What's so special about them? Do they feel REALLY NICE? I'll dish out the $18 for a really nice grip, but won't if they aren't that great.

Floppy,
I tried one out and just did not like it. I really like the grip that comes on the Odyssey putters.

I have one on my putter and love it. It pretty much the same grip that is on the Scotty Cameron Studio Style. Great Feel.

I have one on my Odyssey Black Series i #9. I really like this grip, it took a week to wear down a bit so that it had a sort of powdery soft feel. Once you achieve that soft feel, the grip is amazing. Great traction and doesn't need to be cleaned all that often. My stroke seems smoother and more relaxed as a result of this feel. There is a great variety of colors as well. Only thing to note is that this grip is slightly thicker than the Pingman grip or the Cameron pistol grips even at standard size.

I agree with the above posters. Very nice grip. I currently have a spared Yellow mid sized iomic putter grip which I will use when my current grip wears out.

I'm planning to regrip my driver with Iomic Sticky grip. They are pretty steep at $15 a piece.

How's Iomic Sticky compared to Golf Pride Tour Velvet? Is it rubber feel or leather feel?

Very rubbery, I hate it. Then again I like cords. I got mine for 2 bucks a piece clearance at edwin watts, thank god I didn't pay a lot for them cause I switched them out a week later. I prefer the tour velvet over the iomic sticky any day.

Like I said, "clearance at edwin watts" apparently iomic sent them a bunch to try out and no one bought them. It was in store purchase, I had diff colors on each club but that doesn't change how they felt.

They're pricey but I just recently tried out the Stickys and they've been unreal. They feel alot traction wise like tour velvets but once you start using them it almost felt like they softened up and became even more tacky.

Overall really liked the feel and after a few swings you notice the difference in the material, its a polymer, not a rubber, and feels pretty cool. I'm definitely impressed.

I don't think they are worth the price tag. I've tried them when I was using the J33's and wasn't blown away by them. GP tour velvets will do you just fine.

Agreed with wrx. tour velvets are more than enough. The iomic tackys are WAY too tacky and soft.

GP Cords are good grips but they are complete opposites... cant even compare the two. My cords on my protos wore out in no time. My iomics have lasted two years so far... and they do gain more feel after they are broken in.

I've got the Iomic's on my woods, but went with the Tacki Mac corded Itomic's on my irons and they are a LOT nicer. Time to re-grip my woods! Go with the black ones though...the white look good but dirty too quick!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
