anyone have a bad thing to say about these? I am thinking of getting some for my clubes. I like te twotone rubber looking ones...

I bought the G8s near the beginning of the season (Mayish) and I replaced the driver one yesterday. I sold my irons so I don't know how long they would have lasted but I golf about 3 times a week, which isn't all that much yet the grips didn't hold up nearly as long as even the stock grips.

I replaced the G8 with the Golf Pride MultiCompund on the driver and at the advice of the club fitter I went up to a Midsize grip and it has given me a bit more control over the club face - a little less flippy. It lets me swing a bit more aggressively without the fear of pulling the ball as much. If they work out good I will be regripping all my clubs this winter with them.

I was a fan of Winn grips but after using them I will no longer use them.

I just installed some Winn's on my wifes clubs this past weekend. I don't like them & would never use them, feel way to soft & spongy. She likes them because they are soft & pink.

I can't see anyway they would hold up very long with getting regular use.

thanks for your advice, i might check with the local golf course and see what they recomend as for the sizing. I just want to replace my corded grips for sure.

so your saying they look good, but thats about it? shoot... cause i did like the looks and the colors but if they feel like crap then no sense in wasting money on them

I'm saying that I dont like them, obviously there are people out there who do like them since they seem to sell a lot of grips. Your opinion regarding them may be totally different. Go down to your local golf shop & see if they have some clubs with a few different brands of grips on them to find the ones you like.

I regripped last time with Winn Excel-AVS grips. I love the feel of them, but they don't last as long as other less soft grips. They are very good when slightly moist, but when they get too much water on them they feel like somebody put Armor All on them. Next time I will probably go with Golf Pride.

I used to be a Winn Grip guy, but when Golf Pride came out with the New Decade, I switched and will never go back. Since the switch, I dont have to re-grip my clubs 3-4 times a year. Winn are nice and soft, but they just dont last long enough, and you lose a little feel with them.

thanks guys for all your input. I will probably regrip one of my clubs with the wingrip and try it out myself. I just dont want to spend $50 to re grip and not like them or have them wear out super quick

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
