I need some new grips. Used the Winn Excel for year, too soft and wear out fast. Used the Winn Pci half cord this last 8 months, too firm. Seen the Lamkins and they look nice. Golf Pride, etc.. so many choices. I am working on an island (Nantucket) and it costs me $200 to go look at grips on the mainland. Making this purchase blind. Any suggestions?

Ummm john daly released some really nice leather grips.

I use golf pride tour velvet grips and I think they're pretty good.

I have used the Golf Pride Multi Compound for the last season, I like them alot, draw back is colored front part gets very dirty, very fast. We usually play 2 rounds per day on the weekend in the heat all summer and I spend quite a bit of time cleaning them. Now later this year a friend gave me a Golf Pride Tour Velvet cord with the BCT Brushed Cotton Tech. and these are sweet. Put it on the 3 wood and it was firm but soft feel. All in all I will most likely re-grip when needed to the BCT Tour velvet. They come in Red and Blue

I had my irons gripped with Lamkin Crossline Midsizes last spring and pretty much hate them, they're terrible in humid conditions. I know they're popular, but I found them useless here in hot conditions, they would be slick just from the humidity.

I love Golf Pride New Decades, they're the perfect blend of feel, durability, and ability to handle humid/rainy conditions. I just hate the price.

I recently grabbed some of the Victory dual durometer grips from Golfsmith for $3/ea. They feel very good, but I can't really speak to their warm weather capability.

I'd love to get ahold of the grips they use on new Pings, the ones they put on the G15 woods, they feel great.

Same as many others said, Golf Pride's New Decade Multicompound. They perform well no matter what the condition. The Tour Velvet is nice too, and they're a bit cheaper, but the NDMC is worth the price for me. I don't think you could go wrong with them.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet. Excellent grips at an excellent price ($5 installed). I have my clubs regripped each season and this strikes me as the way to go. They aren't cords, but at a third of the price and regripping each year they are hard to beat (and while cords do last longer I don't see them lasting 3 seasons of heavy use).

I recently got new grips for my woods - Winn PCi TL, midsize. I got a free one for my driver at a demo day and loved it so much I went and used a gift card to get ones on my 3- and 5- Woods. I like the firm feeling.

My hybrids have what I believe to be the stock grip for Nike hybrids of that year. I like the feel just fine and have no intent to change it.

My irons and wedges have Golf Pride for Mizuno M-21, which I believe to correspond to GP 58 round. I see no particular reason to change them, although the grips on the woods and hybrids are a bit more firm. I don't know if I want that on my irons/wedges.

I know I need to change the grip on some of my irons before too long, as they're wearing out, so I'll be watching this thread for ideas. Thanks for bringing it up.

Golf Pride tour velvet or lampkin crossline black. Why, because I am cheap. I like the feel of them and for the money, can't beat them.

Palying gloveless, full cord is the best way to go. 1/2 cord grips are a menace - get 1/2 cords and blistered frustration is surely in your future.

Mizunos - GP Players Softie wrap full cord (or something like that) - great grip, but they feel too dry when it's cold out (if that makes sense). I highly recommend these grips.

Hogan 1: Lamkin Crosslines. They feel good, but I've never played these in rain. Fingers crossed.

Hogan 2: GP Tour velvet full cord. The gold standard. Can't go wrong.

MacGregor MT - original leather. Mint condition. I don't play these in the rain. On a warm (not too hot) day though - very cool.

Woods - Lamkin mid size (too small = snap hook, too large = block)

Cleveland, Ram, and Powerbilt persimmons: leather - soo nice - they feel like putters.

I really like the basic Callaway Universal grip. Even regripped the X-Forged SW and the Slazenger 5W with these.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
