Grip question: Tour Velvet VS Tour Wrap 2G

Recommended Posts

I've used Tour Velvet .58 round with one wrap of tape for 14 years or so but every time the weather gets dry and cold I bet splits in my fingers that are very painful.

Recently hit a set of irons with the new Tour Wrap 2gs and loved them so I switched all my clubs to these hoping to avoid the finger splits. (we'll see....they do feel very tacky and soft though)

Question I have is that the Tour Wraps feel a bit thicker than the Tour Wraps (.58 with one wrap of tape) but more so in the driver and 3 wood to the point that I think it's quite noticeable. Does anyone know if the Tour Wraps run a but thicker than the Tour Velvets? Would I be better of trying a .600 in the woods or perhaps doing the .58 without the wrap of tape?

Don't know about this newest version of the Tour Wrap but back in the 90's I used the Tour Wrap Full Cord and they definitely played larger than something like a Tour Velvet. Don't know if the wrap pattern just fools my hands or not but when I switched from Tour Wrap with .580 core to Tour Velvet with .580 core I had to add a wrap of extra tape to make them the same to me.

I tried the Tour Wrap 2Gs and they were ok when it was cool and dry. But as soon as it rains, becomes humid/hot or i get even slightly damp hands i was almost throwing my clubs down the driving range. These grips lose 100% of their traction as soon as moisture hits, terrible performance for me. They are now long gone, replaced with lamkin tour full cords which whilst not looking quite as nice perform 1000x better in all weather conditions. I would never advise anyone to get these grips unless you can guarantee they are completely dry at ALL times.

Tour Wraps definitely play a bit thicker than the Tour Velvets. They have more rubber because of the wrap pattern - the Tour Velvets are essentially the same thickness as the depressions in the Tour Wraps, and the Tour Wraps are thicker across each "wrap." In my experience, the Tour Velvet is one of the thinner grips out there. Although I haven't compared the two head to head, I would imagine that the Tour Wrap in a .600 would get you very close to .580 Tour Velvet thickness.

Best Golf Pride Grips 2024: How to choose the best grip for your game

Published: 26 August 2023 Last updated: 26 August 2023

Best Golf Pride grips

Best Golf Pride grips

Golf Pride is the market leader in golf grips – but what are the best Golf Pride grips for your game?

Choosing the best golf grips can be really confusing, with so many options to choose from. There are soft ones, firm ones, sticky ones, super-sticky ones, fat ones, thin ones… and everything in between.

Market leaders Golf Pride make 21 different grips alone, so they have simplified the process by using a football formation – 4-4-2 – with four choices of what you want from your grips, four different styles of grip, and two options of extra help you may want from your grips. This is how it works… 

Step 1: Choose what you want from your grips

If your middle finger is just touching the pad of your thumb when holding the grip in the glove hand, that is the perfect size. 

Conditions 

If you often play in rain or get sweaty hands when it’s warm, you may need to factor in more moisture management. 

Surface texture

Do you like your grips to feel smooth, rough with pronounced patterns for added traction, or somewhere in the middle? 

A firm grip will offer more feedback and vibration at impact, whereas a softer feel will dampen the club’s vibrations. 

Step 2: Choose your preferred style of grip

Soft and tacky = The CPX 

Offering maximum comfort to reduce grip tension and pressure, leading to a more fluid swing; the CPX is Golf Pride’s softest performance grip. 

Hybrid or half-cord = The MCC

Hybrid technology gives enhanced stability in all weather conditions, thanks to upper hand cord fused with lower hand rubber in multiple colors. 

Full-cord = The ZGRIP 

Golf Pride’s firmest grip, featuring a ‘Z-shaped’ texture pattern and full cotton cord that delivers both traction and all-weather control. 

Velvet and smooth = The Tour Velvet 

Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet offers comfort, playability and control in all conditions. A proprietary rubber compound with a non-slip pattern texture reduces moisture and slippage. 

Step 3: Choose any extra help you may need

Align Technology

A visible raised red ridge on the back of the club helps lock in your hand position at address, enhancing clubface awareness and delivering a square clubface at impact. Available on… ZGRIP, MCC, MCC PLUS4, Tour Velvet.

PLUS4 simulates building up the lower half of the grip with four extra wraps of tape. This reduced taper encourages lighter grip pressure, promoting less tension in the hands and creating more fluidity and power.  Available on… MCC PLUS4, Tour Velvet.

Best Golf Pride Grips

Here are the best Golf Pride grips for your game, going from softest to firmest.

Golf Pride CPX Golf Grip

Golf Pride's softest grip.

What size golf grip should I use?

Golf Pride say there’s little evidence to support the old theory that small grips make shots more likely to go left and big grips make shots go right (for right-handed golfers). They advise using the grip size selector on golfpride.com to get in the right ball park.

Don’t be afraid to try different sizes. Often, those using standard-sized grips end up preferring the feel of a midsize or Plus4 model.

What Golf Grips Do Pros Use?

We take a look at the golf grips that are put into play by the top male players in the world.

What Golf Grips Do Pros Use

The grip is arguably the most important accessory in golf because it is the only part of you that is in contact with the club throughout the golf swing. 

Therefore it stands to reason that if you have bad grips which are poorly fitted or incredibly slippery, then your chances of hitting a good golf shot are significantly less. Additionally if your mind is too busy thinking about making sure your hands don't slip off the golf club, then you aren't focusing enough on the shot you have to play either.

Tour professionals understand this and so they regularly check to ensure they are taking a perfect golf grip with their hands in the correct position. They also regularly get their clubs re-gripped because of how often they practice and use them during competition. They make sure they use models that feel comfortable for their hands and allow them to produce their best golf.

So what models do the top male players in the world use? Below we have taken a look and as you would expect, Golf Pride dominates here.

Also have you ever wondered what golf shoes do pros wear ? Then make sure you read our post on it.

Golf Pride MCC Grip

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

Golf Pride's Multi Compound is one of the best golf grips , and most popular models in golf right now because of the combination of performance and aesthetics.

Performance comes from the split design which blends Brushed Cotton Technology in the top half of the grip, to help with better traction with the glove hand, with rubber in the lower half to add more feel and forgiveness.

Of course the grips come in lots of different colors and as you can see above several top players use a variety of designs. You can also get the grip with the cool MCC Teams designs as well.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Golf Pride Tour Velvet Grip

This all-rubber grip is the No.1 in the game and is arguably the most classic looking.

It combines a rubber-blend compound with a computer-generated non-slip surface that makes it as playable and comfortable as possible.

The plus-sign texture also helps pull moisture away from surface to allow for consistent traction.

In short it keeps things simple and classy.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord Grip

Two-time Major winner Collin Morikawa is one of very few players to opt for the Z-Grip model from Golf Pride.

One of the firmest grips from the brand, it has two layers of texturing for feedback and control, and the midsize has a deep ‘Z’ shaped pattern that winds around the grip while the heavy cord texture channels any moisture away.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord Grip

Used by Major winners Thomas and Koepka , the Tour Velvet Cord is also a top performer from Golf Pride.

It has all of the exceptional traction and all-weather performance that has made the Tour Velvet the winningest cord grip on Tour but now comes in a new white material comprised of tightly woven black cotton fibre.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

JumboMax UltraLight XL Grip

Bryson DeChambeau does things his way and his grips are the same, as he opts for a huge model from JumboMax.

The JumboMax premise is that they have designed grips to fit your hands better to improve your ball striking by eliminating the tension. They use something called Finger-Palm technology so you don’t feel the need to squeeze, and Bryson was actually involved in the latest design. 

In 2019 the US Open champ got rid of 75g from his JumboMax grip and this proved to be a prototype of this, the UltraLite. The substantial taper profile is designed to keep the face square longer through impact and the larger profile means that you will grip it more evenly and feel more of the weight in the clubhead.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

SwitchGrips ER Grip

A less well-known brand compared to others on this list is SwitchGrips, a company that is used by South Africans Oosthuizen and Ernie Els.

The 2010 Open champion uses the ER grip which is made from a proprietary rubber compound that has a non-slip texture on it for comfort and playability.

What is interesting is that SwitchGrips actually have weights in them in the butt of the club and these can range from 4g to 20g, dependent on a players feel and need. We are unsure which weight Oosthuizen has in, but because the butt of his club is black we can assume it is the standard design.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN Grip

Featuring much of the performance of the Tour Velvet model above, the Align design features Align technology and is used by American Harris English.

This takes the form of a dedicated raised ridge which encourages more consistent hand placement and better clubface awareness so the days of shifting your hands around and wondering if you’re too weak or strong will be over.

It also has the most up-to-date rubber blend and non-slip surface pattern to get rid of any unwanted moisture. 

tour velvet vs tour wrap

SuperStroke S-Tech Grip

SuperStroke may be best known for putting grips but three-time Major winner Jordan Spieth also uses club grips from the brand too, the S-Tech’s.

This grip is particularly good in all weather and there is minimal taper here, which helps with being able to have more even hand pressure on the grip and square the club more naturally.

It has a soft, tacky feel, hence its ability to deal with inclement weather, and it’s another that looks great; whether that is if you go for the blue, grey or red. It also comes in black naturally.

What Golf Grips Do Pros Use

Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Grip

Tyrrell Hatton turned many heads when he showed up with purple grips in 2021. The exact model he uses is the MCC Plus4 grip and whilst the purple model is not on sale, there are still several colors for you to choose from.

The design is also worth mentioning here as it differs from most on this list.

The larger outside diameter of the grip simulates the feel of building up the grip with four extra wraps. This reduced taper encourages lighter grip pressure, promoting less tension in the hands and creating more fluidity and power throughout the swing

What Golf Grips Do Pros Use

Golf Pride Tour Wrap Grip

American Daniel Berger opts for the Tour Wrap Grip from Golf Pride which is not commonly seen out on Tour. It features a wrap design that combines the look and feel of leather but has the durability and performance of soft rubber.

Not only that but the wrap design allows your fingers to nestle nicely between each section of the wrap.

Berger may use the black option but with the 2G model you can get it in white, blue and red as well.

What Golf Grips Do Pros Use

Iomic X Grip

Japanese Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama uses Iomic X grips at the moment.

Available in several different colors they feature a more rounded profile to enable the grip to fit into the palms correctly, reducing grip pressure.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet Plus4 Grip Review

Golf pride tour velvet plus4 grips.

Not being satisfied enough by being the #1 Grip on Tour, Golf Pride continues to innovate with their newly released Tour Velvet Plus4 line.  Here, they make the clubmaker and tinkerer’s life easier by creating a ready-made grip that simulates the feel of four wraps of grip tape under the bottom hand .

Following up on the incredible success of the Tour Velvet ALIGN line, Golf Pride gives you the iconic look of their Tour Velvet grip with a modern touch in the Tour Velvet Plus4.   It features the classic black coloring with a grey butt cap and an understated logo.  Feel free to install facing down if you like a clean look and don’t like to advertise (logos up for me – you know it).  While you can’t expect the same tech advancements going into a golf grip like you can an Artificial Intelligence designed driver face, Golf Pride does offer their scientifically proven and familiar grip pattern and materials.  If you want flashy colors, check out the MCC line.  If you want old school cool, the Plus4s have you covered.

Tour Velvet Plus4 Grip 7

How Does it Feel?

The Golf Pride Tour Velvet Plus4 will of course feel familiar, as the original might be the most used grip in the game.  What’s brilliant about these is that they skip the tedious task of using grip tape to change the feel of the grips by building up the bottom hand .  The buildup is done via the grip itself.  Not only can that take a ton of time on every install, but you’re not going to get it 100% perfect.  With these, you will.  Remove variables from your club build – set it and forget it.  The same concept can be found in the ALIGN grips.  Ever try to do a reminder rib by yourself?  It’s a nightmare.  The simplicity is the genius here.  Golf Pride claims the Plus4s allow you to go with a lighter grip pressure, therefore less tension, therefore more power.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet Plus4 10

On-Course Performance

Does the Golf Pride Plus4 technology make your swing better?  Make you a better golfer?  Honestly, that’s kind of a stretch.  However, I’m a big believer in the psychology of this stuff.  It feels awesome in your hand.  It gives you a slight tactile change, barely perceptible, and then you’re free to swing away.  There’s just something about a fresh set of Golf Prides that makes your whole confidence level go through the roof.   This is definitely a “Look good, feel good – feel good, play good – play good, get paid good” kind of deal.  Thanks Deion !

As we Northerners have awoken from our winter hibernation, I’ve had a chance to bag these on the course and in practice a couple times.  It’s all positive from me!  It’s a very small change in feel, and I do buy in to the “tension reduction” part a bit.  That’s always a good aspect of the golf swing technique, but I feel the Plus4s do a great job of reminding you hold it softer and swing smoother.  From there, you can do what Mr. Palmer used to say, “swing your swing.”

Golf Pride Tour Velvet Plus4 3

Final Thoughts

We feel that Golf Pride has released yet another winner with the Tour Velvet Plus4 grips.  I was very curious to try the Plus4s, but not at all convinced I’d like them.  Turns out I do.  I’m rarely one to customize my grips.  Maybe one extra layer.  Adding FOUR , and adding them under my bottom hand seemed way past my comfort level.  My thought was that these would be great for those with bear claws, but not me and my regular-sized human hands.  I was totally wrong.   While these grips they do what Golf Pride says they’re going to do (add some girth), the +4 part comes across more subtle than you’d think.

The Plus4 is something even the most reluctant of tinkerers can adopt quickly and has the potential to improve the player’s comfort level from the top of the bag to the bottom.

Lamkin Crossline vs Tour Velvet Grips: Which is Better?

The importance of a high-quality golf grip cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts your ability to maintain control and execute precise shots.

Lamkin’s Crossline and Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet are two widely acclaimed golf grip options that cater to a lot of golfer preferences.

These two have been long-time contenders such that many golfers see them as similar, so it’s been a battle selecting one. If you are in the same situation, this comparison is for you.

In this article, I’ll analyze these two leading grips, comparing their materials, construction, performance, and suitability for different player types.

Lamkin Crossline vs. Tour Velvet: Which is Better?

Construction.

Lamkin’s Crossline grip is crafted from a proprietary synthetic rubber compound designed for exceptional durability and resistance to wear.

The Crossline grip features a distinct pattern of intersecting lines, which provide excellent traction and torsion control, ensuring a secure connection between the golfer’s hands and the club.

Lamkin Crossline vs Tour Velvet

In comparison, the Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip is constructed from a high-quality rubber blend that strikes an optimal balance between softness and durability.

The Tour Velvet’s surface pattern consists of the combination of densely spaced plus signs and a non-slip, pebbled texture.

This design promotes superior traction and enhances overall grip stability.

Another advantage of the Lamskin Crossline over the Tour Velvets is that they last longer.

I’ve also noticed many players complain about the Tour Velvets not holding up, which is a considerable reduction in their value relative to their costs.

Then, if your budget is not buoyant, the Lamskin Crossline might be cheaper, depending on where you’re buying from.

In terms of firmness, the Lamskin Crossline has a softer feel (though subjective) but has less cord exposure, further enhancing its durability.

The feel of a grip is a critical factor for many golfers, as it can influence their level of comfort and confidence on the course.

The Lamkin Crossline grip is known for its moderate tackiness, providing a secure, non-slip grip without feeling overly sticky.

The Crossline’s distinctive pattern of lines delivers excellent torsion control and dampens vibration, enabling golfers to maintain a firm grasp on the club even in adverse conditions.

The Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip is revered for its consistently smooth and comfortable feel.

The combination of its rubber blend and surface texture provides a mild level of tackiness that does not overpower the golfer’s hands.

Furthermore, the Tour Velvet grip effectively dampens vibration, resulting in a comfortable and controlled experience throughout the swing.

Performance

A grip’s performance in diverse weather conditions is essential for golfers who frequently face changing environments on the course.

The Lamkin Crossline grip’s intersecting lines and high-traction design ensure a reliable grip, even in wet or humid conditions.

This consistent performance across various conditions makes the Crossline an appealing option for golfers who require a dependable grip in unpredictable weather.

Lamkin Crossline vs Tour Velvet

Similarly, the Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip maintains its exceptional performance in a wide range of conditions.

Its surface pattern and rubber blend collaborate to deliver a steady grip regardless of moisture levels.

The Tour Velvet’s steadfast performance in varying conditions has contributed to its widespread popularity among professional and amateur golfers.

Who Is It For?

The Lamkin Crossline and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips cater to different golfer preferences and playing styles.

The Crossline grip is ideal for players who prefer torsion control and a secure grip, particularly in challenging conditions.

Its distinctive pattern and moderate tackiness make it a popular choice among golfers who require a dependable grip that does not sacrifice feel.

Lamkin Crossline vs Tour Velvet

On the other hand, the Tour Velvet grip is an excellent option for golfers seeking a smooth, comfortable grip that performs consistently in varying conditions.

The grip’s mild tackiness and vibration-dampening properties cater to players who appreciate a more subtle grip feel without compromising stability and control.

Conclusion: Which Is Better?

Lamkin Crossline and Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips offer unique advantages that cater to the diverse needs of golfers.

The Crossline grip is well-suited to players who desire enhanced torsion control and a secure grip, particularly in challenging weather conditions.

Its distinctive pattern and moderate tackiness equip golfers with the confidence and stability necessary to execute precise shots.

Conversely, the Tour Velvet grip is ideal for golfers who value a smooth, comfortable feel while maintaining consistent performance across various conditions.

Its mild tackiness and vibration-dampening properties appeal to players who prefer a more subtle grip feel without sacrificing stability and control.

Even with all of the differences, some golfers have found them interchangeable. Just like the Pepsi v Coke debate. Most have their favorites but will go with the available ones. I should say that I’m certainly like that.

Whether opting for the torsion control and secure grip of the Crossline or the smooth, comfortable feel of the Tour Velvet, rest assured that you are selecting a high-quality grip that will contribute to your success on the course.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN Grip Review

More in reviews:.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

50 Words or Less

The Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN combines the most popular grip in golf with technology that will help improve your consistency.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Introduction

Last year, Golf Pride introduced ALIGN technology in their Multi Compound and MCC Plus Four grips.  At this year’s PGA Show, they announced that ALIGN was coming to the Tour Velvet.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

The Tour Velvet isn’t a flashy grip – all black with white branding.  The ALIGN version does add a little more spice with a red band around the “Golf Pride” logo and a red cap.  Of course, what makes it stand out most is the bright red ALIGN stripe along the back of the grip .

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Tour Velvet is the standard in golf because it’s right in the middle in terms of feel .  It’s not squishy soft, but it’s not firm either.  It has good traction without feeling like sandpaper.

What makes the ALIGN version unique is the raised ridge on the back of the grip .  Before it’s installed, you can feel the texture difference in the red channel, but you won’t feel is “stand up.”  When it’s installed, however, you will feel that the ridge sticks out substantially from the grip (see below) and has a firmer texture.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Performance

The Tour Velvet is popular on Tour and with amateurs for a reason: it’s a solid grip in all conditions .  There are grips that are tackier, there are grips with more traction, there are softer grips, but the Tour Velvet delivers for a huge majority of golfers, rain or shine.

The purpose of ALIGN is to give golfers more consistency with their hand placement .  The channel should help the grip fall into the same place in the golfer’s hands on every swing.  We’ve all seen the guy who’s constantly fiddling with his hands on the grip.  ALIGN is meant to end that.

I’ll admit to being skeptical of ALIGN, at least for my own use.  I’ve never used a ribbed or reminder grip, and I wasn’t sure I would like it.  I was surprised to find myself instantly comfortable with the ALIGN even on my driver.  The grip worked exactly as designed, helping me notch the grip into the same spot on my fingers every time.  After a few swings, I felt noticeably more confident once I had locked in on the ALIGN channel.

There are two potential drawbacks that are worth noting.  First, these grips need to be installed perfectly .  If you get the ALIGN channel out of place, you’ll be setting up with a consistently askew club face.  This shouldn’t stop you from trying ALIGN, just make sure you have a trusted club builder install them.

The other potential problem is for players who like to set up with the club face in different positions .  I would expect to see this primarily with the wedges, where players may like to hit shots with an open face.  For these players, ALIGN may be a good choice for their full swing clubs but not the wedges.

No word in golf is as prized as “consistency” and that’s exactly with the Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN grips deliver.  The raised channel on the back of the grip will help you lock in the same hand position on every swing, which eliminates one variable from the golf swing.  Especially if you get fidgety with your hands before your swing, ALIGN grips are worth checking out.

Hi Matt – this does sound like an invitation for blisters or exaggerated callouses. Any thoughts on that possibility?

Thanks, Mike

There’s no reason it should cause problems anymore than a standard grip outside of the additional texture, which is quite mild. If anything, it could lock the grip into place more effectively resulting in less rubbing.

Matt, How do these grips work with adjustable drivers, fairways and hybrids? I suppose the same question could be posed for “Pured” shafts in adjustable clubs. If the theory is that only one orientation is proper, what happens when that alignment is changed? Thanks, Dave

Once you establish the shaft position/hosel adjustment that you want, there’s no issue with these grips. For the player that is tweaking the hosel setting during every range session, the ALIGN isn’t going to work.

I adjust my SiM rocket 3 wood depending on weather or course conditions. I took a bit to get use to having the align on the side of the club/grip. In the long run when say I set the 3 wood to about 12 degrees. Using it off the tee for courses that are shorter tight and tree lined. Then I know where the line fits in my grip. It is the same just a feeling to get use to. Still aids with a consistent set up. Feels odd at first. My concern is with the wedges. I have always used New decade multi compound on my wedges. I went to blades. I wanted a bit softer, less grip pressure transferred in to the shaft, so I got TaylorMade stock grip years ago.. Just bought P76O irons, put tour Velvet aligns on. I am a locksmith with wedge play, short game. Wondering if the align will help like with the adjustable. Or will it hinder me feel and confidence? Wedge set up, open, shut, chipping using the grooves to control spin, direction, I even use a side spin chip to avoid dicey down slopes directing the ball with spin and path. Also the lead edge, and sole lie is all in regard to the ground and lie of the ball to club selection, shot type , impact spot on the ball in correlation of the lie. I am starting to think it might have me feeling uncomfortable, thinking about the line on the grip instead of the club face loft, angle and amount of space for the lead edge. Should I stick with my NDMC or get the regular tour Velvets(no align) for consistency through the bag ? Or go in a more neutral direction of Vokey patriot Z grip?(3 old groove Vokey Raw/ 1 SM8 raw) I am confused as what to do. I often wear no glove with wedge play as well. Play golf everyday, suffer mild pains in my pinkey finger every morning.

I play the same grip from driver through lob wedge, I like the consistency, but I can’t tell you what you will like or play well with. I would suggest trying the Align in your wedges and seeing what happens.

Tour Velvet 360 vs Tour Velvet; Best Comparison Ever. 

Tour Velvet 360 vs Tour Velvet

What are the major differences between Tour velvet and Tour Velvet 360? Not the same grip, they are not. They feel and have a different texture. Personally, I feel that the pattern is sharper and more aggressive with the 360 grips if that makes sense. The 360 feels like it has more texture, while the standard Tour Velvet feels like it has more tack.

In this article, you gonna see the major, and minor differences between the Tour velvet 360, and the Tour velvet grips, helping you to select the best matching club to play better golf.

Tour Velvet 360 vs Tour Velvet; Best Comparison Ever. 

The Tour Velvet® 360, which is made for adjustable drivers, fairway woods, and hybrid clubs, is now offered in a new, exclusive white finish that draws attention to the plus signs that have been patented and are preferred by the Tour. 

It has a 360-degree design and has the well-liked appearance and texture of the Tour Velvet non-slip surface pattern. 

Double-dash rings are present on both ends of this grip, allowing for a uniform appearance regardless of shaft orientation or adjustments.

  • The #1 Grip Model was used on all international tours.
  • Specifically made for adjustable clubs, allowing for a consistent appearance regardless of shaft orientation.
  • Modern rubber blend for the best playability and comfort under all playing circumstances.
  • A non-slip surface pattern that was scientifically designed draws moisture away from the surface.
  • The Golf Pride brand
  • Features a 360-degree design with the look and feel of the Tour Velvet and a non-slip surface pattern.

How To Regrip A Golf Club | Golf Pride

Are Tour Velvet grips good?

The Tour Velvet is well-liked by both professionals and amateurs because it provides a reliable grip in any circumstance. 

There are grips that are tackier, grips with more traction, and grips that are softer, but the Tour Velvet performs admirably for the vast majority of golfers, regardless of the weather.

How long do Tour Velvet grips last?

here are grips that are tackier, grips with more traction, and grips that are softer, but the Tour Velvet performs admirably for the vast majority of golfers, regardless of the weather.

Tour Velvet Grip Specs.

In order to maximize playability, comfort, and confidence, the most popular grip in golf today combines an exclusive, cutting-edge rubber-blend compound with a non-slip surface pattern. Many club manufacturers base their grip designs on the Tour Velvet® standard.

  • The Golf Pride Tour Velvet is the most popular grip on the PGA Tour.
  • Core diameters of.580″ and.600″.
  • Installed size: youth, undersize, standard, or oversize; round or ribbed.
  • A non-slip surface pattern that was computer-designed has a soft, non-abrasive feel.
  • Enhances comfort and is perfect for all gripping circumstances.
  • Rubber grip, medium firm.
  • Non-slip surface design for the plus (+).
  • Moderate control of moisture.
  • Medium-textured surface.

What is my personal experience with Tour Velvet Grip?

Long-established standard grip with a traditional design. The balance between feel and comfort is good. Neither too firm nor too soft will cause you to lose feeling when making contact. In a variety of weather conditions, they offer good traction. 

The tapered profile appeals to me as well. Durability is the only issue I’ve read other people have with it. With time, they might start to become a little slick. 

I’ve discovered that if I take the time to wipe them down after several rounds and occasionally even use a club cleaning brush, I can easily get over 100 rounds out of them. I experiment with other grips, but I always return to tour velvets.

Why do so many pros use Tour Velvet grips?

Over 90% of TOUR players strengthen their grip to encourage a lighter grip pressure and produce more power. The larger lower-hand profile created by the Tour Velvet Plus4 grips, which are preferred by TOUR players, simulates the feeling of four additional layers of tape buildup.

Another thing to think about is that, unlike most everyday people, professionals are required to play in all weather conditions. Professionals need a grip that can withstand wet conditions because many grips that feel great dry become extremely slippery when wet. A good illustration is the tour wrap. I agree with the idea that many professionals grew up playing tour velvet.

What size grip do most tour players use?

The majority of professionals use standard grips, and hand sizes are easily determined. From the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger, the average hand size is between 7 and 8,75 inches. The process of increasing grip thickness from a standard size to a mid-size or over-size is straightforward.

Tour Velvet 360 vs Tour Velvet; Which one is better?

  • The size options are the primary distinction between the Tour Velvet and Tour Velvet 360. Both provide the options of standard and midsize. However, the Tour Velvet also offers jumbo, undersize, and junior sizes.
  • The options for weight are another distinction between the Tour Velvet and Tour Velvet 360. The Tour Velvet offers a wider range of weights than the Tour Velvet 360 and incorporates all of those ranges.
  • The core options are yet another distinction between the Tour Velvet and Tour Velvet 360. The 60 round is the only option available for the Tour Velvet 360. The Tour Velvet is 56–60 ribbed and 60–62 round.
  • It is crucial to know whether or not the golf shafts you are considering are legal because they become unlawful if they violate one of the USGA’s rules. 

In my personal experience, I have all three 360 grip versions, and they are essentially the same. The distinction is mostly superficial. Just be mindful that different core sizes exist. 

The standard for Titleist is to use a 580 core grip on a 600 shaft, which results in a slightly oversized grip (equivalent of a 600 grip on a 600 shaft with 1 extra wrap).

If you don’t build it up, the Golf Pride TV 360 might appear undersized because it’s only available in 600 core.

In terms of irons, I believe Titleist began using 360 grips only on the 716 series of irons, so if you tried different models and they felt different, it’s possible that the stock shafts’ shaft diameter was a little different, which caused a difference in how they felt. Titleist Tour Velvet (not 360) was used on the irons in the 714 and earlier series.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet vs. Tour Velvet 360: Golf Grip Showdown

Golf pride has introduced various rubber grips that give you a proper, stable grip on the golf club. Their classic tour velvet grips have been pretty popular since the 90’s. But in 2018, golf pride launched a modified version of tour velvet, naming it tour velvet 360. 

The main difference between two models are their unique designs. Tour velvet has non-slipping ‘+’ patterned surface while tour velvet 360 features a full cord 360 design pattern. Tour velvet 360 has better traction, water resistance. But tour velvet has different sizes to choose from. 

So, tour velvet vs tour velvet 360, which one is better?Join us further in the journey to have a good idea about both grip designs and choose which one suits you better.

tour velvet vs tour wrap

Overview of Tour Velvet Shaft 

Since the 1990s, when Golf Pride first introduced tour velvet grip, it has been one of the most liked golf grips by golfers.

They are made from an exclusive rubber-blend compound, making them soft and comfortable to hold. Rubber adds incredible traction and makes sure you have a firm grip.

tour velvet

Tour velvet has a pretty simple design. The lower part of the grip has a slightly larger diameter.

It reduces unnecessary tension between the hand and the shaft and makes the grip comfortable. Many manufacturers use this classic design as a base to create their grip designs. 

Despite having a soft and smooth surface, tour velvet grips are non-slipping due to their digitally designed plus ‘+’ sign pattern. It adds a little tacky texture to the grip surface, so it doesn’t slip, even with sweaty hands.

Overview Of Tour Velvet 360 Shaft 

Even though the classic tour velvet series were a hit, Golf Pride kept modifying it to make it even better. In 2018, they brought a modified version to the market, tour velvet 360.

This new grip features almost all characteristics of its predecessor, classic tour velvet. It is still soft, comfortable, and easy to handle.

Velvet 360

But now, it also has a 360-pattern full-cord design, which provides equal traction in all areas. The grip is designed to ensure a firm and secure hand placement in every club orientation.

The modified design has a raised guideline extending from the back of the grip to the front, near the logo. It helps the golfers to have a better idea of their hand placement. 

Tour Velvet Vs Tour Velvet 360 Shaft: Quick Comparison Table  

As tour velvet 360 is a successor version of tour velvet, they both have a lot of similar features. However, there are still some differences. Here’s a quick comparison table that will help you determine which suits your interest the best. 

What Are The Differences Between Tour Velvet And Tour Velvet 360 Shaft? 

If you are unfamiliar with golf shaft grips, at first glance, tour velvet and tour velvet 360 may look the same. But once you look closer, there are a couple of dissimilarities. Let’s take a detailed look at it, shall we?

Grip Design

Tour velvet

Tour velvet golf shafts have a simple yet scientific design. Its embedded ‘+’ plus sign pattern ensures a superior grip on the shaft.

And the lower part of the shaft is slightly wider, which reduces the slipping of the grip. On the other hand, tour velvet 360 comes with a full cord 360 design.

It still has the ‘+’ pattern but around the whole shaft, providing an extra secure grip. It also features a guiding ridge to help the newbies have proper hand position. 

Size And Color

One of the main reasons for tour velvet to become popular among golfers is that it is available in multiple sizes and colors.

Standard, Midsize, Undersize, Jumbo, and Junior- you can choose from these five options according to your preference.

As tour velvet is a recent model, till now, it is only available in standard size. There are also no color variations, black being the only option to get. 

Tour velvet grips are available in two versions, round and ribbed. For the round shafts, you can get 60 to 62 core sizes. But if you prefer ribbed ones, 56 to 60, a wide range of cores are available. 

However, there is only one core size, 60 rounds, for the tour velvet 360 golf club grip. Though it is a standard size, if you are uncomfortable with it, you should choose one of the velvet tours instead.

Traction 

Sweaty hands and wet and humid weather are one of the biggest hindrances for golf. Golfers lose their grip on the club shaft, miss the aim, and ultimately the outcome isn’t really pleasing.

That’s why a grip with good traction is a must. Both tour velvet and tour velvet 360 have fantastic traction, thanks to their non-slipping design.

The digitally embedded plus ‘+’ design in the grip keeps the grip firm and secure. In tour velvet 360, this pattern is distributed all over the shaft. And that’s why it provides more security in your grip. 

Vibration Dampening 

When a golfer hits the ball with his club, he feels the shock and vibration from the hit traveling through his golf stick.

Blended rubber grips like tour velvet and tour velvet 360 lessen the effect to a great extent. 

Tour velvet 360 does a better job in this case due to its 360 full cord design. However, it can feel a little harsher in hand.

So, if you have a sensitive hand, it is better to go for a smooth, surfaced classic tour velvet.

Texture And Comfort

Texture And Comfort

Tour velvet grips don’t feature many ridges, so they have a smooth surface. As a result, they are easy and comfortable to hold. 

But tour velvet 360 features guide rides, a logo on the front, full cord pattern, which makes their surface a little tacky.

However, they are not uncomfortable at all. In fact, their tacky texture allows the players to have a more firm grip on the shaft. 

Weight 

The weight of tour velvet grips varies depending on their size and model. Most of them are between 45 to 61 grams, with some exceptions.

On the other hand, tour velvet 360 grips don’t have wide varieties, and their weight is usually 50-57 grams. 

The difference isn’t much, and you may barely feel the change. But yes, for study, tour velvet 360 is considered a slightly heavy option for golf grips. 

Price 

Prices of both tour velvet and tour velvet 360 vary depending on the vendor. They are both mid-ranged rubber grips and are affordable. 

Tour Velvet or Tour Velvet 360: Which Golf Shaft To Choose?

Tour velvet and tour velvet 360 are amazing golf club grips choices. They provide a strong and rigid hold on the club shaft. So, which one should you choose?

Well, it depends on you. If you want a firmer grip with ultimate water resistance, tour velvet 360 would be a good choice.

However, you have to remember that their 360 full cord design can be abrasive for people with sensitive hands. 

Do you prefer larger grips? Or do you like to have a smaller one instead? Classic tour velvet comes with a wide range of grips to choose from.

But for tour velvet 360, there is only one option to choose from, the standard-size grip. However, it is highly durable and lasts for longer. 

So, judge all the factors before deciding on which model fits your requirement the best and choose that. 

Here are some common questions regarding your velvet or tour velvet 360 grips. Let’s find the answer, too, shall we?

How Frequently Should You Change The Golf Grips?

Golf pride suggests changing their golf grips at least once a year. But it depends on how frequently you use them. 

Why Do Pro Players Use Tour Velvet?

Pro golfers use tour velvet to build up a firm grip without using much pressure. This helps them to have better control of the ball. 

Do Tour Velvet Or Tour Velvet 360 Have Better Water Resistance?

Tour velvet 360 provides more water resistance properties due to its overall 360 cord design pattern. 

Do You Have To Tape Golf Grips?

Having a layer of grip tape on top of the grips keeps them in place and gives you a better hold on them.
