Hi,
I want to buy a golf grip. My hands are very sweaty when the temperature goes to 80 degrees. I try 3-4 gloves, but it is not good enough. So, now I want to buy a golf grips for my slippery hands. I have two options; one is Winn Dritac, and another is Karma Velour Golf Grip. Please suggest me the best of them.

Welcome to The Sand Trap. I have sweaty hands too and find that only cord grips work for me. Even with that, when it is really humid, I wear rain gloves. I don't usually wear gloves, but the rain glove provide the grips I need when I can't dry my hands or the grips.

If your hands get sweaty, you’ll need a glove.  No grip that I’ve found is good enough for a sweaty hand.  It looks like the Karma Velour is a typical Tour Velvet so is will be firmer than the DriTac.  The DriTac, which I’ve used, will be slightly better when moist but again, I don’t think it will be counteract sweaty hands well enough to be used without a glove.

I've used Dri-Tac's - problem is they get wet, and when soaked, they get slippery. But if you don't do a lot of range time, they will work.

I use a cord grip that has reduced taper - Golf Pride MCC +4 but only half of it is cord. Wish it were full cord.

Lamkin UTX gets a lot of good review but it's firm

I'm a full cord guy, but I play Pure DTX because they're easier to install.

My hands don't get sweaty, though, and I don't wear gloves.

Hands down, Golf Pride Z Cord. I live in Florida and am very familiar with sweaty hands. Winn Dry Tac was so-so.

I also have sweaty hands and I quit wearing gloves because the sweat would pool in the fingertips and feel awful. I actually have had trouble holding clubs because my hands would be too wet. I went to Winn DryTac and have been satisfied with them. I get Jumbo grips and don't need a glove. Grip hasn't been an issue since I changed. When they get saturated, they'll get slippery, but I use the bag cover and an umbrella attached to cart and don't usually have a problem. They do wear quick. I replace once a season, and some get quite worn by the end of the season.


Rain gloves... I recently jumped onto them with all the the practicing in the hot, humid weather around here lately. I had been using 3-4 different pairs and switching them out every so often. Problem was, they never really dried out between shifts. I broke down and bought some Foot Joy Rain gloves since I've heard various good things on different forums. Wow, what a difference. No more worrying if the grip would slip and probably holding on too tight causing all kinds of problems. Even thought I played through the rain in the past, I just would switch out the several pairs of gloves keeping them dry as possible. No more of that. I was able to get through the whole range session (2 hours) without changing gloves. I would just take them off when I rested every so often, shake them a bit in the breeze (not that I really needed to) and put them back on and go. No issues at all with grip, so that was one less thing to worry about while swinging.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
