Hi,
I used to have a set (Ben Hogan Apex) with grip with ridge about 10 years ago on. I believe it wasn't stock grips. And I had a chance to hit few balls on Titleist AP2 set from a KPGA tour golfer and the set's grip had the ridge. Now I have Mizzy mp57 and would like to change grips on them and want the M21 grip with ridge. Where can I find grips like that? GolfGalaxy told me only Ping grip has one for their shop. I thought it can be made when grip is replaced. Anyone?

They're called "ribbed" grips, and you can get many grips in either round, or ribbed. The style I use, crossline, for example, comes in ribbed.

GolfSmith has them - Golf Pride's 'Tour Velvet' line comes in 'ribbed' (for your pleasure ). I'm sure other brands have them, but I'm a 'Tour Velvet' fan for feel plus durability.

I have ribbed grips on all my clubs, except for my sand and lob wedges. I don't put ribbed grips on those because I like to open the face, close the face, etc for certain shots and then the rib doesn't really serve it's purpose of reminding you where your grip should be. It seems to get in the way on those types of shots.

The guy at GolfSmith (really helpful), told me that if you look inside the small end of the grip there is a number and a letter. The number is the 'core size' and the letter (if there is one) will be an 'R'. Here's where it gets tricky... the 'R' does NOT stand for Ribbed! The 'R' stands for ROUND. My guess is at first Golf Pride's line of grips was only one or two models and most were ribbed, so they used the 'R' designate ones that were 'round'.

oh...here's another site that appears to have a good 'grip discussion' going, too.

Anyway... that may be more than you wanted to know, but I found it interesting. Here's a link to Golf Pride's site that has a run-down on diameters and ribs for the 'Tour Velvet' line.

btw - outside diameter is important, too... get one club done with a regular and another, a 7 and an 8 for instance, done with an oversize or undersize grip (depending on which way you're leaning) and try them out. You'll find that the oversize might straighten your shots out a bit (if you tend to hook it) or a smaller grip size might help you draw it a bit more if you tend to push it. You can also build up with tape, too.

I have Golf Pride Tour Velvets on my irons, and I asked for a rib when I was fitted. Is a ribbed grip just a regular grip with a special insert in it? The back of the grip just says Tour Velvet.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
