Does anyone use white colored grips. I am thinking about getting new ones and was wondering if the white got really dirty. I do not mind washing or taking care of the grips, as I always keep my clubs clean. I am thinking about getting the new decade multicompound grips from golf pride since they come in the midsize and I really like the white color. Thanks!

I had white Winns at one point and they got dirty pretty fast...they sure look nice on a black shafted driver though.

I imagine they would get pretty dirty, even with diligent cleaning. I have black and blue grips and the blue gets fairly dark as the season progresses... whenever I clean them (every 10-15 rounds) I am shocked at how dirty they were.

Also, think of your gloves... do they stay prestine very long... I know mine don't. I would also guess that if you have any black grips, then the rubber would transfer to the white ones pretty easily by way of hands and gloves and also by them in the bag.

I wouldn't do it... but I guess it just depends how often you want to clean them and how much you care if they stay pearly white.

I have one of these on my Driver and so far it isn't discolored or anything, i've had it since the spring.

Good points guys. I think I will just stick with the black and blue ones then. I also thought the grips might show scuff marks from putting my clubs in and out of the bag.

The one thing that is being missed is the advantage of them showing dirt. If you have a black or blue grip that doesnt show dirt... does that mean they arent dirty? The benefit of a white grip is the ability to tell when it is time to clean your grips. Having said that... I live in Florida and play 4-5 times a week. I have the white Iomic Sticky grips and wash them about every three weeks.

They look great for the first couple of rounds and that is it. I took mine off pretty early and got some black GP Brushed Cotton's

I have the both white Iomics and Multicompound grips. You must wipe them down. I use windex and hot water and works pretty well. They are not worth having if you're not anal about cleaning them.

But if you are anal about cleaning them are the Iomics worth it?

This may sound OCD like but I clean mine every week (club heads after each round), regardless of use during a round or at the range. My neighbors must think I am crazy hauling a golf bag in and out of my trunk when it's 25 degrees out. I have the New Decade whites but from cleaning them with a brush it faded them and I would like to replace with the Iomics. Also I actually prefer the feel of the Tour Velvets, are any of the Iomics similar?

Iomic fusion are the comparable grips to the Golf Pride Cord... the Iomic X-Grip are the closest to the tour velvet... Iomic Stickys have the best feel...imo

    • Strata are decent clubs for newbies, usually furnished in a complete boxed set, with putter and bag. They're an excellent way to get going in the game and to see if you want to stick with it. If you don't, you're not out too much money but if you want to progress, you should get fit and buy better clubs with newer technology that will help you out. Most places I know of (ie: Golf Galaxy / PGA Store) charge you for the fitting which is then credited back to you when you buy the clubs, so it's essentially free. (I know GG does that...not sure about PGA.) Once you have clubs that fit you rather than you having to maybe contort yourself to fit the clubs (depending on your height/arm length/swing characteristics) you can progress and get better. Ultimately though, as the saying goes, "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."
    • There is no dispersion data presented but based on your average smash factor, I would guess that you're hitting the ball pretty much in the middle of the face, or pretty darn close to it. If that's the case I might suggest the Titleist GT3. It's not quite as forgiving as the TSR2 but if you hit the ball in the center of the face, as you seem to be doing, you'll feel the ball absolutely explode off the tee. (That's what I feel anyway with my TSR3.) I also think you might be launching the ball too high. There's an optimal launch/spin chart on the Titleist website that you should look at. You might want to dial down your hosel setting on your driver from A1 to D1 for example.
    • Yeah I really want to avoid the rabbit hole if I can  🤣 I'm not sure I'm going to make my lesson Tuesday though, whatever I did to the back of my hand at the range is getting worse, but that's a whole separate issue 🤣  
    • Rory becomes the second person after Tiger to pass $100 million in earnings on the PGA Tour. Earnings always favor recency since purses go up. Scottie's first win was in 2022, but he's already at $75 million with "only" 18 professional wins. Rory McIlroy $100 million career earnings PGA Tour, joins Tiger Woods Until Sunday, Tiger Woods was the only golfer in the history of the PGA Tour to surpass $100 million in career earnings. Now he has company.  
    • Can't tell 100% from your videos but if your right hand is too far underneath the grip the tendency for most folks is to roll it close through impact little too early. Try putting your right (trail) hand more on the side of the grip instead of underneath at address for a simple enough adjustment. This might help. In general match-ups matter greatly and you might have to make corresponding changes. I wouldn't even begin to suggest whatever those might be. Best to get a good pro to help. Self-diagnosis/experimentation can work for some but for most it's a rabbit hole.
