Pure grips

[OfficeNerd]

I am not sure if I am posting this in the right forum. If this topic needs to be moved please let me know.

 

I need to regrip this season, and have looked at the Pure grips based on the ability to install with just an air compressor.

 

So i have a couple of questions.

 

1. Can o do this with other grips or is just Pure grips.

 

2. Does anyone have experience with pure grips?

I have played the last two seasons with pure grips and I wouldn't change them for the world. You can install any grip with an air compressor however, pure grips do not require solvent or double-sided tape.

Only caveat is if you use a Game Golf device, the tags fall out of Pure grips like nobody's business in my experience. That's a bit of a deal breaker for me, but I've heard many great things about them.

Appreciate this insight. I currently do not have a game golf. However I had been thinking of picking one up.

I currently play the Pure Pro Midsize with a unique tape job. I have tinkered so much with wraps of tape that the Pure grips have been a perfect fit. They last significantly longer than standard grips and play better in wet weather than any other grip I have tried.

Just checked out those grips yesterday while waiting on a shaft install. I love how tacky they feel, will definitely check them out next time I need to regrip!

[brkuck]

I have heard about these and the issues with the Game Golf electronics. If you are looking at getting one, you may want to look at Iomic, or a GP Tour Wrap. To me, the Iomic is more tacky and they can also be installed with an air compressor.

Pure p2 wraps are awesome. Yes, you can install pretty much any grip with air. Since I bought my first set of pures 5-6 years ago, the only grip I haven't installed with air is a salty cork putter grip. The durability of the pure grips is fantastic as well.

I've played the Pure Pros a few times and love their shape and feel. They were really good for me except in the dead of summer when it hot and humid. The grips were a little slippery for my liking.

 

Also, I prefer a firm butt cap. The Pure Pro grips I was using have a rather soft/flimsy butt cap (when compared to the a standard grip like a Tour Velvet) that seems to hang over about 1/4". I don't care for that.

I am on my second season using the Pure grips. By far my favorite grip. I like the feel and the tackiness. They clean very easily with soap and water and the easy installation makes them a tinkerers dream. They stretch easily to make them skinnier if needed and can be built up with plain old masking tape when you need a larger grip.

Hot Rod - I'm a tour velvet guy. Is the Pro Pure grips version of the velvet?

Absolutely. I've lost quite a few tags since playing Pure Grips.

 

However, I use a little bit of silicone gel under the tag now. Almost acts like a glue and my tags don't fall out any more.

[Hot Rod 71]

I have 15-20 Pure Pro standard grips with 5 or 6 rounds on them. If anyone is looking for some in great used condition at an affordable price, PM me.

Love my Pure p2 wraps. They do get super slick in the rain. My solution is to not play in the rain. Pretty easy.

[coreyl]

I used them with Game Golf during last season and did not have a single tag fall out, maybe I was just lucky.

 

Also, keep an eye out for the Pure Pro grip kits on Amazon, they drop the price on them all the time. I have bought 3 complete kits of 13 grips with the air tool for $21 each...insanely good deal!

Couldn't you just install the Game Golf tags with a small bit of Goop or other silicone adhesive that would hold them in place but be easily twisted off if you wanted to remove it? I'm planning on doing this with my Golfpad Golf Tags just for a bit of extra security.

That's exactly what I do. Works perfectly so far.

I've been playing PURE for at least 4 or 5 years now. Dead of summer, humid swamp golf, never had issues with clubs slipping in my hands. And I don't use a glove. I play the Pro model. Easy peazy on and off with my compressor. For sure a bit of adhesive will keep any device thingy in place.

 

Can't say for slippage in rain, I'm fully fair weather. Rain means I'm staying in the clubhouse nursing a cold 16oz and a few of their brothers....

Love the Pure DTX. I always played cord grips before and to me the DTX feels similar.

[mossy723]

Just switched to Pure DTX midsize and they feel like a million bucks. Used to use GP Tour wraps and loved them until I had to play 9 in the rain. DTX are fantastic.

[MattMo]

Add me to the list of DTX users. I initially purchased some Pros, but seller accidentally sent me DTX. Rather than send back I gave them a chance and glad I did. Unique texture took some getting used to, but after a range session I grew accustomed. Haven't tried them in wet / humid conditions, so I cannot comment on that, but they feel better in colder weather than the Lamkin UTX I had previously.

[Rickochet2]

Changed to Pure Pro last summer. Here in S FL it gets very steamy in the summer time. I can't tell you how much confidence I have to take a full swing & know that the club is secure in my hands.

 

Loved them so much that I bought all I could while the 2 Golfsmith stores were going out of biz here. Think I have close to 30 that I paid less than $2 per grip.

[GCS]

I used them for a brief period but as soon as the Central Florida heat and humidity crept up, along with my sweaty hands, I had a hard time with them. I did enjoy the look and feel during my short time with them.

[mwmgolfx]

I use the PURE Jumbo's. I play all over, including a lot in central Florida during the summer and never had an issue with them slipping, rain or shine. I also use some Tacki-mac oversized non-tapered serrated grips as well. Biggest issue for both is my arthritic hands sometimes loses control of the club (usually my right) and then i don't have any hold on the club at all.

 

Hoping Pure comes out with a non-tapered grip sometime. i don't like putting 6-8 wraps or more under the bottom of my grips to get the bottom size the same as the top. I really prefer having it non-taperd.

 

But PURE do last a long time and do feel very soft (softer than the tacki-macs but the tacki-macs are way better in rain).

 

Probably only have 150 rounds on some of my Pure grips and they're still good. I do check them several times a year. With some of the other brands, i would only get 30-40 rounds before significant noticeable wear and I'd end up changing grips 4-6 times per year. Tacki-macs last about 150-200 rounds on average. Pure are still going since i put them on.

[peteco]

I know this topic is old but I want to add that my experience with the Pure Jumbo wrap grips has been great. Easy to install and they grip great for me, even when wet. I do clean the grips frequently which helps. They last much longer than previous grips I have used.

 

I was at a big golf store in Orlando last summer and they had stopped selling the Pure grips, supposedly because they did not sell well. I think they dropped them because they last so much longer it cut into their grip business.

I know the store you are talking about and they did stop selling them as I bought them there a few times. I really liked the Pure grips and their versatility. I just switched to leather grips and am even more impressed. They went on easily with air are super tacky (like to play without a glove) and from a durability standpoint should last 3 seasons which will more than make up for their cost given I regrip every year and buy 6 high quality gloves a year. Just not having to buy gloves will pay for them.
