Getting into PURE Grips

[The Flush]

I just received my first set of Pure DTX midsize grips (lime green). I have made a total of 1 swing with a 9i and thought it felt good. Then I got back to installing the rest of the set.

It felt like I could play a round without a glove with these grips, at least in the warm but not hot weather like we had today. You can really feel the texture without a glove.  I am not sure how my hands would feel during a practice session without a glove. These midsize feel a little smaller than my old CP2 midsize, but with more texture, I think I will be Ok with them.

I have never installed my own grips before, but I found this to be pretty easy. The hardest part was getting the old tape off. I realize that you don't have to take the old tape off, but the new grips go on much easier without the old tape.

The set of grips cost $156, plus a 1time cost of $10 for the compressor attachment. I was able to use my existing tire inflator trigger, so I didn't have to by the more expensive compressor trigger that they sell.

Yeah? I thought using air it wouldn’t make a difference if tape was there or not?

With the midsize its a bit more difficult to get the grip on due to the thickness of the grip. I find it easier to use one layer of masking tape or painter’s tape as the site recommends.

I love the Pure DTX Midsize. 

BTW - I don't use the compressor attachment. I just use one of these.

Funny, I find the midsize easier to put on than the standard size.... But once again, I don't use their attachment thingie. 

But, I can put on either without too much difficulty, but the midsize is easier.
