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.

buy the Tacki Mac Itomic's - better than the real Iomics and only 3.79/grip

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!

    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
    • Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
