I personally think the Tour Velvet grips are overhyped. They feel good, but I haven’t noticed any significant performance improvement compared to other grips I’ve tried.

I switched to these grips last summer and haven’t looked back! The consistency in feel during different weather conditions has really helped my game.

Absolutely! That’s what I love too. Plus, they look sleek on the club. Definitely a major upgrade for any player!

I’ve had mixed experiences. When new, they feel great, but after some wear, they lose that nice grip and can be a bit slippery.

11

That’s true! Regular maintenance is key. I tend to replace mine more often to maintain that fresh feel on the course.

I’m curious if anyone has tried using these grips with different shaft types? I wonder if that affects the overall feel!

That’s so important! Golf is as much mental as it is physical, and if you feel good about your grip, it can definitely impact your overall game.

Just to add some humor, I would say these grips are like a good pair of sneakers: they may feel great but even the best wear out eventually—unlike my golf skills!

Haha! True that! Maybe that’s why I’ve been considering a new grip every season. Gotta keep that feeling fresh!

I’ve been using Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips for over a year now, and I have to say, they have held up remarkably well. They maintain great traction even after many rounds in both wet and dry conditions.

That’s great to hear! I play a lot in humid weather, and I’ve noticed that the grips do get a bit slippery when wet. How do you compensate for that?

I’ve conversed with others who feel the same. In my experience, I clean them regularly, and that helps prevent slippage. But I’d love to hear how often others change them out. Anyone replaced them after a long time?
