Black Widow Grips

[Deleted member 1740]

Has anybody got these grips on their kit and what are they like especially wet/damp?

I've got golfpride multi compounds on my irons but i want to change my driver and 3 wood grips as they're standard titleist ones that don't really feel right.

Any advice useful or not is welcome!

Don't know these grips, however, if you want a change I've always liked the Mizuno M21 grips, great in all weathers and last ages

Our pro is stocking them now. They do a dual coloured multi compound similar to Golf Pride but I'm not a fan of all the spider markings. I want a simple unfussy grip that performs in the wet and dry rather than something that is more of a fashion statement than functional

Here is the Golf Pride 2012 offerings http://golfpride.com/Grips/Default.aspx?cat=new

i had one fitted to my ping g10 earlier on in the season last year and one currently fitted to my 2 iron and i personally don't liek them that much.

the reason i had them fitted was because that was all that was available from the pro at the time.they are similar to golf pride with the dual compound but they look too busy with all the markings etc.

I want one for my driver and wedges...mainly because they look tarty lol

Shop about online, golf direct were selling them for £3.99 each. There's a company on eBay that sells them at £11 for free or best offer, I offered £8 they came back with £9.

I am struggling to find a fitter though as they all only fit their own grips! Stooooopid

How do they feel when wet or damp. I'm not too bothered about looks just wondered if there's a better grip than the mc's at sensible prices.

Do them yourself mate it's very easy.

Search about on you tube loads of vids on there.

Gamola(?) are the best online stockists I know for range and price. Dead simple to do although 7/10 times I'm, just plain lazy to do it myself these days

 

[DappaDonDave]

But then if I chuff it up I'm left grip less lol

I've seen a vid online but I'm just not sure,

Grip tape?
Knife?

What else?...

White spirit and a vice or clamp.

Grip, check
Double sided tape, check
Solvent, turps is ideal, check
Tee to plug, check.


Simple as buttering toast.

I'd recommend Lamkin Crossline full cord.

I always use gamola for grips, avent tried the black widow yet but as above may try them on a set of wedges first.

I agree, had my Mizuno irons two years and the grips are still fine. Not keen on the grips on my Titleist driver and wedges though, which seem thin in comparison.

I'm looking to change the grips on my titleist driver and 3wood.

I have the corded Balck Widows and I love them. Really grippy with the X 'tread' and cord. Never had any issues with them.

I have Black Widow Edge on my old AP2's.

I chose them because they were the grippiest in the dry. They feel so much softer and tackier than the Tour Velvet I was used to.

However, I was told they're not so good in the wet. Having said that, I use 2 wet weather gloves if it gets that bad and they were ok. Quite slippery on a bare hand though.

I did them myself for the first time, and it's really not difficult. I found the spider logo helped with making sure the middle of the grip wasn't twisted out of line with the top and bottom markings.

Iomic Sticky 2.3's - they really are the dawgs danglies, but they're not cheap

Iomic are very good grips, bought a wedge once with an Iomic grip already on it and it was very nice.

have them on my driver, f/way & wedges....
will definitely be putting them on my irons when replacements are required
