Anyone here used the grips with the rib on the bottom?

I know they used to be really popular in the 70s. I have an old cut down practice club that has one, and I am starting to think it really fits my hands great. I always seem to be able to get comfortable with it. Think it's worth trying on the full clubs?

Btw, I couldn't resist with that title.

I play a set of MP-33s that have most irons ribbed, but the 6 & 8 irons are "smooth" as you put it. The ribbed grips are nice when I can get a proper grip on the ball. Playing blades, a consistent grip is paramount, but I tend to over-pressure the ribbed grip and also seem to hold it closed at times. I'm probably planning to re-grip all of them to more conventional grips.

My advice? If your grip is consistent and loose, go with the ribbed if you like the feel. If you're really picky with your grip, and always adjust for different shots, go with conventional. I'm the latter...

      Wow that was disingenuous. Like, let’s ignore that golfers actually rotate. It isn’t all side bend. Has incorrect or excessive side bend hurt golfers sure. In no way are golfers taught to just fling their hips towards the target. To basically claim it’s him versus this evil golf instruction industry is just disingenuous.

      I'm starting to move with some speed and confidence. Carried the fairway bunker 225 yards out on the 17th yesterday fairly comfortably. I don't think it was a one off drive either. Pretty much back to game speed. On another note it doesn't seem like my pelvis is nearly as thrusty compared to a this time last year. I hope I'm judging that correctly. It's an ongoing battle.
