Golf Pride Align grips

Any reviews, good or bad, about these grips? Interested in trying them out. Always be a loyal simple tour velvet user.

I like them. Does it make a difference, I’m not sure. Definitely worth a go though.

MCC Align are my new grips for this yr. The Epic Flash has one on them, love the feel! ;)

Great so far for whatever reason they seem more durable than normal tour velvet

I started to use them just not on wedges

I could see how they would be good on normal square face shots. But was curious about wedges when you open the face. Makes sense to just use a normal round grip on wedges

Actually that's where I've seen the most benefit as it help me feel where the club is in my hands better.

I like them, once my MCC's are a little more tired on my irons i'll replace them with the Aligns.

Won't be putting them on my driver / 3 wood. Not very often I change the loft etc. on my driver / 3 wood but if I do it seems counter-intuitive to have a grip where the alignment will thereafter not sit in the correct position.

Very interesting point. Now that has me really intrigued.

I have them on irons and they feel great but I'm not sure about the strip. I don't feel that as much (but maybe I do and just don't realize?). Have regular tour velvet on wedges and woods.

Just tried a MCC +4 Align out on one of my irons before committing to regripping the whole set. Really like the feel and for sure will install on my full swing clubs. Will go MCC +4 on my wedges.

The back line really helps me know where the club face is and can open and close at will. Am thinking about the driver, but only once I have committed to a setting and I know I won't change it. Otherwise, the back-line would mess with me if it wasn't where it is supposed to be.

Save your money and just buy the tour velvet ribbed version. Half the price and the same "technology" that's been around for 40 years. Grips have gotten stupidly expensive!

Good point. I guess the “align” feature just gives you a visual aid of the ribbed grip. Maybe helps with installation??

Hate that I put them on my adjustable woods. And when I think I found the right setting I put one on then rotate the settings and have to replace it!

Only reason I like callaway drivers. This is not a problem lol

The align strip is actually supposed to be installed down.

I got them when I ordered my 919 Tours. TV align with the red strip. Find them excellent and take away another checkpoint when I grip the club. Hands in the same spot every time. Would recommend. Standard grips on my other clubs. Thinking or ordering an s18 gap wedge with one as well.

I have them on 4-pw, hybrids and fairways.

I usually also put one on my driver after i get it dialed in!

Wedges i use normal round tour velvets.

Put the rib anywhere you want it.

I've got mine on top - just the thinnest tywrap available on the shaft with a Bestgrip Microperf on top.

Golfworks do a grip rib pack if you prefer - then you can fit and regrip with whatever (round) grip you prefer.

I had them and loved them then tried going back to regular reminder grips because I got a great deal on them and couldn’t do it. Played 1 round and then ripped them off and put the aligns back on. The align rib is much more pronounced which is great for me because my hands like to wander around prior to getting those. And I have them on every gamer and back up club I own.

Anymore feedback on these. I tried one on a Cally club and really liked it. It seemed helpful and felt good.

Anyone else have after longer use?

A little OT, but if you install them with air, they can be re-aligned to match new club settings.

I had a set of NDMC Align put on my AP2's; they're OK. I would say not worth the premium cost to get them.

I like the NDMC in general but didn't find the Align tech to be anything special; it's just a built in reminder. It doesn't make any difference for me as I square or align the face for the shot first then take my grip.

In some ways they worked ok for me but I find I miss more left with reminder grips. It seems my fingers tend to manipulate the face closed a bit with them.

I do not really notice much difference with the align MCC +4s compared to the normal MCC +4s others than some light staining from the red align ribbing on my golf gloves :/

You bring up a good point. Didn’t even think about what influence the rib may have on the hand control.

I had them for a season on MCC, now back to Tour Velvet cord.

I would not get them again. for numerous reasons -

No BCT,

For adjustable drivers/ woods,

Does it really help?

Do you really feel it?

You pay more,

wedges playing the face angle.

Have 1 midsize align on a 6 iron I bought used. Does not really make a difference and I can’t even feel the align strip. High quality grip though! And I don’t even use midsize usually.

Really CP2 Pro has a better line to align you on the front and back IMO

The rib on the bottom is very noticeable initially, but doesn't feel as pronounced once you have been playing them for awhile.

Im guessing I have just become accustom to the feel.

tried them at first and didn't like them. now i have it on my driver only to help with alignment. working ok for now.

They have wooden ribs you can add to grips for a reminder . I have seen them in the golf works catalog.
