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.

    • I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea. 
    • I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

    • I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.
