Taylormade Grips

[roverT7]

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.

Taylormade grips suck.

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
