The tour velvet is what I got on my new irons and I had not played that grip in a while. I'm digging them. I had been playing some "hand me up" irons (my son's) with the New Decade grips and they were good but tore up my hands. I had to start wearing a glove again (I hate wearing a glove, more unnecessary expense).

The grip that was on my clubs all through high school and some time after was the Golf Pride Tour Wrap. I didn't regrip the clubs and the grips did fine for all that time. I have played the tour velvet as well as its Lamkin counterpart. Velvets are nice, but I like the Lamkin Crossline better. You can get them in black/white, red/white, blue/white or all black like the Velvets. The blacks will show less wear. Right now I have the red multicompound New Decades. I am looking forward to trying them out on the course soon!

Used the Tour Velvets a lot in the past but having used the Lamkin Crosslines the last year or two I'll be sticking with them. The X-lines have a great tread pattern, masses of grip and they're cheap enough to replace as often as you like.

Is it just me or does anyone else here get blisters with the tour velvets but NO blisters with the tour velvet cords?

My mizunos have cords and no blisters. My wilsons have velvet regular and I get blisters....weird.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I think it happened because you are getting a better grip with the cords so yo are not gripping them as tight.

The tour velvets are alright. I use them on my woods (they came stock with them so i just went with it) I prefer the new decade multi compound on my irons and wedges, though.

I agree. Lighter grip without slippage....awesome combination.

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.

      Ryder Cup 2025

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm in the same boat.  I think the last team event I got really excited for was the 2019 Presidents' Cup.  When I first got into golf, the Ryder Cup was an event (one among many) I used to plan my schedule around to make sure I'm able to watch it.   I'm not sure I realized how close it was until I saw this thread pop up.
