A friend of mine has a new Cleveland Black 265 driver, and I noticed the grip on it is a lightweight non-cord rubber grip from Golf Pride, the Tour 25:

I have a couple on order, but wondering if anyone was using/has tried this grip?  Should be a MUCH nicer alternative to the Winn Lite grips for us tinkerers!

Don't care much for the rings around the bottom.  But if it's a decent grip, I'll let that slide.

I stuck one on my burner superfast 2.0 driver this am before golf.  I had removed the stock winn 25 gram grip and put a golf pride tour wrap on there (50 gram.).  DON'T let anyone tell you in doesn't matter.

I was not feeling the head and not hitting it as well.  Then I found out Golf Pride made a rubber lightweight grip.  I ordered it and like it very much.  Good control (it was 95 and humid here today).  The swingweight was restored and I hit the driver better.

No idea how it will wear but am satisfied today.  It was better than expected.

I also bought a winn dri tec 25 gram grip but liked the feel of the golf pride rubber one better.  I may stick in on when if the golf pride grip wears out.

OK, here's the 411 on these new grips. Excellent grip, tour velvet feel, increased the SW 4 pts. The SW increased club head feel on the way down, cuts through the turf & rough with ease, more solid powerful center contact, straighten out my weak fades, increased distance = everything I was looking for.  BE CAREFUL INSTALLING THEM, THEY TEAR EASILY IN HALF. Use lots of grip lube,  a starter, a vise, & 2 hands and work them down.  Higher swing weight clubs will help slower swing speeds. You have to be stronger to swing heavier SW irons or it will tire you out playing 18. Check your clubs SW specs 1st at the MFG. Start with using lead tape properly on the club head at the range until you can the club head on the downswing. Then you can remove the tape after installing a lighter grip later.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
