I was lucky enough to win a set of the Crossline Ace 3Gen's and having played 3 rounds with them in different conditions, if I could only use one word to describe them, that word would be "tacky" - and in a good way!
Looks: The dark grey is different without being flashy or garish, and the red cap is a nice touch too. 9 out of 10, and the only reason they don't get more is because the red marks up easily from rubbing at the bottom of the golf bag.
Performance: In the dry, these things are awesome. Lovely and soft, and wonderfully tacky but without ruining the glove. I have every confidence that there will be no unwanted movement with them. Softer than the standard Crossline, which I have on my wedges; the new grips are better. However, in the wet, they aren't as good as the old standard golf prides or the original Crosslines, which is a shame. They lose a bit of their grip, and I lost control of the driver on two occasions. 8 out of 10.
Durability: Can't really comment on this, as they're new. However, the red cap is going to be something I think will wear quickly and noticeably. To be reviewed in a month.
Value: A quick google search suggests an average price of around £4.85 (remember I got them for free), which I think is good value for this grip. 8 out of 10.
Overall: Initial view of these grips is that they're keepers, despite the issues in the wet (although I wasn't using a rain glove for the "slip holes"; maybe I need to invest in MacWets). Nicer feel than both standard Golf Prides, and original Crosslines. If I'd paid out for them, I'd be happy.
