The UTX grips are fine in varied temperatures. I played in both extreme heat and chilly mornings, and they felt consistent. However, I can see them wearing out faster in sandy conditions.
To be honest, it’s hard to find a perfect grip. I’ve tried the UTX grips, and while good, they don’t seem to outlast others I’ve used. Could be a mixed bag depending on personal use.
Totally agree with you! Maybe grips are like shoes—they fit differently for everyone and wear out based on our unique styles.
I’ve got to say, I had a friend who used UTX grips, and with a bit of sand in his bag, he joked he would need to buy new ones by spring! Thankfully, they have a good warranty!

I’ve been using Lamkin UTX grips for a few months now, and I really appreciate the tackiness and comfort. They definitely compare well with other grips like Golf Pride, though I find UTX gives better feedback during swings.
That’s good to know! I’ve heard they’re priced competitively at around $10-12 per grip, right? How do they hold up over time compared to, say, Wilson grips?
I switched to Lamkin UTX from Golf Pride, and I noticed that the UTX grips are a bit softer and have a different feel. Personally, I prefer the firmness of Golf Pride, but I know many who love the UTX.

Good point, emmaskinner! It’s all about personal preference in grips. I’ve found the UTX’s materials are very durable, which is a big plus for me. Anyone had them wear down quickly?

I haven’t experienced any wear issues so far, but then again, I play only a few times a month. Would love to hear from frequent players if they find durability an issue.
I find the Lamkin UTX grips a joy to use! The color options are also fun. But are they really worth switching to if you’re already used to something else? It feels pretty personal.
I’m curious about that too, grahameric! I currently use a cheaper grip. How do the UTX grips compare in terms of value against others at that price point?

I’ve got to admit, I was skeptical at first. UTX grips? Really? But after trying them, I can say they do offer solid performance. Think I’m finally convinced to stock up on them. What about rainy days? How do they hold up?
In my experience, the UTX grips perform relatively well in wet conditions—definitely better than some rubber grips I’ve used.
One thing to remember is that price shouldn’t be everything. The quality of a grip can contribute significantly to your game! I’ve heard too many stories of skimping on grips that backfire!
Totally agree with you, turnertricia! Investing an extra few bucks for a good grip can change everything. Just think of your swing suffering because of a cheap grip—yikes! It’s almost a comedy sketch.
