormade's clubs. For lack of a better description, they feel like tapered rubber. I guess they have a guide in the back, to assist with the player's grip (muscle memory, etc.). I'm thinking about replacing the grips on my clubs with these grips. Has anyone tried this?

The only thing is, I haven't hit a ball with one of their clubs, so I may not like them on the course. Anyone who plays TM's with these grips have an opinion on them?

Thanks,

Rob

I use a lot of Taylormade clubs and I find their grips to be very mediocre. I like the feel of of Tour Wrap Cords much better. I don't really need the aid, and the grip is not as sticky as other grips.

I hate the grip on my Superquad, and am looking forward to replacing it - there is just something not right with it IMHO.

Will either be sticking on a GP Tour Velvet (same as irons) or multi-compound in the next week or 2. Which ever one I go with, it will go on the 3 & 5 woods at the same time also

I can't stand anything that is Tour Velvet... they just dont hold up. Cords really chew my hands up but they are an amazing grip performance wise.

I played with a japanese woman last summer who brought home a club when she went home to visit family... anyways, I guess she won a callway hybrid and the club had an Iomic grip... holy **** these are amazing. They are so tacky its unreal... only downside, the price

I believe they are close to 150 for a set of 13

edit: just went back to their site to verify the price, 187 for 13... yup, probably not going to happen.

I played with the Taylormade grips on my 3 Burners (see signature) when I originally purchased them and liked the grips very much...however, I have changed the shafts in all three clubs (see signature) and went with the Golf Pride Tour Velvet because Edwin Watts did not have the Taylormade grips in stock and I did not want to wait...but they worked fine for me...hope this helps...

Cool...thanks for the input. I'm going to have my 8-iron re-gripped just to see how it performs. Pretty good reviews here: http://www.golfsmith.com/products/18723

I started playing with a set of hogans that had reminder cords running along the bottom, so I guess I'm somewhat accustomed to the feel...hence the affinity for the TM's

Thanks

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
