All right. In this hand, I’ve got four of the most popular Golf Pride grips. And in this hand, I’ve got four of the new Superstroke grips. We’re going to see how they match up. Let’s go. [Music] Hi everyone. Welcome back to the channel. Hope you’re having a wonderful day. So, in case you didn’t know, Superstroke, pretty much known as primarily a putter grip company. Well, they have recently acquired Lamin. Lamin has been around for a very long time making golf grips. This is probably their most iconic grip that most people will recognize, the Lamin Cross line, but they have made many, many very popular grips. So, what I’ve got today are four of the most popular Golf Pride grips. And I’ve got four of the new Superstroke grips that I think are a very close comparable grip to those grips. So, what we’re going to do today, we’re going to be hitting each of these grips sort of side by side and seeing how the Superstroke grip matches up with the extremely popular Golf Pride grip and hopefully give you a little better idea if you are using one of these Golf Pride grips. if maybe you want to check out one of these Superstroke alternatives. Okay, first up we’re going to go with what is the most popular grip ever, I think, which is Golf Pride Tour Velvet rubber style grip. Uh, good amount of texture to it, not too firm, not too soft. If I was going to sort of put this grip on a scale of one side of it being feeling like a tire, you know, a car tire, something harder rubber with a lot of traction and a lot of sort of uh texture to it. And on the opposite end, something more like a rubber super ball that you used to play with as a kid and you’d bounce it and it would go up in the air 150 ft. Uh it’s much tackier, it’s softer, doesn’t necessarily have as much texture to it. This grip is going to fall kind of right in the middle, maybe leaning slightly more towards the tire side. Overall, all of these grips, uh, one without a glove. I’m not going to use a glove for any of this because if we’re testing grips, I really want to make it as difficult for the grip as possible. So, no glove. And then secondly, we’re going to hit all these with two different setups. The first one dry. The second one, I’m going to spray it down with some water, towel it off quickly, and we’re going to hit it wet and see how these grips not only perform when they are nice and dry, but also if they’re not so much. There’s a better one there. Yeah, grip is nice. It’s got good texture. It’s firm, but it’s not too firm. kind of just does everything you want a grip to do. Always one of my top picks for grips. All right, now let’s spray it down a little water. Give it a quick towel off. Just like that. Just a tiny bit of moisture. I can still feel on it, but and yeah, it’s a touch slicker, but not by much. I don’t really have any worry that my hand’s going to slip off of this grip. Yeah, this one gets always high marks. This is what they’re calling the 2.0. looks very similar to the Lampin Crossline 360 grip that they had. Uh, and of course it has the same basic texturing uh, pattern to it that the original Crossline had. Similar texture, similar pattern to what tour velvet has. So, we would expect this one to be pretty close. Feels a lot a lot like a tour velvet. Uh price on these Super Show Crossline 2.0 about $6. So, pretty much exact same price as the tour velvet. Little water. Well, I hit that one way off the toe, so it did slip a little in my hand, but didn’t really feel like I lost control of it. That was really just a pretty good toe strike. That one was pretty good right there. So, yeah. Yeah. Dry and wet. Very similar to the Tour Velvet. All right. Next up, we’ve got another super popular grip. This is the Golf Pride MCC. Lots of grip, lots of good texture to it. You do not feel like there is any chance that the club is going to slip out of your hands when you’ve got a grip like this. And even if you miss one really badly like that, you still have a good hold on the club. Let’s spray it down with a little water. See what it does there. I have no doubt though that this one is going to perform. That was a good swing. Was a good shot. Didn’t notice any kind of slipping. You can feel the slightest little bit of water. And yes, sort of in the more tour velvety section of it, you can feel maybe a tiny bit, but it’s it’s very very very slight. Yeah, another really really solid one right there. Okay, now we’ve got the Superstroke Revel. I think it’s just Revel. Re Vl. I don’t think you’re supposed to pronounce each letter, but uh we’re going to say Revel element. And this is going to be when you look at it, it has a lot in common with that MCC. So, it’s essentially kind of a hybrid of two grips in one. On this top portion here, you can see we’ve got that cord embedded into the rubber. It’s a little bit firmer. It’s supposed to give you more texture that way, better grip. And then down here on this section, it’s more of that more traditional rubber tour velvety style of grip down here. Good grip there. Lots of texture. does again have a little bit more tackiness to it. And uh and I can kind of feel that in my hands. So that was a little skinny, but we’ll get away with it. Again, no slipping of any kind while it’s dry. Quick towel off. It’s hit pretty well. I do feel I feel like the bottom hand on this section down here slipped around a little bit more uh than I’ve gotten in the previous grips. That was a nice swing. And yeah, so there now it’s essentially dried back out after that first swing. And now I get some of that tackiness back and I don’t really notice it. So definitely on that first swing I did feel though a little bit of slipping. This grip is now going to get into uh more of that kind of super ball feeling. It’s not quite as firm. It’s got a little squishier type of feel to it and a little bit more tackiness to it. Uh not overly tacky. Really kind of softer with a little bit of tackiness to it. Price on these guys $11. Little towy, but not terrible. No issue with uh losing the club at all. A good amount of grip to it. Nice soft feel in the hands. So, it was a little bit skinny, but it’ll still work. Not terrible. Did feel a little bit up here at the very very kind of cap part here, which I do kind of hold it right there, uh, the cap section in the bottom of my hand. So, I did feel it slip around just a touch. Not Not bad. Another slightly towy shot. That one felt better. Again, dried out a little bit more. And yeah, overall maybe a little better than I was uh thinking it would be. Essentially, if you remember the Lamin UTX grip, uh the patterning that that grip had, that’s what’s going on here. So, it’s a rubber grip. It’s a firmer rubber. Again, more like the Tour Velvet, more like the Crossline 2.0. Again, more on that tire side of the scale, but it’s not uh as textured as the either the Crossline 2.0 or the Tour Velvet. Price on this guy, $8 per grip. Good swing. Good strike. Feels really good. If it wasn’t for the difference in the texture of it, it it would feel pretty much like a again a tour velvet or that crossline 2.0. Another good one there. Not surprising at all. It wasn’t bad at all. I do feel like it I do feel like it has a little bit uh a little more slippiness to it. You can kind of you can kind of see what I’m doing here just with my thumb. And again, this is after now of 30 seconds or whatever. Now it’s starting to dry out again. But definitely without that extra texture to it that those other grips provide, it can get it can get just a touch a touch slick. Another good one there. Again, now this dried back out a little bit. I get more of that texture back in it. And uh yeah, again, a little bit better now. So, this one overall, if I’m being completely honest, I’m gonna go Crossline 2.0 all day over this one. This is the Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G. This one is here today. I’ve got it in white, but it comes in black. It comes in other colors, too. Uh $9 per grip. This is definitely going to be of the grips that we have tried today from Golf Pride. This one is going to be the most on that super ball side of the scale. So, it’s a little squishier. Definitely has a lot more tackiness to it when it’s dry than those other grips. Wellruck shot there. Another good one there. Again, when it’s perfectly dry, I’ve got no issues with it. It’s just the understanding that uh Well, let’s see. Tow it off. That was a little heavy again. I could kind of feel it slipping in these last couple fingers on my upper hand. That was a good swing there. And now we’ve gotten the tackiness back again. Am I going to hold one? Ah, getting close. All right, that one felt better. And the tackiness did start to come back again. I just can’t I just can’t do it. This grip is just if it gets it all wet, unless you keep it exceptionally dry, I find it to be problematic. And there’s other grips out there that don’t have that issue. So, for me, it’s it’s just not my thing. This one again is the most I was kind of back and forth on this one. Is it more like the CP2? Is it more like the Tour Rap 2G? Is it Is it probably somewhere in the middle? I think that’s probably the best way to describe it is it’s it’s not quite as uh tacky as the Tour Wrap. Uh, so in that way it’s a little bit more like the CP2, but it’s a little bit firmer, which is more like the tour wrap, I think, versus the CP2. So, he pulled it again. Not the grip’s fault. No issues with the actual grip itself there. That was just And that was a better swing. Let’s see what happens. Little slippy. Little bit slippy. Oh, that one. Interestingly, that one I felt like slipped more than the first one. I think my hands may be just getting a little bit sweaty now after hitting a bunch of balls. All right, we’re going to give it one more chance. It’s still slipping. Yeah, this one this one maybe gets the lowest ranking on the slipping scale or the wet scale. I think because of all the little kind of micro cavities that they have in here, these tiny little tiny little dots and holes. I think basically that’s just a good hiding spot for water to get in. And when you wipe it off with a towel, it doesn’t necessarily get it all out. And then when you start to grip it and swing it, it’s still there and you get a little bit of your hand hydroplaning on the grip. Okay, final recap of all the grips we tested. Uh, Golf Pride Tour Velvet. It’s fantastic. Always a good option. Good price, good wet, good dry, does everything you want it to. Superstroke Crossline 2.0. Again, another fantastic grip. Very, very, very similar to the Tour Velvet. A little bit cheaper, but great grip, great texture, great wet, great dry. Does everything you want it to do. Really, really good grip. Golf Pride MCC. Extremely popular. People love it. Gives you great traction. It’s not my personal favorite, but again, wet and dry, really good. It’s a little expensive, and I don’t love that you can’t really turn it upside down without having your thumb right on that seam, but again, overall, really solid SuperStroke Revel. Again, sort of MCC like in the two different materials. Very close overall. I would say I like the dry feel of this grip better than the MCC, but I like the wet performance a little bit better in that MCC versus this one. This one wasn’t bad, just not quite as good as those first three. Again, it does give you the ability to flip it upside down and not see anything and not have your thumb on a seam. And it’s a little bit cheaper than the MCC. Golf Pride CP2 Pro. Again, really popular if you like a softer grip, but again, if it gets wet, it’s going to slip around on you a little bit more. So, just be aware of that. The Superstroke Revelers, this grip, this grip just confuses me. I do not quite get who is going to play this grip. I think the Crossline 2.0 is a way better grip. Better texture, similar feel, better texture, way better when it is wet, and it’s less expensive. So, I don’t know. This one, just get the Crossline 2.0. Golf Pride tour a wrap. I know. Don’t give me a bunch of hate down in the comments about my dislike of this grip. It’s just too slick. It’s just too slick. If it gets wet, it is slippery. There is a reason why you never see this grip anywhere on the professional tours pretty much because Yeah, it’s just too slick. Finally, Superstroke Revel Comfort. Same kind of deal as the tour wrap. It’s just in fact actually it’s worse than the tour because it’s fine when it’s dry. When it’s wet because of those little microp perforations, you can’t get the water out of there. It’s hidden in there and it keeps it keeps it sliding around in your hand. So again, this one not my favorite. I know I’ve got my own opinions on all these grips, but if a CP2 or if a Tour Wrap 2G works for you, then great. Maybe you want to try one of these Superstrokes and just kind of see how that does as well.
