It's time to re-grip my Adams Super S set (3 wood, 3 & 4 hybrid and 5-S). Have a new driver and putter, happy with stock grip on them. 

For the new grips I am looking for something with a softer feel without being as soft/slick as tradtional wrap. Anyone have something they enjoy using or recommend a particular brand/type?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I can recommend two.  My favorite grip is from Iomic, I use the X Evolution.  These grips stay tacky virtually forever.   Another really good one is from Pure grips, the DTX.  This grip is pretty firm, but really textured, and the rubber compound retains its tackiness well.  I believe they sell softer-feeling grips, perhaps someone can help point to a specific model.

When I want a grip change for the sake of trying something new, I'll do ONE club with a new grip.  Just had a Wynn Dri-Tac midsize put on my 5-hybrid.

It's kind of 'spongy,' very soft and very tacky feeling as new.  I've heard these grips will wear out quickly though.  I'll play it early next year and decide if gripping more clubs is something I want to do.Product Detail Hero

My grips are golf pride CP2 pro.   Love them on all clubs but putter.

Second these. A great grip that is very durable.

There was a thread somewhere about your favorite golf product that helps your game, or something.

My answer was my grips; Golf Pride CP2 Wraps. I absolutely LOVE these grips.I have them on every club put the putter. My stock grips were in fine condition but I don't like most stock club grips because they're too slick and thin for me. As soon as I re-gripped all my irons I was in love and in dramatically improved my game overall. I ended up doing all my clubs with them.

I grip my own clubs now too, which is kind of fun. Doesn't save THAT much money, but it's fun and I know I'm doing them right. Since I go +1 on the tape often times shops will ignore that request (I know because I re-did one for practice...)

I put a lot of play time on mine last year. I cleaned them only once about 2 months ago with warm water and Dawn and they're like new again.

I don't even ever wipe down my grips when I'm playing, or after I've played, or anything. Just a once a year or once every 6 months cleaning.

The Lamkin iline was a nice grip. Hard to find in stores these days so i switched. Had a solid firm feel with good tack. Lasted me the entire season. 1 to 2 times a week up until November 2016. Changed to Golf Pride multi compounds. They are ok not worth the price point in my opinion. Will most likely change by July of this year.

Pure Grips DTX. 

They last forever and they mimic a corded grip. I honestly can't remember when I put the grips on.

I second the Dri-Tac.  Very comfortable and has helped the finger joints as another positive.  Seemed to have lasted on my playing clubs.   I've now re gripped my practice set from the stock grips.   Can get a little slick when wet however.

September 2015? I know that's when I put one on my driver.  Did you have them before that?

@AWebb85 what I did last time I decided to go with a new style of grips, was narrow it down to 4 grips I liked, and re-grip clubs with those 4 grips.  I left them on there for a few rounds and range sessions, and then went with the one I liked best.  I have stuck with that same grip since, Golf Pride Tour Wrap

I recently regripped all of my clubs, as well as my brother who keeps his clubs at my place, and a few hand me downs for my kid sister (fringe benefit of Golfsmith going out of business was its steep discounts on grips). I put Golf Pride MultiCompounds on about 30 clubs. I did go out of my way to put the MCC Plus 4s on my wedges. I liked the softness and lack of taper for choking down for touch shots.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
