I did a search and only found one thread. I like the multi-compounds and have had them for a year now. Well, they are now slick and I think it is time for some new ones.

My question is, is there a huge quality difference between the Sharpo and the GP? I want to get a good grip but if the quality of the Sharpo is just as good then I will go with them. I was basically debating between the Lamkin cords and the GP multi-compounds. I then saw the price of the Sharpos and that got me thinking....Anyway, thanks in advance.

I see them on ebay in sets for very low prices....was hoping to hear some feedback to your response.

I don't see them in stores very often, though.

I can't speak for the Sharpro grips specifically, but I used to use 'generic' grips all the time. I now use Golf Pride or Lampkin. With the generic grips you get what you pay for. They are great new, but will wear much quicker. I used to change many of them twice in a summer because they would get slick. With the good grips I only change them once.

I don't know about the Sharpro, I have heard some good things about them. I just think that for the price, they will not last as long as others.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

I have used sharpro dual compound. I have actually used 2 sets of sharpro grips, both the dual cord. They are great for 1 maybe 2 seasons. After that they do get quite slick. I like trying brands that you don't here much about. I just got karakal grips (cheap and very nice feel) no telling of durability yet

I saw a video of Fred Couples 'whats in the bag' and he had sand paper for his grips. Anyone try using sandpaper to lengthen the life of grips?

I have been using sharpro for the last 3 months, so far so good. Still don´t know how long they will last but i think that for the price (non cord multicompound: $3,3 each) they are really, really worthit. The look is very nice (can choose different colors) and the feel is great.

I exclusively use sharpro multi-compound grips think they are brilliant, and IMHO, as good as the GP grips. The only thing i noticed about the sharpro's was a little bit of colour run. but now i know this happens with the GP's, i think they are just as good. I would say, get them, you won't be disappointed.

After a little reading and research, I think I am actually going to go with a different grip altogether. I think I have decided to go with the new Tour Velvet BCT Cord grip. From everything I have read, it looks like that will be the grip for me.

I was contemplating the Sharpro grips as well over the Golf Pride's due to it being inexpensive but didn't want to risk it. Saw some unhappy reviews and didn't want to be one of them. Let me know if you do go with them and how they turn out.

I guess I didn't specify in my last post....the Tour Velvet BCT grips that I am going to go with are Golf Pride. I won't be using the Sharpos.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
