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.

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

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.

For those that play Golf Pride cord grips, do you prefer Tour Velvet Cord or Z Grip? Why? Thanks!

I prefer the TV Cord, they’re what I moved to this seasons in fact because it’s the cord feeling I love, but also some of that TV feel that’s made them iconic. I’ve played the Z’s for seasons before and enjoy them, but they’re just rough on rough (which I enjoy)

Zcord is firmer and rougher. Until recently zcord was the only Golf Pride full cord grip you could get in midsize. If you play in a cool environment you may notice the zcord can lose a lot of its rubber feel. Both are good grips.

TV Cords on all my clubs in the bag. Zcord is a great grip but really firm. With TV BCT, just the right amount of both cord and soft/firmness.  

tour velvet cord vs mcc

Agree with the others in that the z cord is firmer and rougher(slightly). I liked the z cords but they seemed to wear out real fast in my experience.  

Sox_Fan

Currently have TV Cords on all of my clubs except 50 - 54 - 58 (have always preferred a multicompound grip on wedges for some reason). Prefer them to the Z-Grips because, for me, they seem to offer a little more feel. Don't mind the Z-Grip on driver but definitely prefer the TV Cord on irons. Just overall a little more comfortable of a grip to me.

I just regripped my clubs with Tour Velvet Cords. Love the cords and the feel of the grip. Z-grips are very firm.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN Grip Review

More in reviews:.

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 cord vs mcc

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 cord vs mcc

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 cord vs mcc

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 cord vs mcc

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

' src=

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.

' src=

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.

' src=

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.

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 cord vs mcc

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.

I’ve played MCC grips on my irons for as long as I can remember, but curious to hear feedback from others compared to the other golf pride cord grips.   

My initial impression of Z Grip Cord is very firm, feels thinner, highest level of feedback.   

Tour Velvet Cord definitely feels softer and more velvety. MCC somewhere in between

  1. GP Cord Users: Tour Velvet Cord, MCC or Z-Grip?

    Posted April 30, 2020. Tour Velvet Cord (BCT), and it's not that close. The .60 core weighs 50.5 grams and NDMC .60 core weighs 46-46.5, most people wouldn't think 4 grams makes a big difference but it does for me. Life span tour velvet cords should last much longer than NDMC's.

  2. Golf Pride MCC v. Tour Velvet Cord or Z-Grip? : r/golf

    You really can't go wrong with them. I think the MCC is a little less aggressive than the Tour Velvet and is pretty popular for woods, especially since the Align grip came out. The Z-cord is probably the most aggressive grip out of the three since it's designed to provide maximum traction when wet.

  3. Comparison to Tour Velvet Cord (MCC? Z-Cord?)...Thoughts?

    Posted March 19, 2018. Tour Velvet full cord is hard to beat. The NDMCs have too much taper, they're too light, and they wear too fast for me and the Z Cord is very hard and harsh when it's cold. I've found the Lamkin UTx and Players' Cord wear very quickly so they way I look at it is if it isn't broken don't fix it.
