New Golf Grips

[TheDukester]

Looking into regripping my clubs for the first time. Any grip recommendations?

[dennyjones]

Grip choices are personal.    I like a corded grip, one that works well when my hands are sweaty or if it's raining.    I have Golf Pride MCC Plus 4.   It's not the choice of everyone.    I would suggest that you go to a place that has several options and try different choices.

Hello @TheDukester Welcome to the site.  I can't recommend a particular grip but I can recommend that you take time to acquaint yourself with the simple process of re-gripping your clubs.  Basically: if you can change your own socks you have the native intelligence to re-grip a golf club.  The tools required are minimal and the money you save can afford you the luxury of trying several different makes and models.  Whenever I wonder about a new, revolutionary, game-changing grip; I buy one, sock it on a club, and see what I think.  That way I'm not committing myself to an expenditure without a sound basis for the decision.

PURE Grips. Easy on, easy off, and they'll outlast any other grip by 200%. All other grips have polymers or some other shit which wears out much faster than pure rubber.

The only issue I have with PURE is I'm not sure if they come in oversize or not.

Pure grips are available in standard, midsize, and jumbo.  Only the wrap, however, is offered in jumbo.  The DTX and Pure Pro top out at midsize.

I meant they don't have Jumbo in Red... Unless the Wrap comes in Red.

Yeah.  Far as I know; the only options, in jumbo, are black and white.  Guess you could wear rose-tinted glasses...but it wouldn't be the same.

I have Lamkin UTX and Lamkin Z5 in my clubs... Super Stroke Mid Slim on my Putter.

For irons I like Lamkin Crosslines or Golf Pride Tour velvet. I like GP multicompound on my driver.

I'm all about Tour Velvets.  My favorite grip since the Victory went the way of the Dodo.  And a much better grip besides.

Thanks for all of the advice. I might just by one from a few different brands and see which works best.

+1 for the crosslines. I have them on my 4 hybrid, driver and 60*. Also on my Titleist 695mbs (not my gamers but at the moment).

I also have a couple of clubs fitted with Karma Velvet 360 grips. Dirt cheap but surprisingly good.

If there is a golf shop near you, they should have mock-ups with the different grips available. You can also check out the new irons and they will have a variety.

I think to pick a grip you have to try them hitting balls.

I have not found a grip that can not be blown on.  They don't have to be Pure although Pure makes a nice grip.

Might make sense to pick the three you like, have them installed on three clubs you tend to use more and play them.  One will probably jump out at the one you like,  It might cost a few dollars but at least you don't get a whole set you don't care for.

Right now I am playing Ping ID8 Gold.  The gold denotes 1/32" oversize.  They also have a reminder rib.  A reminder rib in a rib on the grip which lines up with the creases on your fingers. 

It assists in gripping the club consistently.  Since playing with them I am shocked at how a minor grip adjustment changes the ball flight.  I play a big draw (at the moment) shifting that rib ever so slightly in in my hand creates a straighter ball flight.  A little to much and it's a push, a little more and it is a push fade.

Have fun with it, its a nice change for relatively little money.

Good idea.  When someone is unsure of which grips to choose, I usually recommend regripping 1 or 2 clubs with a model they are interested in, rather than the whole set.  Whichever club/clubs you like to practice with, like a 7 iron or something.  If you like it, then have the rest of the clubs regripped.  But if for some reason you don't like it, or maybe it gets slick when your hands sweat or in the rain or whatever, you're only out the cost of 1 grip instead of 13!

I personally just go with the standard Golf Pride Tour Velvet.
