I'm looking for a good grip and I don't want to have to worry about changing them a lot. Can anyone recommend a durable grip that will last a while?

any corded grips are gonna last you awhile. bit more harsh on the hands, not the softest, but corded grips such as tour velvet full cord are gonna last you the longest time.

I'd have to go with the Golf Pride Tour Velvets. They last a while, and are pretty comfortable.
Stay away from Winn grips, they do no last.

What I've found is that it's not always the type of grip that determines how long it lasts but also how you store your clubs. If you keep your clubs indoors in a climate-controlled room (your closet or in an extra bedroom), your grips will last a lot longer than if you store them in your garage or in your car's trunk.

a 59* wedge?

a bit picky are we? I think grips last longer if you store them properly too, baking them in the boot of your car can't be good for them.

I would agree, also, cleaning them helps. The oils and sweat from your hands will work to break down grips. I clean my grips with warm soapy water and a soft bristle brush after about 10 rounds. Also I clean them before putting them away for the winter.

I use the Golf Pride New Decade and feel they wear very well with a little care.

I use the Lamkin Perma Wrap Classic and Golf Pride Tour Wrap. Both hold up well. You do need to clean them with a mild soap and water about every 20 rounds or so to keep then tacky.

In my opinion Golf Pride New Decade Multicompound are by far the best, most comfortable and most durable grips on the market at the moment

While I agree with cleaning them with mild soap and water I would suggest doing it every 4-8 rounds….20 rounds of hand sweat and grime will start breaking the grips down quickly.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.
