Need help with Iomic grips

Mattco · August 14, 2013

I am looking at trying out some Iomic grips on my Miura Tourney blades but I'm not sure which ones to try first or would be the best fit for what I like.

Currently I use Golf Pride BCT cords and I have used them for the past 10 years if you include Tour Velvet cords. I don't use extra wraps or anything, just standard size with one double sided wrap to hold it in place.

My biggest concern with the Iomic is getting the size closest. I was looking at the Opus 2 but I can't any type of rubber dimensions for the BCT.

Thank you for any help.

I used the iomic sticky 2.3's on a set of i20's and they were FANTASTIC. Soft and gummy, tacky. No issues with slipping and my hands sweat ALOT

How did the 2.3s compare sizewise with the BCT though? That is my biggest concern because I have gotten so used to the size of them.

The BCTs are a relatively small grip in diameter. If you have smaller hands (less than large size glove) then go with 1.8 size and adjust up with tape. Large glove or more go with the 2.3s. I use the 2.3s and use air to install. I stretch them on a wee bit as the only complaint I have ever had with Iomics is they are a little shorter in length than Lamkin and golf pride. This also makes them a tiny bit smaller in diameter which is perfect for me. I have used a couple of 1.8s on shafts that are a little larger in diameter than normal and added a layer of tape to make same as my 2.3s. sorry to confuse things but if you really like the smaller size you have now I would go with the 1.8s. The 2.3s are closer to a lamkin standard grip like a crossline which to me always play larger than most golf pride grips.

Ironically, I have large hands but have always used the tour velvet/BCTs and love the size and feel of them.

I would go with 2.3s then and maybe stretch them on a hair. Iomics really are fabulous grips particularly if you keep them clean ( i clean mine up about every 3 rounds or so. I have had a set on for 2 years and they still feel new where previous lamkin and golf pride grips would last about a half a year for me.
