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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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 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 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
@@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.
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
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 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!
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 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.
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.
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 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
@@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.
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 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!
Right? I had wear spots after 1 round and twice at the range. Never again. My Golf Pride tour wraps have 100's of range and rounds on them and are still ok.
I get that, I’m not exactly taking a stance for a “winning debate”, just voicing an option. Also I get a solid half a season at least until there’s serious wear personally, and I still play them through the whole year before twisting up. That’s over 100 rounds, every club, driver through wedge.
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 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.
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 always tell people who getting ready to regrip their clubs to just do 1 first and try it. Find the the one you like before spending for the whole set. Otherwise you might be disappointed.
Exactly what I did. Based on my hand size they say I should be using Midsize or Oversize. I did the 6 iron in Matt's second favorite, the less taper DriTac in Oversize, the 8 iron in the same exact grip but LT Midsize, and the 7 iron in the Jumbomax XL. I don't hate the Jumbo/Midsize, but I think the Oversize is the best fit for me.
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!
I've always liked the feel of Winn grips but the durability has always lacked way behind the others. Now that you are in GA those grips will be greatly effected by the humidity and number of rounds you play. Golf Pride and Lampkin all the way for me.
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.
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.
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’ve played Dri-Tacs for a long time. I love the Copper version, super sleek looking! They aren’t the most durable, but nothing better than a Dri-Tac to allow me to have a loose/gentle grip without the fear of letting it go. They also do well when they get wet. Pro tip: don’t wipe the grip with a towel, instead squeeze it. Wiping will destroy it!
Used the Dri-Tac Wraps, #1 in Mr ShortGame video, but they last me 1 season, loved the feel and shock absortion, can yo urecommend me something similar, SAME shock absortion, more durable and cheaper? Thank You.
Winn grips feel great, but you need alcohol to clean them properly and I found don't last but around one season. The Golf Pride tour wraps last several seasons, clean up easily with just water and remain super grippy in sweaty summer heat with just a wet towel wipe.
I'm really happy with the Golf Pride tour wraps, I worked at a course for the past year +, was playing at least 9 holes 7 days a week, plus range time everyday. Still in good shape and feel good.
You can buy cloths for grip cleaning rather than going through the soap & water route. You can get them on Amazon in packs of 15. If you do use soap & water, use something like Dawn dish detergent or any that are grease removers. Many people mistake getting new grips when all they need is to be cleaned.
it's the same out here in Cali. I wouldn't say it's an environmental issue. I just think the polymer they're using on the grips give superior feel but are easier to erode with use. There's a reason those damn nylon stock grips you get on irons are there. They feel like sandpaper, but they'll last a long time for that average golfer that's not worried about feel.
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 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.
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.
@@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
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.
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 like Winn (used to use them) but what annoys the heck out of me is when manufacturers don’t really give any color options. It’s like these are going to be red whether you like it or not. Gp does that with putter grips. I just don’t understand why there aren’t at least a couple options or at least just a plain black option. Great review. That’s way too much work for me changing all those grips just to test.
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
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 😎!
Winn grips are great and are deserving of being number 1 in a quick test however something that forced me to get away from them is how quickly they wear down. Specifically the one you picked as number 1 would last about 10-15 rounds in driver before it needed to be replaced which is just way to often.
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!
Great video, would love to be able to do this for sure!! Left Super Stroke for the Lamkin crossline 1150.. The SS didn't wear well at all in the damp and wet. Using the 1150 (wedge grip) gives me better shot options on the excessively undulated mountain course I play. And it didn't have the logo, just all grip pattern..
I have literally spent thousands of dollars on grips over the last 5-6 years...ended up with good old Golf Pride Tour Velvets! 5.99 a grip. Although, the Lamkin Sonor Tour Grey was nice. But they were 10.99 a grip. I have got really good at removing grips without ruining them though, so I still have tons of grips that were used less then 5 rounds! MCC Plus-4, Lamkin Sonor Tour, Iomic Sticky 2.3, Golf Pride Z-Grip, New Decade, BCT Cord...
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.
I am a Wynn grip devotee. On the tour wrap they do them in different thicknesses. I prefer the jumbo. Great tac + feel. Down side they do not last long as my thumb (RH) and the heel of my (LH) wear the surface. That said - Its a price worth paying for the excellent feel they offer throughout the set.
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 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 tried Winn grips back in the day, they were the only grips I had to replace the next year, due to them falling apart. Definitely didn’t put them on ever again. I like the golf pride MC’s
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.
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 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.
I play often and live on the Gulf Coast, my grips see their fair share of sweat. There is a cleaner called "Greased Lightning" that I use monthly. It works like a champ. I urge you to try it. It makes your grips feel like new. A little scrubbing, rinsing, and air-dry and they will feel like new. Most grocery stores carry it.
I played Winn grips about a decade ago and loved them until I had to play in the rain. What was super tacky in the dry ended up being super slick when wet. They were impossible to play and I ended up withdrawing from the tournament. I'm sure they've improved over the years, but that experience really turned me off. I'd like to know how you'd rate all of the grips when wet.
Winn grips are soft like a sponge. When they get wet it takes for ever for that sponge to dry. Iomic grips are the best. Lowest torque for less twist on off center hits. Be sure to not get knockoffs as they are cheaper but you get what you pay for.
Just put that exact winn grip on my gap wedge with the advice from club builder that they don't last long and once they get wet they lose tackiness. Picked up a golf pride tour wrap as well to test in comparison.
Winn dri-tac is what I use. I could almost play those without a glove. The winn excel mid-size is the 2nd fav. Soft and great for arthritic hands, but they don't last as long as the regular winn dri-tac.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 have been playing the golf pride mcc for about 2 years, thinking of going tour wrap. It feels realy soft in the hand and its pretty tacky. Love the content man keep it rolling.
I’ve been using those Winn Dri-Tac wrap midsize grips for a couple years now and I absolutely love them! They do wear out a lot faster than rubber grips, but I don’t care because they feel amazing.
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
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.
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.👌👍👍👏👏👏
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!
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!
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!
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?
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
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
Wow, you’ve really upscaled. I remember you did vids in your back yard, patchy grass, hit into a net, chickens walk-in around. Life is good.

It helps when you can write it of on your taxes. Mr. ShortGame can.
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 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 switched to the Winn DriTac this season, played Golfpride Align before - I just love the Winn. No comparison in my opinion.
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 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).
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?
Lamkin crossline all day for me but just switched over to lamkin z5 for this season
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
Love the presentation and attitude. Been using CP2 grips for last 5 yrs - v comfortable, long lasting and great feel.
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
I really like the golf pride tour wrap! They just making getting clubs out and in your bag a struggle!😂
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?
I loved the feel of these, but when I get any sweat on my hands they are slippery to me..
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!
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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!!!
The Dri-Tac LTs might be the absolute best grip for sweaty hands. Those things are so grippy it's crazy
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 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
Old school tour velvets. Can't beat them. A native of north ATL, enjoy your channel.
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’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 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!
What you left out was how long the WINN grips usually last before they start falling apart.
I'm sure they had thumb grooves in them by the end of the video.
This is true, but you can pull the grips when they’ve worn out, twist them to align with a fresh traction, and regrip them. Works great for me! 👍
Right? I had wear spots after 1 round and twice at the range. Never again. My Golf Pride tour wraps have 100's of range and rounds on them and are still ok.
@@joshuahanson8543 True but most people want more play from their grips. Not everyone wants to have to twist grips after every round.
I get that, I’m not exactly taking a stance for a “winning debate”, just voicing an option. Also I get a solid half a season at least until there’s serious wear personally, and I still play them through the whole year before twisting up. That’s over 100 rounds, every club, driver through wedge.
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 ?
Lambskin Crosslines for me. I have stuck with them for years. No matter the weather, they are great.
Agree 100%
After being a Golf Pride user for many years I gave the Lamkin Sonar a try and it's excellent.
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 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 use the Winn Dri Tac 2.0 midsize and am loving them.
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 always tell people who getting ready to regrip their clubs to just do 1 first and try it. Find the the one you like before spending for the whole set. Otherwise you might be disappointed.
Exactly what I did. Based on my hand size they say I should be using Midsize or Oversize. I did the 6 iron in Matt's second favorite, the less taper DriTac in Oversize, the 8 iron in the same exact grip but LT Midsize, and the 7 iron in the Jumbomax XL. I don't hate the Jumbo/Midsize, but I think the Oversize is the best fit for me.
that was me.....
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!
I’d like to see a budget grip comparison to your top five. Look on Amazon and get a couple “cheap” top rated grips and compare them.
I’m a big fan of Winn Dri Tacs for shock absorption. They wear out, but better the grip than my wrist
Love the disclaimers. Great to see the grips actually being tested.
I've always liked the feel of Winn grips but the durability has always lacked way behind the others.
Now that you are in GA those grips will be greatly effected by the humidity and number of rounds you play. Golf Pride and Lampkin all the way for me.
I 100% agree with this. I've had full sets gripped in the Dri-Tacs and as they are amazing grips, they just don't last.
Same exact issue. I have Winn on my driver and Lamkin on the rest. Lamkin hold up far better.
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.
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.
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’ve played Dri-Tacs for a long time. I love the Copper version, super sleek looking! They aren’t the most durable, but nothing better than a Dri-Tac to allow me to have a loose/gentle grip without the fear of letting it go. They also do well when they get wet.
Pro tip: don’t wipe the grip with a towel, instead squeeze it. Wiping will destroy it!
Used the Dri-Tac Wraps, #1 in Mr ShortGame video, but they last me 1 season, loved the feel and shock absortion, can yo urecommend me something similar, SAME shock absortion, more durable and cheaper? Thank You.
Winn grips feel great, but you need alcohol to clean them properly and I found don't last but around one season. The Golf Pride tour wraps last several seasons, clean up easily with just water and remain super grippy in sweaty summer heat with just a wet towel wipe.
I'm really happy with the Golf Pride tour wraps, I worked at a course for the past year +, was playing at least 9 holes 7 days a week, plus range time everyday. Still in good shape and feel good.
You can buy cloths for grip cleaning rather than going through the soap & water route. You can get them on Amazon in packs of 15. If you do use soap & water, use something like Dawn dish detergent or any that are grease removers. Many people mistake getting new grips when all they need is to be cleaned.
Best grip is the Tour Velvet Cord there is a Reason Why so many top players use them!
Only thing about Winn grips is they don’t last as long in the Florida heat and humidity. Thanks Matt!
it's the same out here in Cali. I wouldn't say it's an environmental issue. I just think the polymer they're using on the grips give superior feel but are easier to erode with use. There's a reason those damn nylon stock grips you get on irons are there. They feel like sandpaper, but they'll last a long time for that average golfer that's not worried about feel.
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!!
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 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
Been playing your #1 choice grips for like three seasons now. They’re amazing!
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.
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
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.
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
Longevity test those Winn grips for a season...
A season? Try a month of 3x a week play.
I like Winn (used to use them) but what annoys the heck out of me is when manufacturers don’t really give any color options. It’s like these are going to be red whether you like it or not. Gp does that with putter grips. I just don’t understand why there aren’t at least a couple options or at least just a plain black option. Great review. That’s way too much work for me changing all those grips just to test.
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
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 😎!
Winn grips are great and are deserving of being number 1 in a quick test however something that forced me to get away from them is how quickly they wear down. Specifically the one you picked as number 1 would last about 10-15 rounds in driver before it needed to be replaced which is just way to often.
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!
Great video, would love to be able to do this for sure!!
Left Super Stroke for the Lamkin crossline 1150.. The SS didn't wear well at all in the damp and wet.
Using the 1150 (wedge grip) gives me better shot options on the excessively undulated mountain course I play.
And it didn't have the logo, just all grip pattern..
I have literally spent thousands of dollars on grips over the last 5-6 years...ended up with good old Golf Pride Tour Velvets! 5.99 a grip. Although, the Lamkin Sonor Tour Grey was nice. But they were 10.99 a grip. I have got really good at removing grips without ruining them though, so I still have tons of grips that were used less then 5 rounds! MCC Plus-4, Lamkin Sonor Tour, Iomic Sticky 2.3, Golf Pride Z-Grip, New Decade, BCT Cord...
I’ve switched to the Winn DriTac and haven’t looked back. Holds up much better than I expected the in Georgia humidity to.
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.
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 am a Wynn grip devotee. On the tour wrap they do them in different thicknesses. I prefer the jumbo. Great tac + feel. Down side they do not last long as my thumb (RH) and the heel of my (LH) wear the surface. That said - Its a price worth paying for the excellent feel they offer throughout the set.
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.
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 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 like the WInn Dri-Tac but they wear out super quick!
Agree.
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.
I tried Winn grips back in the day, they were the only grips I had to replace the next year, due to them falling apart. Definitely didn’t put them on ever again. I like the golf pride MC’s
Interesting to see how those wrap type grips work in the wet. I use the Z Cord which I love. Ideal for U.K. with all weather conditions.
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.
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.
Clubmakers LOVE WINN grips. Install them then replace them in 6 months - highly recommended for my bottom line.
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.
I play often and live on the Gulf Coast, my grips see their fair share of sweat. There is a cleaner called "Greased Lightning" that I use monthly. It works like a champ. I urge you to try it. It makes your grips feel like new. A little scrubbing, rinsing, and air-dry and they will feel like new. Most grocery stores carry it.
I played Winn grips about a decade ago and loved them until I had to play in the rain. What was super tacky in the dry ended up being super slick when wet. They were impossible to play and I ended up withdrawing from the tournament. I'm sure they've improved over the years, but that experience really turned me off. I'd like to know how you'd rate all of the grips when wet.
Winn grips are soft like a sponge. When they get wet it takes for ever for that sponge to dry. Iomic grips are the best. Lowest torque for less twist on off center hits. Be sure to not get knockoffs as they are cheaper but you get what you pay for.
Just put that exact winn grip on my gap wedge with the advice from club builder that they don't last long and once they get wet they lose tackiness. Picked up a golf pride tour wrap as well to test in comparison.
Winn dri-tac is what I use. I could almost play those without a glove. The winn excel mid-size is the 2nd fav. Soft and great for arthritic hands, but they don't last as long as the regular winn dri-tac.
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 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 ?
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.
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.
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 have been playing the golf pride mcc for about 2 years, thinking of going tour wrap. It feels realy soft in the hand and its pretty tacky. Love the content man keep it rolling.
I just switched to the jumbomax grips, feels so much better
I’ve been using those Winn Dri-Tac wrap midsize grips for a couple years now and I absolutely love them! They do wear out a lot faster than rubber grips, but I don’t care because they feel amazing.
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
Hi, great test. I just put on the Golf Pride Tour Wrap. Love them. Changed out Win Grips, liked them to, but the wear...
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.
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.👌👍👍👏👏👏
