My grips are killing my hands--suggestions please

[winders]

One side benefit of cord grips is you find out real fast if you are doing something wrong with how you grip your clubs.

I have Titleist (Golf Pride) cord grips on my irons and Lamkin cord grips on my woods, hybrids, and wedges. I don't have many callouses on my hands. My glove of choice is the FJ Weather-soft. I get about 24 rounds out of each glove.

Also, I am not looking for comfort from my grips. I am looking for a grip that lets me have a nice relaxed grip, in any weather, on the club and that provides good feedback. I don't get that from non-cord grips. I don't like the Winn grips because they provide very little feel and suck whne wet.

one of the best players at doral uses the tour wraps and he loves them.

Can someone answer this...

What is a cord grip?

[winders]

Cord grips have thread "cords" (i.e. strands of fabric) embedded in the grips. These grips provide more grip in more wether conditions than any other kind of grip. They also provide excellent feed back due to their firmness.

Thank you.

This thread has got me thinking about something. Some of us buy a sleeve or two of balls to try out, why not get a club regripped with one to test out? You can try it out on the range to see if you like it, even test it out on the course (depending on the club, you may not use it much there).

Seems like a small investment to ensure you are getting the grip you will enjoy. I may try that next time I go to regrip.

srjorion,

That's a great point. I did that to test out cord grips. I loved them from the first shot and now do not like non-cord grips at all. The only club in my bag that does not have a cord grip is my putter. S-

I was just about to post that.

Go to the store, play with some grips and pick out one you like and regrip one club. Play it for a few rounds and find out if you really like it. If you are unsure, repeat process.

I switched from Lamkin's to Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cords on nearly all my clubs, since I've always enjoyed cord grips. However, as I was trying different grips, I noticed I really enjoyed the New Decade Compound grips from Golf Pride as well. In the end however, I still preferred the tour velvet cords as I thought they were dominant over the other grips.

So, if you're looking for new grips, I suggest the new decade compound's for the feel combined with the responsiveness they provide. In my opinion, they are really great grips.
