Tour Dragon Skin 360 grips - 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge

$18 per grip is a tall ask with the plethora of other high quality grips from more established brands on the market.  Maybe they are great, but I most likely will never know.

I tried one of their grips -- the red one from this post: 

 

It was actually pretty impressive! It was firmer, and the texture really stood out -- a lot like using a corded grip, without the actual cord. But it was fairly tacky, too. I could see someone who doesn't use gloves really liking these. 

 

I only bought one, just to test out of curiosity, and it was on a shaft I didn't end up keeping, so I can't speak to how they hold up long-term. But I liked them. If they were an option on a build for around the same price as MCCs or Iomics or something, I'd happily go with them.

 

One other note: They were definitely thicker in diameter than something like a Tour Velvet. Felt like maybe +1/32, plus a couple extra wraps under the bottom hand? I'm just guessing here; like I said, I no longer have that grip so I can't measure or anything. But definitely a little bigger than a standard Tour Velvet but smaller than a midsize Tour Velvet, and with a little extra thickness under the bottom hand.

I haven't used a glove in a while, don't know exactly when I quit but it's been quite a few years. When I stopped using a glove I actually had Iomic Sticky 2.3's on my clubs but when I was done paying the high prices just to re-grip, I switched to the Golf Pride Tour Velvet Aligns and they are plenty good enough for my hands. I do not get along with super tacky grips. Doubt I'll try these but at least they have a cool name!

I gave them a try in standard and firm.  High quality, no question about that and I'm sure the life span is longer than many others.  The caveat for me is the taper.  It is individual for all of us.  So many options on the market I found it not worth the effort fussing with the wraps for the profile I wanted.

Dragon skin? Is this the same company that used to make body armor for soldiers?

Good feedback - would love to try one of these out as well, but $18 is quite a bit for an under the radar brand.

I had a couple still have a couple left, very firm feeling which surprised me. Like the previous post like a cord without the cord, I also removed mine and never tried one again.
