So I just regripped my set with the new Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G (love them, BTW), but had to come up with an interesting strategy with them based on what GolfSmith had on the rack at the time. I know I could have ordered whatever I wanted online, but I wanted to break them in before a big tournament this weekend. Anyway, here's what I came up with:

Jumbo size on the driver and my strong hybrid, because of those being what I use off the tee. True to the idea that larger size grips take the left side out of the course, I didn't hit one ball with my occasional snap hook in a practice round on Saturday.

White standard size with two wraps of tape on 3-9.

Red standard size with two wraps on my wedges, because when I'm using those I'm in the "red zone".

Anyone else get really creative with their grips? If I win the tournament this weekend, maybe I'll start a trend

In my stand bag:
Burner 09 10.5 Regular SQ Dymo 15* 3 wood A4 18* Stiff
Fli-Hi 3 & 4 hybrids; MX-20 4-PW Stiff Black Nickel 50*, Spin Milled 58* White Hot 2-Ball Belly
TP Black SG4

I used to be more creative than I am now. Several years ago I was testing different grips over the course of a year to see what I liked best. I would have 6-8 different styles through the set. Now I have a pretty good idea of what I like. I have some older Lamkin grips that I really like that I put on my driver and 3-wood. They are a discontinued style and I only have about 8 or 9 left so I try to keep them just for those clubs. This past week I regripped and have 4 different colors. The shop I got them at had a bunch of the same grips, just different colors. I did use a different color for each wedge. They all look the same and there have been times I grab all of them, get to my ball, and pick the wrong one. Now they each have a different color so I can tell which is which if they are all laying on the ground.

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

I had the problem of going left with my driver, so I put oversized grips from the same brand and compound on them as my irons. It really did help me out, and the "feel" is almost the same with the grip, so it's not a big deal.

    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin. 
    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
