Don't know where you live, but in summer temps, you might want to try a grip that will hold if you spend time on the range or it's extremely hot.

I've played Pure, Lamkin UTx, Golf Pride MCC +4, and others - grip choice depends on your conditions, whether you sweat a lot, and what comfortable for you. It's your own journey and no one else's.

Golf Pride CP2 Pro. Less taper under bottom hand. They feel a little thicker and have a soft feeling but not mushy.Very good if you have arthritic fingers as I do.

I picked up a set of Taylormade nd irons over the winter with brand new midaize cp2 tour wraps on them.  The do feel nice.  Haven't had a chance to play with them, just him them inside.  I measure just under midsize...3 wraps over standard.

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.

How do u like those MCC plus 4's?  I have one on my driver that the fitter put on and I like it.  He also put them on my pm grind wedges when he restarted them.  I like them on there too.

I've always used tour velvet and now it's time to regrip my Ping irons.  I measure 3 grasp over standard but the plus 4's I have now are standard and not 3 over.  I was at demo day and you never see them on irons to try.

How do you like them?  Do they seem larger than standard?  I was thinking of going an extra wrap on the top hand only maybe?  Maybe just stay standard like the other plus 4 grips I have...?

I have these and really like them.  They aren't spongy like some grips but feel comfortable and when it's wet they work extremely well.  I've played about 140 rounds with them and they still feel and look great.   They aren't cheap, I believe I paid around $10 / grip.

Yeah, I know...$10.... And that's a good price actually.  Still tossing around the tour velvet with a couple wraps but really would like a constant feel.

Probably do one plus 4 with an extra wrap and see how it is.

My question to the OP would be, "How long has it been?" If you're running a set of slick grips, I would think that anything new would feel great! I've tried a bunch and am partial to Lamkins. I don't like "fat" grips. They just don't feel right in my hands.

I had Lamkin grips, took them all off, they were not lasting for some reason. Changed to Golf Pride, for me they are much better.

    • 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?
