I need to replace the grips on my irons. Haven't really kept up with the latest and greatest. Anyone have any suggestions?

i love the standard (tan) win grips. they have a tackie feeling to them and with small hands it helps in the summer.

I have them too.  They are called Winn Classics.  With the tacky feel you don't have to use as much grip pressure...

Thanks, I'll make sure to look for these grips.

You can order on-line at    www.golfsmith.com    I think they are about $3.85 each.

I just got the new Winn G8 grips put on all my clubs (except 2-4 irons, which I don't use). I have the all black grips that are mid sized for my hands and for the first time ever, I can play without a glove on because of how soft and comfortable they are. the Tour grips (rubber) tear my hands up, especially when it is really hot or rainy. I had them put on at Golf HQ in Rogers, but it was $90 for 12 clubs.

I use to use winn grips and loved them until i was playing in a tournament one day in drizzling rain and they are so slick and almost impossible to dry. I recommend the golf pride tour grip it has been my favorite. I also like a cored grip but only if you play enough to have tough hands b/c if not they will eat your hands up!

That is why my father and i started doing that ourselves.  We have started doing shafts and complete club making also.  If anyone is interested pm me and i will see how much i can save you the next time it is needed.

Thanks again for replies. After doing some more research, I've narrowed it down to the Winn Classic and Golf Pride Tour Velvet full cord. Winn grip is quite a bit cheaper, but I'm used to cord grips. I may do one of each on 2 of my irons to test them for a couple rounds. cadensdad, I'd give you some business, but this is a skill that I want to learn, so I'm going to attempt to do this myself. After I screw it up, I may get in touch with you to do it right.  ;)
