v rad golf pride putter grips

[G-reg]

I need to regrip my putter (it has an old winn) and I saw the new v rad putter grips by golf pride on the internet. I havent felt one but they supposedly last longer and feel great as it says on golf prides web site. Has anyone felt or tried these? How do they compare to a winn AVS? Thanks.

I just put one of these in my Circa 62. Today was my first round with it but it feels great! VERY tacky, much like a winn, but not quite as soft. Still very soft, softer than a typical rubber grip, but not super soft, kind of mushy like a Winn. I can't comment on durability, but they're great grips. I have the Shock, but my dad has the Silk which is also a great grip. Oh and one other thing, the overall size is slightly thicker, much like the New Decades, but not overly fat.

Thanks. Ill have to check them out.

As above, not as soft as the Winn. I like the feel and have got a Silk to put on my gamer.

I've handled them and will note they are larger in diameter than most grips (larger even than a Baby T) and are on the heavy side for a putter grip, 81 grams, whereas a Winn AVS runs about 60 grams.

Sick grip!

Winn falls way short IMO to the Vrad

Go get it, its cheap and looks and feels great!

A review on these grips:

 

I have the Shock on my scotty since 3 weeks ago and have played a total of 5 rounds in the rain.

 

These grips hold up fantastically in the wet. 1 wipe with a towel and its as good as dry. Not like their tour velvets or the crappy Winns. I must say they should import this technology to their other grips as well.

 

Would be nice to have more design selections too. Big Big thumbs up to its playability. :russian_roulette:

If they would put one out in plain black I'd try one. Why grip companies have to make virtually every putter grip in clown colors and designs is beyond me.

[DoglegRight]

The obnoxious design is a marketing approach. If they can get a prominent tour player to use the grip, it will be easily recognizable to the consumer, the same can be said for Yes' black, white, and yellow grips.

 

I agree that a more traditional VRAD would be worth a shot.

How about v-rad Durability?

How about v-rad Durability?

 

3 weeks: 10 rounds of golf(including 4 in wet soaking rain...we get that alot here) + 12 practice sessions(2 hr sessions on practice green). Grip is still like new. Will most prob update when the grip is ard 2 mths old.

Thanks S70B. I just do not like most of old WINN grip looks and feels like RAG!

No worries. Yeah I hate those winn grips too. When its wet it feels like soap and the Yes! putters also have crappy easily dirtied grips.

 

Now all I need is VRad to be available in Red, Black or Blue. 'Shock' is a little too radical right now but no other complains.

[GenErr]

The putter grip that I've stuck with the longest is the Winn AVS Midsize (grey/silver with red line at top).

 

I've tried various other grips, including the VRad, and always end up going back to the AVS. For me its got the best combination of feel, weight and fits my hands great. The one on my current putter has been on for almost a year and still feels like new.

 

Also, it is not obnoxious looking.

Iomic. Period. best grip i have ever owned, and yes its wort the $ 18 bucks.

More feel, 3 sizes to fit you with, and the ion thing makes all my putts go in!! (sarc. on that last one)

[dgrelecki]

I don't like the V-Rad. Had a standard Yes grip, which is the winn avs. I switched to the V-Rad. It's heavier, harsher, and doesn't feel like the same putter. Needless to say, i'll be switching back. It's a different grip, not to say it's wrong, JMO

[S70B]

Whatever dudes. There may be far superior grips out there in terms of feel and weight like iomic which I agree but they all feel like crap in the wet.

 

I play alot of golf in a tropical country where it rains or has brief thunderstorms practically almost 7 days a week so give me grip over feel any day thanks.

 

P.S. Winn grips still feel like soap in the wet. Found out the hard way. Period.
