To extend the life of your grips, store your clubs in your house (out of the heat) and wash them with a dish soap periodically. BTW, I work at a major golf store and replace hundreds of grips a week.
I change mine ever 5 to 6 months, so I don't notice it as much. The dri-tac, those gray ones with the purple and coral color butt end, last longer than the wraps. I have the copper wraps on some irons and they start kind of separating where the bottom of your hand pad goes.
@@thecringegolfer My one critique of Winn grips is that they wear more quickly than other grips. I love the feel, but you lose that tackiness within a week or two of playing them. After a month or 2, I leave a thumb wear mark on driver pretty consistently. I've been using those grips for a while. I'm curious if the wrap versions are more durable.
@@sentripetal I have not had that much problem with the Winn DriTac Wrap, the dark gray ones like Matt had, but I don't know if they are more durable or not. But the copper colored wrap ones I have, do show some wear in similar places you were talking about and on the area close to the butt of the grip. I have not noticed any loss of feel myself. In fact my Winn Excel grips I have on another set are just as soft as the day I put them on, but some are cracking but have been on the clubs longer than a year. I have not run into the same wear that people are talking about and I play almost every day. I also regrip my own clubs and have even taken off and reused them after trying some jumbo max grips. Anyway! I like them and will probably keep them on my clubs. I have tried golf pride, tacki-mac OS (which are really good for the price and last a while) and the lamkin grips. Golf pride are ok but the bottom of the lamkin grips that goes to the head of the club start splitting after going in and out of the bag so many times.
True....I put one one my 5wood. Played one round and ripped that crap off my club. Back to Tour Velvet again....😑. CP-2s by golfpride are fantastic also. They are on my driver and 1 iron
When those tour wrap grips get wet they become so slick the club feels like it will fly out of your hands. When dry and brand new they work great. Most of us just use the tour velvet anyways, but those newer MCC grips have become super popular as well.
How long do they hold up? This post is 3 years old so hope you have some good feedback. I hear the Winn wraps wear out quick - what about your Golf Pride Tour Wraps?
You'll get through about 10 winn grips before a single tour wrap 2g, and also the white colour way is slightly heavier which is useful for longer builds or heavier heads to bring swing weight back down, it's why you'll see them quite often in long drive builds
Lamkin crossline is my favorite. Just a nice standard rubber feel. They also last incredibly long. Ive had them on my clubs for about 2 years and i play pretty frequently, just put a brand new one on a wedge and it feels identical to ones ive had on for 2 years. Almost 0 wear at all..... also i use the golf pride align on my driver..... i feel it helps my feel the club alot more with those fast swings
I took a 20 year hiatus from golf, and recently started playing again. I have an old wedge with the crossline, and it’s still like new. That’s easily a 23 year old grip and it’s still supple and stable.
Just regripped with the CP2 jumbos.. then it snowed, so I’m waiting on the snow to melt and course to dry 🥴.. but they feel great in all the test swings I’ve done in house lol
I basically did this same experiment 5 or so years ago. I bought all the ones I wanted to try 8-10, and cycled them through my 8-LW and kept playing par 3 course until I decided on my favorite. Not the grip I thought I was going to pick, but the Lamkin UTX won for me. Plus, easy to clean and affordable too
I use to be an assistant golf professional who re-gripped members clubs all the time. The BEST deal of a grip is Royal Grip - Sand Wrap 3.99 per grip golf works. Durable and tacky
I found the Winn Dri-tac LT's by mistake. Bought a 4 hybrid that already had the grip on it. I was immediately impressed with the feel and control I had. I now use the LT's on long irons and woods. For the short irons and wedges, I use the Winn Dri-tac regular. Again, personal preference and feel. Great video!!!
I’ve been fitted for MCC +4 midsize, used to just have the standard grips but the +4 midsize feels better in my hands and gives me more control of the club face
I do like Winn grips but the soft material does seem to wear out in certain high pressure spots faster than a more traditional rubber only grip. The Z Cord is really nice as is your Multicompound
I really liked this video! As a novice golfer of a few years, I get caught up with what grip is right for me. I’ve learned to regrip my own clubs and have tried different things. For my woods I like midsized +4 mcc grips… for my irons I prefer the feel of standard tour velvets… and for my wedges I love the Winn master wraps.. it’s all about the feel. Really appreciated the video!!
I'm at about the same stage as you in my golf journey and also learning that I prefer different styles and sizes for different clubs. I have yet to experiment with an +4MCC yet so maybe next season I'll give it a whirl on a random club.
@@TheAboriginal1 good to hear! I like the midsized +4 mcc grips on my driver specifically. And standard sized grips on anything else. Good luck on your journey bro.
I used to use them, but I found that they'll tear your hands apart if you use them a lot. I got all sorts of blisters at the base of my index finger after using them. And yes, this is after building up quite a bit of callouses over the years at the driving range. Have you experienced anything similar?
ive been using them on my wedges for 3 years now and love them. just gripped my irons with them. was using Ping's standard grip which i also like a lot. we'll see how this season goes!
Great video! Jumbo Golf Pride Wraps for me in black for my irons and wedges but Oversized GolfPride Wraps in white on my 3W & 5Ws w/a 3 wrap on the bottom and 2 wrap on the top built-up. Very budget friendly at this point untill
I played that winn grip for years, I thought they were great until they get slightly wet. They did need to be replaced sooner than others. I switched back to the classic GP Tour Velvet. All around great, they get more tacky after you clean them too
After watching this video I picked up a couple Winn dri-tac wraps oversized and freakin love them! Have them on all 4 of my wedges and really feel like I have control and my hands are quieter. I don't feel like in strangling my wedges anymore and it showed where it counts, on the course. My wedge play is on point! I feel like 100 yards in is my sweet spot now! Looking forward to getting these on my irons now!
I switched from Golf Pride Tour Velvets to Winn Wrap grips 15 years ago and love them. And one bonus I find using Winn grips is I don't need a glove. I haven't bought a golf glove in 14 years.
I love the golf pride tour velvet cord. Its good in both wet and dry conditions. And it feels very consistent no matter where my hands are on the grip. Cheers
I wholeheartedly believe Winn grips are designed to fall apart as soon as humanly possible. They even start to crumble if you leave them in the packaging for a few years
I haven't noticed that they fall apart in storage, although I don't keep them around for that long usually. How long before you notice that? They do wear way more easily than other grips, I'll agree with you on that.
@@sentripetal 3 years, undersized women’s grips . They got really dry and you could rub the wrap off with your thumb . I repurpose used clubs and find old Winn grips in all sorts of horrible situations. The tan ones turn into a orange sticky goo , falling apart, get all over shafts and have to be cleaned with paint thinner. I had a set on my irons , the tan colored excel and when it rained you couldn’t hold on to the club. I had to hold a wad of paper towels between my hands and the club . I always say the best worst grip in golf
@@Otis790 that's interesting to hear. I guess I just replaced mine before they ever get that. I probably rotate them out every 6 months or so. It only seems to be normal wear, like getting worn thumb marks on the grip, but not full disintegration like you're speaking of.
I absolutely agree with you. Great video. Winn makes the best grips, they really do. They don't last forever. Definitely need to regrip every season but they are great!
Thanks Matt- I am very particular about my grips and change them annually and clean them with Windex about twice a season. I am on my fifth set of Winns or so. Currently I am loving an oversized less tapered model. Feels like the bigger muscles are mor active in the swing, especially with my Driver. Thanks for all the great content you provide for us!
Awesome grip review. I just installed the golf pride tour wraps on my irons. Maybe I need to break them in but they are an absolute nightmare in hot humid conditions like Florida summer golf.
I need new grips. Watched your video. I trust your great swing advice, I trust your golf grip recommendations. Ordered the Winn Dry Tack grips. Bring it!! ⛳️👍🏼🙂
I’ve been playing Winn since I can remember now. Your #5 Dry Tac. I need to change them yearly or more often. Not looking for tackiness…but shock protection for joints as I’ve aged.
I really enjoyed this vid! No one ANYWEAR EVER has addressed grips and differences. Weekend warrior joes like me have no clue on grips and no one at golf stores seems to know either. Guessing, unlike you, they never bothered to try. I actually think we are just skimming the surface on this issue. I would luv to see where you do a vid AFTER trying 5-6 from each of the major makers(Winn, Lamkin, Super stroke, Golf Pride etc.). Because realistically, there are about 30-40 options(6 per manu) so a drill down even deeper would be awesome. In my case, I bought brand new TM Sim Max 7 wood last summer and it had a special order grip on it. Lamkin Crossline 360. Not Crossline. Crossline 360. It is incredible and I've gone to out of my way to get it on my driver now as well. Pure luck that I ever even got to try. I bought a Cobra T-rail pitch wedge it came with REL(I think it's Lamkin) midsize. I luv it!!! I don't think Golf Gal even carries it but it's awesome!! Finally, about 8 yrs ago like you I decided to try some new grips. I bought Winn Dri-tech (u rated #5 out of 13)and I play them still on irons. I agreed with what you said. Combo of tacky /comfortable, and good control.
The ole classic Winn grip is the only grip I want on a club been using them since the early 2000s in Junior Golf. Buttery soft and yet sticks to your hand. Only problem is they tend to wear faster than most grips.
The Winn Dri Tac feel awesome for me, rain or shine. Love the soft feel but with that you sacrifice longevity. Not a problem for me cause I just switch the grips out myself - about once a year.
Gr8 vid! I've been using the Winn dri tac jumbo grips for about 5 years now. Love them. I needed a bigger grip as my hands a big.. I'm 6 ft 5 in. Tall... I wish they were more durable so they would last longer, but I can get a season out of them most times. My favorite. Cheers
I loved and played Winn DryTac grips for several years and they are awesome! However, if you play a lot (as in 2-3 rounds a week, which in MN I try to do because our season is so short compared to warmer climates), you have to almost replace the grips around 2/3 the way through the season because they wear out quick!
Love the Winn grips but man they are a 2x per season replacement due to durability. Funny I too like the golf pride (rubber?) but if it’s wet or rainy they get slick. Great review and appreciate all the work you did to make it real! Now you have to re-grip again 😎!
I just put Golf Pride Mcc Align on my PXG irons. Love them, tacky, comfort and the align part keeps my setup properly at address every time. That was always my problem. Love your vids Mr. Short Game
I’ve been playing those Winn dri-tac grips. I live in the pnw and thought they would be great in the rain (or humidity for you in GA) and they get slimey and slippery in the rain. I accidentally chucked my 4 iron at a friend trying to swing with rain gloves on. It felt slightly better barehanded.
I have those (mid-size) on my driver and fairway woods…perhaps it’s my grip, but they all wear out below my right thumb. Everywhere else is good, I don’t know 🤷♂️
I was GP Tour Velvet for years. Recently jumped ship to Lampkin Sonar+ black. Very nice grip that holds up. The GP tour velvet is a good grip but tends to become slick very quickly.
Two things I’d like to see: 1) your review of JumboMax grips (used by Bryson de Chambeau), and 2) your very first golf vlog video. I’ve been watching you since the backyard net and chickens, but I know I didn’t see the first one you ever posted. I think many would enjoy it! Keep up the excellent work!
Nice review. Was never a fan of Winn, until I decided to buy a dri tac wrap for my driver last minute, couple days before a tournament. Loved the dri tac wrap so much after that day I went and bought more for my woods and hybrids and switched all my irons over to their “alignment” version and have been playing them ever since without considering any other brand. That was about 8 years ago. My new fitted set I got a couple months ago now has all Winn grips. They feel great without a glove and feel like they just absolutely stick to a glove even if they get a little wet in a rainy day. Best on the market in my opinion as well
@@gregkuper1387 I've seen that too. I'm up in the northeast and the humidity makes a lot of grips very slick, but I haven't had that issue with Dri-Tacs. And I haven't had the durability issue to the extent that other people have either. I usually play 1-2 times per week and hit the range at least once between rounds, and Dri-Tacs don't seem to fall apart any faster than any other grips for me
same, Dri-Tac's were my first grips on my fitted set of clubs. However they wore out in 6 months, playing 4 to 5 times a week. Played in the rain plenty with them and also had the same problem. They became super slick and got a lot of slippage and twisting when they get wet. Switched over to the Tour velvet, not as tacky on soft feeling in the hand but haven't had any problems with slipping or twisting in my hand while playing in rain with them so far.
Great content as always Matt. I've been a Golf Pride Tour Wrap guy for 20 years. It's a honor for it to be in the top 5. They seem to last for at least 2 years as well....Always look forward to your videos !!!
I was a tour wrap guy for 8 years. The thing I did not like was sweaty hands and rain made them slip. I started carrying a right hand glove and that worked but I usually wore it when it was hot and sweaty and I couldn't get it off to putt. So i went back to tour velvet which do not last as long.
Lamkin crossline 360 in gray. With the hosel sleeve adjustments in woods, it doesn't matter how you align them. I also really like the Lamkin sonar hybrid if you wear a glove. A bit more firm and textured in glove hand, soft and grippy in bare lower hand.
I’ve been using the Winn Dritac wrap grip for years. I don’t like to wear a glove, so these are perfect for me. Like another viewer stated, they do wear fast.
I pick them based to longevity and feel. Minus the driver and 3 wood i put the new decade multi compound label down. I dont mind replacing my driver and 15* fairway when they wear out. I use the tackier wrap versions for them. The bag I have is also the ogio silencer so that probably plays a part in the wear.
I have golf pride tour grips on my 1992 Titleist DTR set of irons... they have been on there for (at least) the 18 years I've owned them. Just getting them re-gripped this winter for next season. Golf Pride grips last For-Ev-Er....
Bought 20 extras of the mid-size Winns since they were just right. After years in storage, I had a good use for them, but still new in the package they had aged into crumbling crap and all got tossed. WINNs are perishable, do not store! Even fresh they will wear very quickly compared to a multi-compound type grip. The +1/8 Dri-tac lite OS is what I use for the soft feel and swing weight increase. Next time I'll try Jumbomax - left out in this test.
Thanks to your video on regripping your clubs at home, I went out and got the Lamkin Sonar and regripped all my irons. A lot easier to do than I thought it would be.
Wynn dry tack are really nice , just have to change grip in middle of year on clubs you use alot... Driver , 7-iron , wedges... They ware out easily , But are really nice.
Hi Matt. Love your reviews on those grips cos i have been using Winn grips for the past 10 years and love using them. Then about 1 year and a half ago, i started using LG and XL of Jumbomax on my irons and woods and love them cos they helped improve my game so much. Plus, i was able to gain more yards on each of my club. So for me, these Jumbomax grips also helped me enjoy my game even more now and i almost quit playing golf until one of the guys in our Sunday group told me about the Jumbomax and i thank him for that. Thank you Matt for great lessons and product reviews.👌👍👍👏👏👏
I love my golfpride grip.... I got exactly the same one that came number 4 the red one but mine is white. I love it so much... The main reason is I don't play with glove on and belive me that grip still very on a raining day. I think if you test all the grip wet like you playing on the raining day that golfpride will be the winner...
I play Champkey Victors. I cut off a set of Golf Pride Tour Wraps to put my Champkeys on. I live in Las Vegas Nevada and the Tour wraps don't do well in dry conditions. They get real slick real fast. You have to wet them down before each shot to make them semi tacky.
I play a Winn dry tac. Soft. Better arthritis in my hands (along with Bionic gloves). Upset you sped up your swing. It’s so smooth. I’m recovering from surgery but I’ll watch more when I’m better.
Great video matt, just regripped my clubs so easy to do and daved tons of money. I choose the GP MCC 4 midsize and love the feel. Keep up the great work.
I used to play the Winn Dri-Tacs and they really are fantastic grips. They wear out so quickly though! Once they start to break down they turn into some of the slickest weird zero control grips I've played. First 6 months to a year and woah, amazing touch and feel.
I just regripped my driver to a dritac a large part due to this video, had the CP2 on it previously but something just felt off. I love the tackiness of the dritac especially given my wet hands
@@mrfashizleboy9486 my fiancé is a saint, And very tolerant of my addiction. But if I dropped 20 grand on a sim I feel I’d really best pushing my limits.
Glad to hear you liked the WINN Grip LT (Less Taper) because I currently have 13 brand spanking new ones going on TONIGHT!.... I actually game the same grips as you do....well until tomorrow.... then it's the LTs
Lambkin R.E.L Ace are amazing had them for 5 years still perfect (play 3-4 times a week in PA) . Unfortunately, they’re discontinued . Highly recommend if you could get your hands on some!
I used to play Golf Pride MCC +4. My current grips are Golf Pride Tour Velvet +4. The grip is comfortable and feels great in my hands. I've tried Wynn grips in the past but not recently. I have no plans to switch from the Tour Velvet +4 and some of my friends have also switched to them.
My grip of choice is the very one you chose at the end. Excellent feeling / performing grip. I can keep my hold on the club very very lightly and never feel as though it's moving in my hand. Love them. (unsponsored testimonial 😊)
I was too shocked by the Dri-Tac line up. Interested by trying 2.0. Not a lot of people use them, people gravitate towards Golf Pride, but I really liked the Dri-Tac. Might have to the full set for a season and see how they hold up!
Some some interesting facts. The Golf Pride that you can purchase is a very watered down version from the Tour velvet they give to the tour players. The Tour version is nearly double the price. The grip that is probably one of the best that you have not bought is the Switch Grip...
Very intriguing comment. How did you find about this? Do you know how I can get some? In what way is the pro version better than the ones available to us amateurs? I use a midsize Tour Velvet. I love them. They never slip and are tacky enough for me. They will last a season.
I just switched to Winn myself. I came from MCC+4 to win DriTac Mid, the regular not the wrap version. I am blown away I didn’t use these long before. They are soft but firm and it feels like I’m literally gripping the shaft instead of the grip.
I played your number one for years and recently switched to your number two. Love 'em both but like the LT profile and the Dri Tac Wrap while very comfortable they wer out fast. I mainly switched for the profile of LT. YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE.
Having been playing Lamkin Sonars for about a year and like them. In addition to being tacky, they have enough texture that you really have a good grip on the club. They are slightly bigger around than most grips - the standard isn't as big as a midsize but it is kind o a compromise. It is also definitely one of those grips which is slightly larger under your bottom hand.
I have gp tourwraps on everything, my 80s ping eyes still have a set from the 90s on in the more leathery finish which is my absolute favorite, but big fan of the new material as well. cant go wrong with gp tour wrap.
I use the Winn Dri-Tac grips, however I recently purchased a set of Karma Revolution grips and they are very impressive for $22 for 13 grips with free shipping...can't beat them for the price.
I've tried alot of grips and always go back to the tour velvet golf pride, tried the midsize and my chipping and pitching have been outstanding wish I would have tried them along time ago 🤪🇺🇲
and here I thought I was the only one that was super peculiar about touching lines and grooves on my grips. Matt, you should try the Lamkin UTX cord grip.
@@raybaker8653 so far they are very durable, 5 months in and are still like new, still tacky so less grip pressure neeeded, i used 2 or 3 xs a week. I have 10 spare grips for when i regrip them in future because they are honestly best grip I've used. Simple design, no BS, just a normal grip thats tacky in all weather with decent feedback on shots
i re gripped all my clubs with the align midsize by golf pride and my 3 wood and 4 hybrid with the winn dritac midsize as well and im in love with the winn grips and i want to re grip all my others clubs again but since i spent almost $13 per golf pride i cant see myself spending money again I cant speak on how long the winn grip will last but i have had the winn grip for about 4 months maybe 6 rounds of golf and i use my 4 hybrid on most par 5s and so far it has done well
To extend the life of your grips, store your clubs in your house (out of the heat) and wash them with a dish soap periodically. BTW, I work at a major golf store and replace hundreds of grips a week.
maybe you would know, why do MCC +4 use soft rubber on lower hand? i was MCC lower rubber feel but with +4 but that doesn’t exist does it?
You are destroying your own trade with that advice! ;-) JK! Keep up the good work!
Good to hear all the feedback about the durability of the Winn grips. I will for sure be testing that out this summer.
I change mine ever 5 to 6 months, so I don't notice it as much. The dri-tac, those gray ones with the purple and coral color butt end, last longer than the wraps. I have the copper wraps on some irons and they start kind of separating where the bottom of your hand pad goes.

Been to that exact store, knew right away from the parking lot.
As I stated in an earlier comment, put a Win grip under the faucet and then try drying them off and hit a golf ball!
GP Tour Wrap are great if you play golf in a dome. Good luck with hot, humid or rain.
True....I put one one my 5wood. Played one round and ripped that crap off my club. Back to Tour Velvet again....😑. CP-2s by golfpride are fantastic also. They are on my driver and 1 iron

I went from tour velvet to tour wraps back to the velvets. lol
Those tour wraps are insanely slick when they get wet or your hands are sweaty. would not recommend them
@@CrantRigleycame here to say the same. Cant wait to switch
i tried the MCC grips. they look cool but i just cant get used to the texture. its too much.
I've just switched to the golf pride tour wrap. Absolutely love them, even when wet they stick. Love the midsize.
I'm switching to the same grip tomorrow. Can't wait to play them
Just ordered the midsize ones!

It helps when you can write it of on your taxes. Mr. ShortGame can.
All a matter of preference. I like corded grips on my woods, wraps on my irons, and tour velvet on my wedges. Different feels for different clubs.
Lamkin crossline is my favorite. Just a nice standard rubber feel. They also last incredibly long. Ive had them on my clubs for about 2 years and i play pretty frequently, just put a brand new one on a wedge and it feels identical to ones ive had on for 2 years. Almost 0 wear at all..... also i use the golf pride align on my driver..... i feel it helps my feel the club alot more with those fast swings
Been using Lamkin Crosslines for years. They last forever.
I like em too. Just got new irons with crosslines. Midsize. Feel great.
I love em on my mp32s
Lamkin is the Toyota of grips. Great quality and they last forever.
I took a 20 year hiatus from golf, and recently started playing again. I have an old wedge with the crossline, and it’s still like new. That’s easily a 23 year old grip and it’s still supple and stable.
I’ve had the Golf Pride CP2 wrap grips on my clubs since 2015. They still feel like new. And I’ve played a lot of golf in the last 6 six years.
I had all of my clubs regripped with the Golf Pride CP2 Jumbos. I really like them!
Just regripped with the CP2 jumbos.. then it snowed, so I’m waiting on the snow to melt and course to dry 🥴.. but they feel great in all the test swings I’ve done in house lol
I always regrip with the CP2 Wrap. Stays tacky, easy to clean, soft feel without being mushy and last forever.
I basically did this same experiment 5 or so years ago. I bought all the ones I wanted to try 8-10, and cycled them through my 8-LW and kept playing par 3 course until I decided on my favorite. Not the grip I thought I was going to pick, but the Lamkin UTX won for me. Plus, easy to clean and affordable too
I switched to the Winn DriTac this season, played Golfpride Align before - I just love the Winn. No comparison in my opinion.
Love the presentation and attitude. Been using CP2 grips for last 5 yrs - v comfortable, long lasting and great feel.
Old school tour velvets. Can't beat them. A native of north ATL, enjoy your channel.
I use to be an assistant golf professional who re-gripped members clubs all the time.

The Dri-Tac LTs might be the absolute best grip for sweaty hands. Those things are so grippy it's crazy
I’ve been fitted for MCC +4 midsize, used to just have the standard grips but the +4 midsize feels better in my hands and gives me more control of the club face
I do like Winn grips but the soft material does seem to wear out in certain high pressure spots faster than a more traditional rubber only grip. The Z Cord is really nice as is your Multicompound
I replace my Winn grips every year, which is what you should do anyway. They say every year or after 40 rounds
Interesting. I've played Golf Pride Tour Wraps forever never felt the need to change. Good to know they were in your top five.
I really liked this video! As a novice golfer of a few years, I get caught up with what grip is right for me. I’ve learned to regrip my own clubs and have tried different things.

Played these for years - only average in the wet though. The amount of times I play in the wet is not so many, so that's why I still use them.
Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize for me... Love them!
I use the Winn Dri Tac 2.0 midsize and am loving them.
Great video! Jumbo Golf Pride Wraps for me in black for my irons and wedges but Oversized GolfPride Wraps in white on my 3W & 5Ws w/a 3 wrap on the bottom and 2 wrap on the top built-up. Very budget friendly at this point untill
I played that winn grip for years, I thought they were great until they get slightly wet. They did need to be replaced sooner than others. I switched back to the classic GP Tour Velvet. All around great, they get more tacky after you clean them too
So would they be bad for sweaty hands?
After watching this video I picked up a couple Winn dri-tac wraps oversized and freakin love them! Have them on all 4 of my wedges and really feel like I have control and my hands are quieter. I don't feel like in strangling my wedges anymore and it showed where it counts, on the course. My wedge play is on point! I feel like 100 yards in is my sweet spot now! Looking forward to getting these on my irons now!
I switched from Golf Pride Tour Velvets to Winn Wrap grips 15 years ago and love them. And one bonus I find using Winn grips is I don't need a glove. I haven't bought a golf glove in 14 years.
I love the golf pride tour velvet cord. Its good in both wet and dry conditions. And it feels very consistent no matter where my hands are on the grip. Cheers
Lambskin Crosslines for me. I have stuck with them for years. No matter the weather, they are great.
Agree 100%
Love Winn Dri Tac’s especially on Driver and woods, and I’ve found using midsize or oversized really helps with controlling the club face.
I wholeheartedly believe Winn grips are designed to fall apart as soon as humanly possible. They even start to crumble if you leave them in the packaging for a few years
I haven't noticed that they fall apart in storage, although I don't keep them around for that long usually. How long before you notice that? They do wear way more easily than other grips, I'll agree with you on that.
@@sentripetal 3 years, undersized women’s grips . They got really dry and you could rub the wrap off with your thumb . I repurpose used clubs and find old Winn grips in all sorts of horrible situations. The tan ones turn into a orange sticky goo , falling apart, get all over shafts and have to be cleaned with paint thinner. I had a set on my irons , the tan colored excel and when it rained you couldn’t hold on to the club. I had to hold a wad of paper towels between my hands and the club . I always say the best worst grip in golf
@@Otis790 that's interesting to hear. I guess I just replaced mine before they ever get that. I probably rotate them out every 6 months or so. It only seems to be normal wear, like getting worn thumb marks on the grip, but not full disintegration like you're speaking of.
You’re supposed to put on a fresh set at the turn. They have a lifespan less than most gloves.
I play the Winn Dri Tac grips. I wipe them down regularly and they stay in good shape. All grips will deteriorate if not cared for.
Lamkin crossline all day for me but just switched over to lamkin z5 for this season
I absolutely agree with you. Great video. Winn makes the best grips, they really do. They don't last forever. Definitely need to regrip every season but they are great!
Thanks Matt-
I am very particular about my grips and change them annually and clean them with Windex about twice a season. I am on my fifth set of Winns or so. Currently I am loving an oversized less tapered model. Feels like the bigger muscles are mor active in the swing, especially with my Driver. Thanks for all the great content you provide for us!
I bought a used set of irons last year that had Winn dritac grips on them...I had full intentions of replacing the grips but absolutely LOVED them!!
Awesome grip review. I just installed the golf pride tour wraps on my irons. Maybe I need to break them in but they are an absolute nightmare in hot humid conditions like Florida summer golf.
I need new grips. Watched your video. I trust your great swing advice, I trust your golf grip recommendations. Ordered the Winn Dry Tack grips. Bring it!! ⛳️👍🏼🙂
Just had the Lamkin Sonar Mids installed on my G425 irons & hybrids and absolutely love them. They’re tacky and feel great swinging the clubs.
I’ve been playing Winn since I can remember now. Your #5 Dry Tac. I need to change them yearly or more often. Not looking for tackiness…but shock protection for joints as I’ve aged.
After being a Golf Pride user for many years I gave the Lamkin Sonar a try and it's excellent.
I really enjoyed this vid! No one ANYWEAR EVER has addressed grips and differences. Weekend warrior joes like me have no clue on grips and no one at golf stores seems to know either. Guessing, unlike you, they never bothered to try.
I actually think we are just skimming the surface on this issue. I would luv to see where you do a vid AFTER trying 5-6 from each of the major makers(Winn, Lamkin, Super stroke, Golf Pride etc.). Because realistically, there are about 30-40 options(6 per manu) so a drill down even deeper would be awesome.
In my case, I bought brand new TM Sim Max 7 wood last summer and it had a special order grip on it. Lamkin Crossline 360. Not Crossline. Crossline 360. It is incredible and I've gone to out of my way to get it on my driver now as well. Pure luck that I ever even got to try.
I bought a Cobra T-rail pitch wedge it came with REL(I think it's Lamkin) midsize. I luv it!!! I don't think Golf Gal even carries it but it's awesome!!
Finally, about 8 yrs ago like you I decided to try some new grips. I bought Winn Dri-tech (u rated #5 out of 13)and I play them still on irons. I agreed with what you said. Combo of tacky /comfortable, and good control.
The ole classic Winn grip is the only grip I want on a club been using them since the early 2000s in Junior Golf. Buttery soft and yet sticks to your hand. Only problem is they tend to wear faster than most grips.
The Winn Dri Tac feel awesome for me, rain or shine. Love the soft feel but with that you sacrifice longevity. Not a problem for me cause I just switch the grips out myself - about once a year.
I have used the Winn Dri Tac Wrap that won for you and it is awesome. I love that you can chock down one wrap and have 2 yardages per club.
Love the disclaimers. Great to see the grips actually being tested.
Gr8 vid! I've been using the Winn dri tac jumbo grips for about 5 years now. Love them. I needed a bigger grip as my hands a big.. I'm 6 ft 5 in. Tall... I wish they were more durable so they would last longer, but I can get a season out of them most times. My favorite. Cheers
I loved and played Winn DryTac grips for several years and they are awesome! However, if you play a lot (as in 2-3 rounds a week, which in MN I try to do because our season is so short compared to warmer climates), you have to almost replace the grips around 2/3 the way through the season because they wear out quick!
too quick!
Tour Wrap grip is classic. The classic never dies.
They lasted 10 years on my irons, they never wore out, I just got tired of them.
Love the Winn grips but man they are a 2x per season replacement due to durability. Funny I too like the golf pride (rubber?) but if it’s wet or rainy they get slick. Great review and appreciate all the work you did to make it real! Now you have to re-grip again 😎!
I just put Golf Pride Mcc Align on my PXG irons. Love them, tacky, comfort and the align part keeps my setup properly at address every time. That was always my problem. Love your vids Mr. Short Game
I’ve been playing those Winn dri-tac grips. I live in the pnw and thought they would be great in the rain (or humidity for you in GA) and they get slimey and slippery in the rain. I accidentally chucked my 4 iron at a friend trying to swing with rain gloves on. It felt slightly better barehanded.
I have those (mid-size) on my driver and fairway woods…perhaps it’s my grip, but they all wear out below my right thumb. Everywhere else is good, I don’t know 🤷♂️
I was GP Tour Velvet for years. Recently jumped ship to Lampkin Sonar+ black. Very nice grip that holds up. The GP tour velvet is a good grip but tends to become slick very quickly.
Two things I’d like to see: 1) your review of JumboMax grips (used by Bryson de Chambeau), and 2) your very first golf vlog video. I’ve been watching you since the backyard net and chickens, but I know I didn’t see the first one you ever posted. I think many would enjoy it! Keep up the excellent work!
Nice review. Was never a fan of Winn, until I decided to buy a dri tac wrap for my driver last minute, couple days before a tournament. Loved the dri tac wrap so much after that day I went and bought more for my woods and hybrids and switched all my irons over to their “alignment” version and have been playing them ever since without considering any other brand. That was about 8 years ago. My new fitted set I got a couple months ago now has all Winn grips. They feel great without a glove and feel like they just absolutely stick to a glove even if they get a little wet in a rainy day. Best on the market in my opinion as well
I like the feel of Dri Tac but they don’t last very long.
Plus if they get wet (despite their name) it is like trying to grip an eel for the next hour or so!
I’ve had the opposite experience with the regular Dri-Tac. Play in plenty of rain in the Northwest and the Dri-Tacs always feel tacky
@@gregkuper1387 I've seen that too. I'm up in the northeast and the humidity makes a lot of grips very slick, but I haven't had that issue with Dri-Tacs. And I haven't had the durability issue to the extent that other people have either. I usually play 1-2 times per week and hit the range at least once between rounds, and Dri-Tacs don't seem to fall apart any faster than any other grips for me
same, Dri-Tac's were my first grips on my fitted set of clubs. However they wore out in 6 months, playing 4 to 5 times a week. Played in the rain plenty with them and also had the same problem. They became super slick and got a lot of slippage and twisting when they get wet. Switched over to the Tour velvet, not as tacky on soft feeling in the hand but haven't had any problems with slipping or twisting in my hand while playing in rain with them so far.
You are right on the money about wear, feel great though, played them for years and recently switched to the LT (his #2).
Great content as usual, the grip - the only thing your hands touch on a golf club, very important!
Great content as always Matt. I've been a Golf Pride Tour Wrap guy for 20 years. It's a honor for it to be in the top 5. They seem to last for at least 2 years as well....Always look forward to your videos !!!
I was a tour wrap guy for 8 years. The thing I did not like was sweaty hands and rain made them slip. I started carrying a right hand glove and that worked but I usually wore it when it was hot and sweaty and I couldn't get it off to putt. So i went back to tour velvet which do not last as long.
Lamkin crossline 360 in gray. With the hosel sleeve adjustments in woods, it doesn't matter how you align them. I also really like the Lamkin sonar hybrid if you wear a glove. A bit more firm and textured in glove hand, soft and grippy in bare lower hand.
All my clubs have the Winn Dritac LT (your 2nd place). Love these things. Super grippy, great feel, and solid in the grip.
I have a couple fairway woods with the Winn DriTac and they feel great. I know some do not like the rubbery feel but I really like them.
I’ve been using the Winn Dritac wrap grip for years. I don’t like to wear a glove, so these are perfect for me. Like another viewer stated, they do wear fast.
I use Tour Velvet. They are simple and they do the job. Change them often to refresh your clubs.
I pick them based to longevity and feel. Minus the driver and 3 wood i put the new decade multi compound label down. I dont mind replacing my driver and 15* fairway when they wear out. I use the tackier wrap versions for them. The bag I have is also the ogio silencer so that probably plays a part in the wear.
I have golf pride tour grips on my 1992 Titleist DTR set of irons... they have been on there for (at least) the 18 years I've owned them.
Just getting them re-gripped this winter for next season.
Golf Pride grips last For-Ev-Er....
Bought 20 extras of the mid-size Winns since they were just right. After years in storage, I had a good use for them, but still new in the package they had aged into crumbling crap and all got tossed. WINNs are perishable, do not store! Even fresh they will wear very quickly compared to a multi-compound type grip. The +1/8 Dri-tac lite OS is what I use for the soft feel and swing weight increase. Next time I'll try Jumbomax - left out in this test.
Hi, great test. I just put on the Golf Pride Tour Wrap. Love them. Changed out Win Grips, liked them to, but the wear...
I’ve switched to the Winn DriTac and haven’t looked back. Holds up much better than I expected the in Georgia humidity to.
Thanks to your video on regripping your clubs at home, I went out and got the Lamkin Sonar and regripped all my irons. A lot easier to do than I thought it would be.
Wynn dry tack are really nice , just have to change grip in middle of year on clubs you use alot... Driver , 7-iron , wedges... They ware out easily , But are really nice.
Golf Pride ZGRip Cores midsize...i cannot say enough good things about these. I have had 4 replacements and i dont plan on ever switching
Hi Matt. Love your reviews on those grips cos i have been using Winn grips for the past 10 years and love using them. Then about 1 year and a half ago, i started using LG and XL of Jumbomax on my irons and woods and love them cos they helped improve my game so much. Plus, i was able to gain more yards on each of my club. So for me, these Jumbomax grips also helped me enjoy my game even more now and i almost quit playing golf until one of the guys in our Sunday group told me about the Jumbomax and i thank him for that. Thank you Matt for great lessons and product reviews.👌👍👍👏👏👏
I’m a big fan of Winn Dri Tacs for shock absorption. They wear out, but better the grip than my wrist
I love my golfpride grip.... I got exactly the same one that came number 4 the red one but mine is white. I love it so much... The main reason is I don't play with glove on and belive me that grip still very on a raining day. I think if you test all the grip wet like you playing on the raining day that golfpride will be the winner...
I play Champkey Victors. I cut off a set of Golf Pride Tour Wraps to put my Champkeys on. I live in Las Vegas Nevada and the Tour wraps don't do well in dry conditions. They get real slick real fast. You have to wet them down before each shot to make them semi tacky.
I play a Winn dry tac. Soft. Better arthritis in my hands (along with Bionic gloves). Upset you sped up your swing. It’s so smooth. I’m recovering from surgery but I’ll watch more when I’m better.
that red golf pride wrap grip is like holding an eel in the rain .only good on sunny hot days really
Is it ok on the rain, with the tour warp, if we have rain contrôle glove ? Or it don’t change anything, the tour warp are bad in rain ?
I’ve got the mcc midsize grips. If you’ve got 8 inch hands. And your bad shots are hooks they will help. 👍🏻 not done one since having them.
Great video matt, just regripped my clubs so easy to do and daved tons of money. I choose the GP MCC 4 midsize and love the feel. Keep up the great work.
I used to play the Winn Dri-Tacs and they really are fantastic grips. They wear out so quickly though! Once they start to break down they turn into some of the slickest weird zero control grips I've played. First 6 months to a year and woah, amazing touch and feel.
winn grips only last a year
Awesome video as usual! Just put the Winn Dri-Tac on my driver and fell in love with that grip. I see why you gave it 1st place.
I just regripped my driver to a dritac a large part due to this video, had the CP2 on it previously but something just felt off. I love the tackiness of the dritac especially given my wet hands
You really have no idea how jealous I am of your home sim set up. Like, I’m a borderline hater about it. 🤣 you must have a very agreeable wife.
The key is compromise my friend
@@mrfashizleboy9486 That would mean no set up at home😂
@@mrfashizleboy9486 my fiancé is a saint, And very tolerant of my addiction. But if I dropped 20 grand on a sim I feel I’d really best pushing my limits.
@@GeneralDisgust you could get a sim set up for like 1,500$ he just has the top of the top, they have cheaper ones out there if you look into it!
I'm a Winn grip convert too. They are awesome when wet, so for someone who can get sweaty hands... They are great.
Glad to hear you liked the WINN Grip LT (Less Taper) because I currently have 13 brand spanking new ones going on TONIGHT!.... I actually game the same grips as you do....well until tomorrow.... then it's the LTs
How did the LTs work out for u?
Hey Ryan. How did the LTs work out .?
Lambkin R.E.L Ace are amazing had them for 5 years still perfect (play 3-4 times a week in PA) . Unfortunately, they’re discontinued . Highly recommend if you could get your hands on some!
have always liked feel and look of Lamkin Crossline....though my Mizuno STx220 has a ST2 Hybrid 360 from Lamkin on it...feels good too.
I used to play Golf Pride MCC +4. My current grips are Golf Pride Tour Velvet +4. The grip is comfortable and feels great in my hands. I've tried Wynn grips in the past but not recently. I have no plans to switch from the Tour Velvet +4 and some of my friends have also switched to them.
How do you like the Tv compared to the MCC ?
My grip of choice is the very one you chose at the end. Excellent feeling / performing grip. I can keep my hold on the club very very lightly and never feel as though it's moving in my hand. Love them. (unsponsored testimonial 😊)
I agree Winn are so comfortable. One down side because they are so soft they wear out very quick.
I was too shocked by the Dri-Tac line up. Interested by trying 2.0. Not a lot of people use them, people gravitate towards Golf Pride, but I really liked the Dri-Tac. Might have to the full set for a season and see how they hold up!
Some some interesting facts. The Golf Pride that you can purchase is a very watered down version from the Tour velvet they give to the tour players. The Tour version is nearly double the price. The grip that is probably one of the best that you have not bought is the Switch Grip...
Very intriguing comment. How did you find about this? Do you know how I can get some? In what way is the pro version better than the ones available to us amateurs? I use a midsize Tour Velvet. I love them. They never slip and are tacky enough for me. They will last a season.
I just switched to Winn myself. I came from MCC+4 to win DriTac Mid, the regular not the wrap version. I am blown away I didn’t use these long before. They are soft but firm and it feels like I’m literally gripping the shaft instead of the grip.
Good grips, won’t last long though
I played your number one for years and recently switched to your number two. Love 'em both but like the LT profile and the Dri Tac Wrap while very comfortable they wer out fast. I mainly switched for the profile of LT. YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE.
Are the LT ones just as grippy as the dri tac wraps? I looked at both today and the LTs seemed not as tacky ...
Having been playing Lamkin Sonars for about a year and like them. In addition to being tacky, they have enough texture that you really have a good grip on the club. They are slightly bigger around than most grips - the standard isn't as big as a midsize but it is kind o a compromise. It is also definitely one of those grips which is slightly larger under your bottom hand.
I just put the XS Jumbo Max Tour Series on all my clubs and I love them. Love the content.
I have gp tourwraps on everything, my 80s ping eyes still have a set from the 90s on in the more leathery finish which is my absolute favorite, but big fan of the new material as well. cant go wrong with gp tour wrap.
I use the Winn Dri-Tac grips, however I recently purchased a set of Karma Revolution grips and they are very impressive for $22 for 13 grips with free shipping...can't beat them for the price.
I've tried alot of grips and always go back to the tour velvet golf pride, tried the midsize and my chipping and pitching have been outstanding wish I would have tried them along time ago 🤪🇺🇲
and here I thought I was the only one that was super peculiar about touching lines and grooves on my grips. Matt, you should try the Lamkin UTX cord grip.
Love the golf pride tour wrap. If it ever feels like it's not as tacky anymore a quick wipe with a damp cloth brings it right back.
Can’t go wrong with a good ol TOUR VELVET
Slips right out of my hand when the weather gets hot and humid. I’ve switched to grip masters
@@raybaker8653 i have tour velvet supertack, so tacky that you dont even need a glove
@@markh9246 how durable are those?
@@raybaker8653 so far they are very durable, 5 months in and are still like new, still tacky so less grip pressure neeeded, i used 2 or 3 xs a week. I have 10 spare grips for when i regrip them in future because they are honestly best grip I've used. Simple design, no BS, just a normal grip thats tacky in all weather with decent feedback on shots
i re gripped all my clubs with the align midsize by golf pride and my 3 wood and 4 hybrid with the winn dritac midsize as well and im in love with the winn grips and i want to re grip all my others clubs again but since i spent almost $13 per golf pride i cant see myself spending money again I cant speak on how long the winn grip will last but i have had the winn grip for about 4 months maybe 6 rounds of golf and i use my 4 hybrid on most par 5s and so far it has done well
