Best golf grips?
I'm getting ready to regrip and I want something that is firm enough that it won't wear out in a couple of months, but soft enough that I won't tear up my hands. Also, I want something that performs great in the rain and on hot summer days.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Matt

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

I've heard that star grips are quite nice: http://www.stargrip.com/. I'll be trying them next time I regrip. Not sure where the best place to purchase them is, but I've seen them on ebay for very reasonable prices.

crossline lamkins cord works pretty good.
Rough but not hurt the hands.

Star Sidewinders hands down the best bang for your buck in golf grips anywhere. about $2.25 a grip, durable, perfectly round, above the curve in rain and humid weather. Don't really see me going back to anything else at the moment, looks like 2 yrs tween changes compared to 1 with anything else I've had last 10 years. And I play without a glove.
Pro T vibration resistant also not bad for the money.

Good old GP Tour Velvet (mid-size) for me. I hit balls about 3 days a week and play on the weekends. I re-grip about twice a year and at $1.85 a grip that means I spend about $37 annually. They're good to go between re-grippings with some soap and water and a toothbrush.
Don't care much for the dual-density stuff that's been coming out. Certainly not worth the additional cost.

Crossline Lamkins (cord and non cord) are pretty durable as well as soft. I have not tried the Golf Pride MultiCompounds yet but I hear good things about them.

Star Grips
I have been installing Star Grips for awhile now. The sidewinder is great.

Bit on Star Grips to read up on.

I would suggest making a club up with a variety of grips and try them out for comfort and purchase on the grip with wet hands too. |

Go really old school and get leather. Nothing is better than leather. Great in the rain, humidity, everything and you don't need a glove anymore.
