Best cord grips available

[browan521]

I was a huge fan of the V-55 cord grip and even though they went out in 12 or 13 I was still able to find them on the bay or discount golf websites. Now I can't find them at all. Looking for good alternatives from those that used to play those and have switched. Thanks

Never played those but I'm a huge Lamkin crossline cord fan

I've been using the Lamkin UTX cord grip since last year. It's soft on the hands and doesn't slip when wet. They seem to stay tacky much longer than the Golf Prides too.

I like the Golf Pride Tour Velvet BCT. Since they went to the Brushed Cotton they are that little bit softer on the hands but remain really hard wearing.

Agree with this. The UTX cords are not aggressive, but combined with the tacky material, you get a lot of traction. Very good combination of both.

 

If you need the "tear your skin off" type cord, then the GP Z Grip is probably what you want. The Lamkin Crossline cord is a close second.

Oh and if you don't mind the Victory cords and not the V55, GP did re-release those. Pretty easy to find at the local big box stores too.

Victory Cord is what is on my clubs currently

+1 for the Tour Velvet BCT. I've got really sweaty hands, and these are great for grip without tearing your hands up.

Multicompound will always be my favorite. All weather performance, comfy bottom hand.

 

Crossline cord if you want something more aggressive.

[browan521]

Thanks for all of the replies! The summer season is right around the corner and I get really sweaty hands so definitely looking for my grips to be super tacky. Tried the multi compounds on a couple of clubs and didn't feel they maintained their tack.

Another +1 for the tour velvet BCT. Work great for high humidity and sweaty hands!

I was exactly the same. I've had a couple of goes with the MCC but never been impressed with it which I think probably makes me in the minority but I just felt that it got really dry and uncomfortable to hold.

I've been playing the pre-BCT GPTV, BCT GPTV, Lamkin Tour Blake, and Lamkin Crossline for quite a while. I'm my most recent regroup I wanted something a little different so I grabbed a set of the Lamkin UTx Wrap and have been very impressed. I didn't like the lack of cord in the black UTx Wrap (perhaps it was just the batch that I got?) but the blue ones are very nice. A touch tackier than I'm used to but not annoyingly so like some others. The grip is also a touch softer than what I've played in the past so building them up with a layer or two of tape doesn't make them rock hard. I've only been using them for a week or so but, thus far, I don't have any complaints. I certainly like the UTx wrap better than the standard UTx.

I play the GP Z-Cord on my clubs, I've played the BCT Cord but after 3 months there is no tackiness. The Cord even wore down until it's too slippery. I liked them at first but they don't last near as long as the Z Cord. They also don't make them in midsize which is another reason I don't use them, but I don't know if that matters to you or not. If I could get free grips and get my hands on the BCT in midsize that's what I would use but until that happens I'm perfectly fine with Z Cords. Yes they are harsh on the hands the first two weeks but I've adjusted to them and they have lasted me a whole season in Alabama with no problems

Tour Velvet BCT or MCC

[Playerbb]

The ping stock grips with cords have always been great.

[meaks17]

If you are looking for tacky and corded definitely check out the Lamkin UTX.

[360_CS]

I like the Z Cords.

[migolfke]

I switched to the Zcords this year after using the NDMC for years. So far I like them a lot. In cold wether, they ca be a bit harsh. I haven't thought about the trip at all during my rounds, which means to me they are doing the job.

[jph4387]

I've always played Lamkin crossline cords. Just dropped my clubs off to get brand new MCC's to give them a go.

[mcc0819]

Z Cords, hands down

Currently deciding between the Golf Price Z-cord and the Lamkin UTX grips. Cant go wrong with either!

[Vinnieluvv]

I prefer MCC's but picked up a couple sets of Golf Pride Victory Cord Standard grips for $2.97 a piece. Can't turn down that price.

Keegan Bradley spec Crossline Cords with ACE,

+1

 

I use these on my irons and wedges with Z-Cords on my woods and the Ace Crossline Cords are by far my favorite cord grip ever made

[Shakester]

My Nike Vapor driver came with a Z Grip and I don't like it at all. I switched it to a SuperStroke TX1 and love it. You should check them out.

I wondered the same thing myself: was it just the batch i got? i've purchased several black UTx grips from different sellers (including directly from lamkingrips.com), and the black UTx always seem to have less cord on their surface for some reason. the red UTx grips that came stock on my srixon irons were much more densely filled with cord on their surface and are the best grips i've ever felt (compared to NDMC, MCC+4, lamkin z5).

[Santiago Golf]

When ever Super Stroke goes main stream with their cord grip. I have had few of the proto types and its shocking that they don't sell them. They are really good and I am not just plugging

My black UTx grips came directly from Lamkin. When I called to ask for an exchange the rep sounded surprised and said that shouldn't be the case but was happy to swap them out for me. I just stick to the blue ones now, although they're getting hard to find.

The UTx are amazing, and considering you can usually find a deal on them, they are hard to beat. Not only do they have the grip you associate with cord, but they have a next level tackiness. I really liked the GP Z-Grips but I think the UTx may be better.
