I have gold pride tour velvet grips on my irons, and golf pride tour lightweight 25 on my driver. The slip is minimal on the irons, but still noticeable enough to get in my head in the really hot days. The driver grip is terrible for moisture control. I sweat like a whore in church on the courae, so I need some suggestions for grips that provide that extra tacky feel as they get wetter. Also, what are some things you do before/during the round to combat sweaty hands? Simply wiping my hand before a shot doesn't work all that well. Any products, either specifically made for this or "life hacks" using other household products?

Multiple gloves and towel. Usually use 5 gloves total from warm up to round finished in this weather. I also got new grips back in June.

Cord grips and multiple gloves. Another thing I found that helps is if you wet a towel with cold water and keep it in your hands to keep your hands cool. Don't get the towel soaking wet. You don't want it to leave water on your hands, just keep them cool.

Gorilla Gold

Keep this towel in your pocket and use before each shot. Buy the 3 pack and thank me later.

I play with 2-3 gloves and a towel...biggest problem is sweat in eyes. I rotate the gloves and attach them to post on cart, so the air will flow through them while driving, to air them out. Use regular gold pride multi-color grips.

Rain gloves. Only answer. I just use the one on my normal glove hand. Never have any problems other than smell

Something I've started doing is keeping an ice cooler full of ice. Once my hands are getting slippery, I'll dip my hands in there for few seconds. Its simple but its helped tremendously.
