Played there simulator for the first time today... Really enjoyed it.

On topic, I personally like the grips right in the middle.  Little on the firm side.

I've been through sharpro, lamkin, gp, karakal,etc etc.  I like a firm tacky grip (I dont like wearing a glove and I live in very humid conditions).  I just installed performance plus (non-3gen) on all 13 clubs for $29 shipped (I installed).  These grips are geat.  So far Lamkin grip offerings seem to play firm and allow a relatively light grip pressure through faster swings.  I do like GP's 2gen grips but are really slippery if wet (dry they are great)

G10 (VS Proto 65 X) or 905S (speeder X) / X Tour 3W (VS Proto S) / Adams Idea Tour Proto 18* (VS Proto S) / S59 Tour, Z-Z65 Cushin (D2) / Mizuno MP-T 51-06 , 56-10, / Miz TP Mills #6 ~or~ Cleveland BRZ #5

When I had my Ping fitting, both static and dynamic fittings called for undersized grips. Well since I was able to swing a half priced set of G15's I had to regrip right away. After just 2 weeks of using undersized Winn Excels I am getting a tremendous blister on the ring finger of my right hand even wearing gloves on both hands. (I'm a righty but sometimes go the Gainey, 2 glove route). In 35 years of playing golf I have never had a blister so I guess I'm going back to a standard mens grips.

2 questions, Whats the difference between a .580 and .600 grip? Are shaft diameters different or is a sneeky way of describing slightly undersized or oversized?

Second, for those of you using Pure grips, still like them? Are they holding up well and most importantly, not slipping?

Amazon has the 13 grip and installation tool for $50, seems like a screaming deal for any grip.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
