Golf Pride Grips

The Tour Velvet and MCC Plus4 are the two most popular. Tour Velvet is the classic all-rubber grip for an all-around feel. MCC Plus4 adds cord in the upper hand and a built-up lower hand, so it's the pick when you want more traction in heat or humidity.

Tour Velvet is all rubber with a medium-firm feel, and it works for most players in most weather. MCC (multi-compound) puts brushed cotton cord in the upper hand and rubber in the lower hand, so it holds on better when it's wet, hot or humid. If your hands sweat or you play a lot of damp rounds, go with the MCC.

Plus4 grips have less taper, so the lower hand feels like it has four extra wraps of tape under it. A fuller lower hand makes it easier to hold the club lightly with your trail hand. You'll find it on the MCC Plus4, Tour Velvet Plus4 and CPx.

Our grip size guide finds your size from two quick hand measurements. Most adult golfers fit a standard grip. Not every model comes in every size: Tour Velvet, MCC Plus4, CP2, CPx and Tour Wrap 2G come in undersize, standard, midsize and jumbo, and Tour Velvet also comes in a junior size.

Pick a grip with cord. MCC and MCC Plus4 put cord in the upper hand, the Tour Velvet BCT Cord adds cord to the Tour Velvet, and the Z-Cord runs cord through the whole grip for the most bite. All-rubber grips get slick faster once your glove is damp.

The CPx is the softest swing grip Golf Pride makes, and it has a Plus4 lower hand. The CP2 Pro and CP2 Wrap are soft rubber over a firmer core, and the Tour Wrap 2G is soft and tacky with a wrap texture. Golfers with arthritis or sore hands often go up a size too.

For most golfers, yes. The lineup covers nearly every feel and size, from the soft CPx to the firm Z-Cord, so you can match the grip to your hands instead of settling. If you're doing the whole bag, the 8, 10 and 13-packs keep every club matched, and the 13-grip kits add the tape, solvent and clamp to install them.

Plan on a new set about once a season, or every 40 rounds if you play a lot. If your grips feel hard, slick or less tacky than when they were new, it's time, even if they still look fine.

Yes. You need double-sided grip tape, grip solvent and a vise with a rubber shaft clamp. Tape the shaft, coat the tape and the inside of the grip with solvent, slide the grip on while it's wet, line it up, and let it dry before you play. Our Golf Pride grip kits include the tape, solvent and clamp, and our grip installation guide shows each step.

Wipe them down with a damp cloth after each round to clear off dirt and oil. Don't leave your clubs in a hot car, and store them out of direct sunlight. Clean grips stay tacky longer.

No. Golf Pride's own site is golfpride.com. Grips4Less is a separate golf shop that stocks the Golf Pride lineup, from Tour Velvet and MCC Plus4 to CPx and ALIGN Max, as single grips, 8, 10 and 13-packs, and 13-grip kits.
