The Golf Pride Decade grip costs more than tour velvet, but I think the extra cost is well spent. Grips are important. The Decade grips feature soft cords for excellent wet grip in the rain plus multi compounds. A firmer compound is placed where your gloved hand goes. A softer compound where your bare hand goes. (I actually don't wear golf gloves but it still works well for me as well. After a little getting used to, I play barehanded even with the cords in place. Last year, my grips lasted from about April until late September. So they seem to wear quite well.
