Moisture control for summer golf: grips and general strategies
Posted on 8/9/15 at 6:33 pm
Posted on 8/9/15 at 6:33 pm
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.

Baby powder?

Jesus. I may switch gloves once in a round and it's like 15 holes in.

You're a golfer. I'm a sweater. 
One glove to warm up in. And switch about every 5 holes. I could probably switch back and forth, but I found a lightening deal on Amazon for a 3 pack of Calloway gloves for $15

The biggest issue comes from the non-glove hand, though.
Would the corded golf pride grips add substantial traction? I looked at the Wynn dri-tech in the store. They felt nice, but it's impossible to tell from the store.

You can buy it on Amazon.

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.

I play with the Titleist Permasoft...
Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips. Used to play with GP cords but I'm a fan of the velvets unless it's raining.
My wedges have more tack to them, though since I'll sometimes hit a shot without gloves.

Cord grips and I carry a big towel.
Washing the grips with a stiff bristled brush, dawn soap, and drying them very well increases tackiness a ton. I usually do that a couple times a summer.

If you know you'll need to switch, why not change at the turn.

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

Nice, this is what I needed. Didn't even consider the cool towel, since I assumed the dampness was to be avoided.

Because the glove isn't sweaty yet or bothering me? I literally have it on for about 30 seconds. It's the last thing I do before I take my one practice swing and the first thing I take off when I'm done with the shot.
I also played bare handed with double corded grips until I was like 17.
