Please help me to pick out a grip.

Here's my criteria:

I like a tacky grip because I get some twisting on the downswing sometimes.
I don't like too rough feeling of a grip (like some cords)
I don't like too soft of a grip (like most tour wraps)
I don't like a grip that gets slick too quickly after it wears a little

I tried the Tour Velvets and they are OK...but I still get some twisting now and then
I tried the Golf Pride Corded Wrap and it feels too rough and a little too slick
I tried the Golf Pride Tour Wraps and those are good (nice and tacky) but a little too soft

I was thinking of possibly the GP New Decade Multi Compound or the Lamkin Crosslines or Winn PCI Hybrid
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Winn PCi Hybrid grips - very nice!

Are they "tacky" enough? I felt these at the store and all the Winn grips felt "slicker" than the other brands to me. It's hard to tell until you hit with them, but do you think these will twist on me? Are they as tacky as tour wraps?

The slickness you experienced with the demo grips might be a product of multiple customers handling them, i.e., the accumulated oil on the grips. I've never had any twisting issues with the grips either. But, like you noted, you really have to hit with them to get the full effect.

Lamkin Crossline Sof-Cord. The cord is not rough and isn't hard on the hands compared to some cord grips. The non-cord version of the Crossline sometimes feels a little slippery with sweat. Not too soft, a bit on the firmer side. The crossline pattern provides enough tackiness.

    • Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.  
    • Day 507 - 2026-02-20 Got some backswing work in on GEARS Hybrid.
    • Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.
    • Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced. 
    • oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
