[Battenator12345]

Well I got Golf Digest WITB with Sergio and he said he got True Temper Dynamic Gold Steel then I look on TGC Photos and i see this

 

 

 

Any thoughts on this

[BK!]

Yeah...Sergio just switched to them this week. The info. is on the Taylormade website under their Tour blog.

Whats the site I cant find it

[elnino82]

Sergio with Project X!!

It's good to see fellow PX user.

[JohnnyDub]

Whats the best way to get fitted for the px shaft???? I have always played s400 in the irons and x in my speeders for my woods. can you judge based on that????

[phillypete]

does he do his New Decades upsidedown like Leadbetter?

[carpediembp]

i think you are supposed to use them upsidedown, there is a circular patch on the grip for your thumb to rest, that is if the "golf Pride" is upsidedown.

I'd like to try Project X myself, but not because of Sergio. (I thought I would have done it before he did.)

 

About the grips, is it just me? I like it on my driver, so I have them installed on all of my irons. Bad move, I don't like them. The standard velvet grips feel better.

[phillypete]

I have one on my driver and it is definitely not "suposed" to go logo down...

 

the black cord part is for your gloved had, the red part is for your non gloved hand. there is also a white allignment mark on the logo side.

 

I can understand why Sergio would turn it logo down... he's not getting paid to display their logo so why would he do it for free...

 

But Leadbetter is their spokesman... weird... maybe your right...

[phillypete]

I'm begining to agree with you on the logo down thing...

 

CHIII also has his logo down....

 

[Battenator12345]

Most pros have there grips down... I think.... Tiger.. Erinie...Adam

 

I think it is just a look thing... I have mine down because I dont like the look of the Huge Golf Pride logo

[pgagolf8]

most pros do it because they are usually not being paid by the company to use the grips and feel that it is free advertising

[carpediembp]

i hate the idea of the logo up, i am going to get new decades maybe this summer, but i am strong on having them logo down. i hate having logos up. they srew with my head on alignment, i think im a little too anal about that stuff...

[Simp]

Yep. If you like your logos facing up then they better be exactly square or it'll look wrong at address and mess with ya. If they're facing down it doesn't matter. I like mine down as well. Simp

[tpariff]

For me the logo down is best because I don't like looking at the logo and it makes it faster to regrip them. I always use a round grip and don't have to worry about precise alignment of the logo.

 

I've regripped a buddy's clubs and he likes the logo up. It took me some extra time to make sure logo was aligned properly. It was a huge pain in the arse.

[vthokie1157]

def logo down is the way to go, no distractions and more comfort, especially on the wedges if you grip down and the new decades are def not supposed to go down, btw, i have three of the grips and i have small hands and the bottom spot is for the last fingers of the right hand, not for the thumb which easily reaches the rubber part. there is a reason why the rubber wraps higher around on the bottom and not top.

[rodto3rd]

Its so you dont feel the golf pride logo, say if you have to choke down on a shot. Too bothersome for some.

[maguy1970]

back to Sergio for a moment, the WITB in golf digest has the old forged MB in the bag, hasn't he switched out to the newer ones that retief uses? Obviously an old pic used in the magazine...

 

Also, logo up/down/sideways is all a matter of choice. Back to another magazine article, the newest issue of golf world has a brief piece on grips and how certain people like them certain ways. I think it mentions Darren Clarke likes a ribbed grip turned 1/4 turn so the rib runs down the right side of the shaft. To each their own. I play Tour Velvet midsize, logo down.

[Grant076]

If logo down is "so spectacular" and Golf Pride had intended for the logos to be turned down, why haven't they made a ribbed grip that works with that? Think about it.

[phillypete]

actually if you watch the leadbetter commercial spots real closely you can see that the logo is printed on the backsided of the grip. It must be some TOUR grips.... anyone got a line on these puppies?
