The new Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 grips are....

[Tmpr111]

....freaking awesome! I've played the NDMC for years but these 360's are amazing! I no longer have to worry with my OCD and the lettering and lines being straight, and the actual "feel" in my hands and during contact (w/ i20's) is better than ever! ...just thought I share in case anyone is in the market for new skins!

[slide13]

Wish they came in midsize....

[bshovers]

was looking thru the golfworks magazine at the country club today...can you explain to me the difference between the new tour velvets and the older ones?

[avgjoe]

I like these... they have no logo compared to "older" ones, and feel a bit softer to me. if your ocd is severe, you will still want to align the logo on the butt cap

[Fourmyle of Ceres]

Can you get them in .580" with reminder rib?

If not, guess I'll have to pass...

[Toddo64]

I have the new GP TV 360's on my clubs and am really impressed, they do have a soft feel. I think I am fixing to add some tape to my sand wedge and bump it up a little bit. I put these even on my fairway woods, driver and hybrid and have been impressed, though I think I am going back to the Tour Wrap for the driver.

[Tmpr111]

They're definitely softer and have more tread it seems than the older ones. I elected to not add extra tape even though they are really slim, but I just didn't want to lose any feel. I've gripped every club but the putter of course, with these grips.

[avgjoe]

and they are exactly like the new titleist grips, other than the logo and core (.580 for titleist .600 for tv360). compared em side by side today. fyi

[johnstitch]

And they're off! My new SM4 came with one of these instead of the standard tour velvet. It lasted a week, just didn't seem to fit my hands at all well.

[HawkeyeDan]

I think that the new 360's (and the new Titleist grips also) feel like the VDR without the channels, if you have ever felt a VDR before. I do think they are slightly softer than the regular Tour Velvets.

[sdrem]

These are meant for the clubs with adjustible heads, so they will look the same in any position if the shaft orientation changes. If you want midsize they can be built up with extra tape. A rib would be a bad thing if you made an adjustment to an adjustible driver. Some people will like them on all their clubs, they have a good look and feel.

[metrybill]

These grips came on my Titleist AP1's. Terrific. Give it a try.

May keep the New Decade Multicompound on my 54* and 58* wedges for awhile for the extra grip security greenside.

[nova6868]

I put these on all my clubs. I think 360 grips should become the norm.

[HawkeyeDan]

Lamkin makes good 360 grips also, in the the 3Gen material, and can typically be had on the cheap.

[craniac76]

Tried it... and didn't like it. Tour Wrap 2G still is the softest grip from GP.

Reminder rib would kind of go against 360* design, as when you rotate your shaft to say a lower loft setting on TM (90*) your rib is now facing a different way.

I think Golf Pride has got it right: Moisture Management / Feedback / Surface Texture (traction, grip security)

In my opinion, it's grip security v. softness and feedback.

No doubt these [i]feel [/i]great but the performance was lacking. I get the attraction and tried these for a season; but I don't think these work in hot, humid, moist, or wet weather very well.

Now compare to the qualities of the Tour Velvet 360.

http://www.golfpride.com/grips/tour-velvet-360/ (TV 360)

and the qualities of the New Decade Multicompound. (NDMC)

http://www.golfpride.com/grips/tour-velvet-360/

My impression is that these TV 360's offer a little more shock absorption (ground contact) than the now Classic TV's and offer very good grip security in all conditions but without the harshness of the NDMC.

Another grip to try is the Avon Chamois, great shock absorption, soft feel, and grip security. My main problem with the Chamois is it has some twisting (torque) issues, not in the grip itself but in the material. My guess is that is why this grip doesn't attract more high level players, who don't want to add another variable to their swings and impact.

I played the Royal SandWrap grips for years.

Different strokes (uh, grips) for different folks. For me now, it's the TV 360 in every club but the short game scoring wedges, the latter of which require the greatest grip security for the lightest grip pressure. Maybe for the driver, too. Odd, huh: light grip pressure for the scoring clubs and very secure grip pressure for the flailing action of the hands for the Bomber?

Good golfing. Enjoy.

Performance is the best so far for me. I live in an area where wet weather happens almost daily. No problem so far.

I can't never understand about shock absorption from a grip. Whatever grips I have used in the past, it still feels sting when I mishit my irons.

[tjumper78]

i put them on 3 of my irons 2 weeks ago, and i really like them.
it does feel softer and tackier than the regular tour velvets.
i dont know what the durability is like yet of course.
