Haven't seen that before, not even on their website yet. Been playing the Jumbomax Ultralight XL's now for almost 2 years. Best grips I've EVER PLAYED!!!!

This is going on my driver.....like a combined tour velvet & jumbomax UL 

 

If what I'm seeing is correct

Thats what it looks like to me.  Could consider these as I like the idea of the grips but hated the texture of the current models.

[Tupperwolf]

I don't mind the texture. Of course these get shown off the day after I finish regripping my whole set with Ultralites. Lol. I will wait to see what these are like. Not a fan of the neon green but maybe that could be blacked out with a sharpie. 

[capking]

I do miss the tour velvet feel, would definitely switch. Too bad I just re-gripped and have about 6 extra grips haha.

[dkochalka]

I recently put the jumbo max xs on my driver and 3 wood and has made an incredible difference.   Love em and will try these new grips asap.

The Zen Lites look like JMX UltraLite STR8, the butt end looks exactly the same. 

 

For reference, the standard JMX UltraLites are rounded

 

Perhaps the same product, rebranded?

If they have the option to have Arccos integrated while being lightweight I will be 100% in.  They look janky as hell screwed into my current Ultralite grips.

I have been trying to call Jumbomax today to ask this question but nobody's answering, ha!  I actually asked this via their website contact form a while ago and received this response:

 

"Unfortunately, the current manufacturing process for the Ultralite grips is not compatible with creating the cavity for the Arccos sensor.  This is something that we are working on but I don't see it happening in the near future."

[Tupperwolf]

I figured I'd ask again and got a response from Chris Plummer,

 

"The ZenLites should be coming out around May. They will be offered in sizes from Standard Oversize to XL. They will weigh about 10 grams heavier than the Ultralites so still about the same weight as standard grips. They will not accomodate the embedded Arccos sensors unfortunately."

The real question is if they will accommodate the screw in sensors since the ultralights do not either unless you modify them.

I've been using the screw in sensors on my Ultralites, no problems. They back out a thread or two occasionally, one could easily keep them stuck in place with a dab of Shoe Goo but I don't mind.

If you cut up some grip tape and wrap a layer or 2 around the threads they stay on even if they back out a bit.

Will these be a less taper design 

[Dill Pickleson]

That JumboMax source is legit, but it’s really hard to predict when grips will get grips made overseas these days and how long they’ll take to ship. All that to say it’s really hard to give an exact timeline!

[cw1209]

Now listed on the Jumbomax website. Anybody try these yet?

Just put them on my driver and 3 wood. I have the JumboMax Ultralite Standard-Jumbo on my irons (for reference) and an XS ultralite on my hybrid (hello never go left club).

Really like it. I think I'll stick with these going forward. Slightly firmer than the ultralite and seems like it'll be far better in mixed conditions (the ultralites in wet are not great) - they are also rounded without a seam line so for adjustable shafts (Tsi3/TM Fiarway)) I like it if I ever do change the setting

 

So yeah, 10/10 would recommend

[capking]

If you’re in Canada Golftown has them now and they’re on sale

[lowlofted]

Got jumbomax grips on all my clubs!

[capking]

My order came in and these have the feel of the normal tour velvets I used to play but are the size of a baseball bat. I’ll try them out on the course Monday 

[zaccaf]

Just ordered a set with the Black Friday deal they have going. Can’t wait to give ‘em a go

[ben7e]

After trying a bunch of "normal" grips and even a smaller Jumbomax, I think I am going to actually go slightly larger than I was playing and order some Medium Jumbomax since they have their sale going on.

For those of you who have played these, how would you compare the tackiness of the Zens vs Ultralite? or even the tours? I've only played the Ultralites.

The ultralights are so tacky that it was noticeable going to the zens. Took a bit to get used to again.

Interesting. So they are less tacky than the Ultralites but I would expect the grip to be more "aggressive" if that makes sense? Is that the case? I don't think of the Ultralites as overly tacky compared to some others but I guess mine aren't exactly new any more. I would think the Zens would be better in wet conditions but I like the Ultralite feel quite a bit normally.

I only was able to use them once before winter here and had no range. Too me they feel like normal tour velvets grip wise.

i play the zen on my wedges and UL's on the rest of my back......they are very "firm" which is something I really like to have for wedges grips......100% a head thing but i feel like it gives me better feel for those <100% wedge shots, as well as the chipping/pitching
