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.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

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.

    • Day 278 6-7 wrist arch, arms lowering in front. Recorded and hit foam balls. 
    • Day 7 (7 Jun 26) - More work w/7i, hard foam balls and Divot Board….focused on tempo and getting face squared at impact based on divot track.  
    • So, you are currently playing right handed but do you Cary a left-hand club just in case you need it for better stance? I cannot play left-handed at all but always thought this would be a good idea if I could hit left-hand.
    • Best Seasons of All Time | Data Golf Best round and event-level strokes gained performances since 1983.   Going back to 1983 adjusting for field strength, Woods has the top 6 seasons by strokes gained. from Data Golf Scheffler has the 7th  8th, 12th and 15th. Woods has three other seasons in the top 20.    Also notable is Rory's highest rated season in the 28th best season. 44 year old Jack Nicklaus has the 36th highest strokes gained season.
    • Hi Everyone,  i ordered a new Qi 35 Driver, 10.5*, Regular Flex Diamoana shaft. Received by Fed X on Thursday, June 4th.  Took to Precision Valley and had a "Jumbo Grip" installed.  Friday morning, headed to Claflin, Ks. and played 18 holes. Front 9 wasn't to bad but I had hit my budddy's Qi with better success. Finally got a little more accustomed to the new club. I shot a 50.  Back 9, I started hitting the driver really well with the Driver delievering longer and straight drives down the fairway.  On my last drive, it was about 230 off the tee. I shot a 53.  (We play for .10/hole; $1.; Birdie; $5 or an Eagle. I won $0.60)  I was tired and headed home. (46 miles one way to play this course but the yearly rate is very cheap. They also have grass greens instead of sand.) I pull my Golf cart with a trailer.My nearest course witrh grass greens  is 25 miles away. Saturday,  I had the iPhone in do not disturb. Finally took it off of DND and I had a text from my golfing buddy that he wanted to play Hays late afternoon. So, he came by, picked my up and we headed to Hays. I was tired from playing 18 holes Friday and was hoping I could play 9 holes and call it a day. At Hays, KS.. I started off pretty rough and just could't seem to relax enough to hit well. (I was planning of finishing the front nine and the go home. However, on hole number 8, it's a 322 yard par 4, and I was able to get on in 2 and 2 putt for a par. #9 hole is a 114 yard par 3 and I hit an 8 iron and landed on the west edge of the fringe for pin high. Chipped up and 1 putted for another par. Front nine = 53 Headed to the back 9. Eerything started to click and #10 = 6; #11=5, #12 = 5, #13 = 4, #14 (Par 5) on in 3 and 2 ptted for par [Driver, 3 wood, and 9 iron and 2 putts] , #15 Par 4; I had a 6, #16 Par 4, I had a, #16 I had a 5, #17 Par 5,  I had a 5. (Driver, 3 wood, 3 wood, 8 iron, 1 putt; #18 Par 3, I had a 4.     BACK 9:  I SHOT A 45!   Yes sir, I like this Driver. I would like to go out again tomorrow but will see how I feel. My goal is to shoot my age before I turn 80 year old.  So, backto Right handed clubs. Qi35 TaylorMade Driver, 3 Wood, Callaway Rogue; 5 Wood Callaway Rogue, Majek Hybrids 4-PW, A Wedge, Loft wedge (60*); White Hot Blade Putter.    When I decided to change to the new driver, I went back to playing right handed. My hybrids are failrly new and are easier to hit. I do carry a conventional 7 iron in case I ge into a bad rough.  I will keep you up to date as the summer moves on.   Blessings,  RetiredOldMan
