Excellent writeup my man. The bolded is what I'm curious about. If they are priced too high I don't think they will do well.
They are $10.
With all the twisting, I’m not sure how an Arccos-like sensor in the grip would work. Wondering if a hole in the top cap to add a sensor post-installation is feasible in the future.
Always nice to be pleasantly surprised on price! I too expected more.i'm pretty surprised by this. i expected them to be a lot higher.
Its a lot of turning and twisting but literally no mess and only takes a few minutes. Plus you don't need a vice or anything. It took me a few times to get it right but once you get it, its fairly easy.I really enjoyed this article, thanks @Molten
The concept is super cool. I'll still need a bunch of validation as I believe myself to be a 'glue down for life' kind of guy, but it seems pretty damn sound.
any concerns with over tightening? Or losing tension over time?
I, too, was chosen to test these and that pretty much in a nutshell was my experience. The hardest part was removing the old grip, mostly the old grip tape. Other than that the installation of the grip and even removing it were extremely easy even though I have never changed a grip before. I have had no issues with the grip slipping or moving and I really like the feel of the grip in my hands. I have not used built up grips before but these felt a little built up compared to what my standard grips feel like.As a pre release tester and a absolute newbie at grip changing I was blown away with how easy this was. Hardest part was the old tape removal. Once that was done, new grip installation took about a minute from bare shaft to swinging the club.
Once on, these feel pretty dang solid, more solid than velcro . It's like the grip gets tied to the shaft as you twist.For me it's more like... velcro vs laces.. There's something incredibly comforting in knowing the grip is totally glued.
thanks dude. yeah, if the price is quite a bit higher than a normal grip, i don't think this will gain much traction even though it's a fantastic concept.
a couple things i didn't mention in my write-up but are probably worth pointing out (i think others may have mentioned this), is these grips are not currently compatible with any data capturing system like arccos that requires a sensor to be screwed into the butt end of the club. also, these grips are HEAVY, so swingweighting should be monitored closely for golfers who are sensitive to and/or care about that.

I had hesitations, but it's amazing how tight the grip gets, then how solid it feels when it's on.That is a pretty good explanation. It does get to a point where you can't twist it anymore and you know it is solidly on the shaft and won't move.
Not really, most of the big points of interest for me are coming out. The weight of the grip may be a non-starter for me as I am sensitive to SW as well as the tackiness and comfort of the grip, which can only be discerned by handling them myself. Great job on the reviews so far by everyone chiming in!!Are you looking for any specific feedback that hasn't been covered? I'd be happy to share more thoughts if you do.
No alignment per say. No real markings to worry about.Nice review @Molten! Getting grips done can be a hassle but this looks to be a complete game changer. When you guys are twisting the grip to where it will not move is it completely aligned when you are done?
66 grams? Wouldn't that drop your swing weight by 3 or 4?
