Fairway 1: Titleist 913F, 17*, Titleist Bassara W55

Fairway 2: Titleist 913F, 21*, Titleist Bassara W55

Pretty much the measuring guide is just that,  a guide.  Play what's comfy that doesn't much with your game.

I have medium hands and long fingers.  I'm barely in the guide for a midsize.  it's just not comfy.  I tape up to jumbo and find it perfect.  YMMV

Absolutely. Try different grips on one club and see how it works for you. If it's better (after several outings, not just a couple balls), re-grip the rest of your clubs with the new grip. If not, just re-grip the one back to what you had before.

I use Lamking REL 3 GEN White on a set of irons, and Lamkn Performance Plus Wedge Grip on the ... uhm,  Wedges. I may use the Performance Plus on the irons and woods next time as it is less tapered. yes sir The Lamkins have lasted 2 years in my irons and I use them frequently. I also clean them once per week. At the same time, I'm always looking for grips that hold in hot, humid conditions without a glove. When it gets in the high 80's, the glove comes on.

I too love these grips. I used to have some old Lamkin wraps that were 30 years old (freshly installed, were just lying in the garage) until I realized how much "grippier" the new ones felt. Not necessarily tacky, bu just less apt to let your hands slide.

Lamkin Crossline on all regularly used irons and woods. A few recently added clubs had good grips on them, but when I change, they will probably go to Crossline. I picked up a club I hadn't had in my hands in a while that had a Lamkin version of velvet cord and that has potential. I don't use a glove and the Crossline works well for me.

Lamkin Crossline Tour Cord on everything but my putter.  I hate wearing a glove and these work great even in 98% humidity in southern Ontario summers.

Do the colored grips stay looking good? Wanting some white pure pro or p2 wraps.

I have the Pure p2 wraps in white.  They stay looking pretty nice and tacky, but they do yellow a bit every time you touch them.  Even when I first put them on they looked yellow where I touched them.  It does not bother me too much it is just what happens for whatever reason.  Just wanted to let you know.

I don't know. Haven't ever used Iomic Stickies.

But perhaps a big part of the reason that people like PURE Grips is that they don't feel like Iomic Stickies (or wear out as quickly, or cost as much)?

I Think I'm going to give the Lamkin REL 3GENs a try this fall when I regrip. Price is right ($4 a pop at Golftown) and it sounds like they're a good balance of soft and firm with plenty of tackiness which I like. Been gloveless for two seasons now and have become much pickier with my grips.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Thanks to Erik, I'm a big fan of Pure Pro's and DTX Firm.  Not only do I love the feel of the Pure grips (which are on all my clubs) but also I can re-grip my clubs when ever I want without the mess of solvent all over the place.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet *midsize* on everything. I'm even thinking of getting on on my putter (I grew up with round grips on the putter).

Even though I wear a ML cadet glove (shorter than average fingers), I find I get a better grip with the midsize grips.

I've read a few comments/articles over the last few months (*after* I got my grips) that many people play grips that are too small for them.

I have to agree, GP Tour Velvet +1 wrap is the grip I like the most. I have tried a bunch of different grips and keep coming back to the Tour Velvet.

Lamkin Crossline is a very close second choice.

Lamkin Crossline for me. Tried plenty but I don't think you can beat these. Great grip and great value.

      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.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
