Winn 2.0 Dri-Tac Grips? How are they holding up

BG5 · February 22, 2023

I bought a used G400 max last year and It had a winn dri-tac grip on it and I just loved the feel of it. I have heard reviews that the 2.0 version is supposed to hold up longer than the original version. Is anyone using a winn 2.0 dri-tac? I am thinking of changing my whole set to this grip. Can I get two seasons out of them if I play about 50 rounds a year? Maybe 3 years? I am not super picky I just love the feel of the grip

Our son swears by them, Winn is all he’s used for years. Really sweaty hands. Once a week, no practice, you might get 2 years out of them. They wear quick compared to a Lamkin Crossline per say . You can definitely see and tell which ones get used the most after a full season of regular play.

I tried Winn probably 5 years ago, forget the model, but never fell in love with them. Then I found the wrap version last year and loved the feel. Srixon didn't have the wraps, but had the 2.0s which is what I ordered on my set. Only received the AW but love the grip. I know I didn't remotely answer your question on durability 🙄

But the point is, if you like them play them and don't worry about it. Grips are a consumable and cheap compared to changing clubs etc.

I’ve have the original dri-tac on my MP4s and now my ZX5 mark ii. They wear quickly in my opinion so once they wear out I replace with MCC+4s.

However if the 2.0s last noticeably longer I’d definitely replace with those.

Curious to see the responses…

Feel to me is the rubber a bit firmer, less squishy grip. A bit more durable, if I had to put a percentage on it, 50% more durable? My wear spot is always the heel pad of my top hand at the top of the grip, which is a me problem.

I play twice a week and might hit balls once a week, change grips on an as-needed basis, maybe twice a year, 3x on wedges and Driver/7w.

Bottom line, at $9ish per they’re a bargain compared to some of the $14 or so offerings out there, but I’ve also never been a cord/MCC guy, and I need a little cushion or I will eventually notice wrist/forearm/elbow pain. It’s a good grip for me.

I have them on my irons. Great grip for reducing any harshness or sting. Soft but not mushy. Hold up very well. I play about 35 18 hole rounds each season and 2 season going on three they are just fine. I dont practice much so that cuts down alot of wear.

I heard that alot of people dont wear gloves with the winn grips since they are so soft. Maybe they were speaking of the earlier version that was much softer than the 2.0 version?

Anyhow does anyone not wear a glove with these?

I haven’t worn a glove in 30+ years. 15 year old me got tired of replacing gloves and liked Freddie Couples. But no, my hands do not get chewed up and there’s enough tack IMO
