John, You should add pictures of the grips and glove to the web site. I know someone who wants to try them, but wants to see what they look like.Also, if the glove is currently non-conforming, you should state that fact and its resubmission status. Thx, /Ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:A fellow named Chris on the GEA forum bought a Forecaster Glove and some of my new Greptile golf grips, tried them out this weekend, and was kind enough to write a nice review. Info on the grips/glove at http://www.gripscience.com Title: Greptile Grips: Finally a Review Grips somewhat fascinate me. After all, it is your only connection to the club. I also would not that I'm not opposed to trying new grip styles/materials. I've been playing primarily Winn grips (different models) or the better part of the past 4-5 years and have been very happy with them except in very wet conditions... Out of the grips I received, they all weighed between 48-50 grams and have a traditional "wrap" style to them and have a traditional taper. From a distance they look similar to a Golf Pride Tour Velvet wrap grip. But that's where the similarities to "traditional" stop. The feel of these grips is like nothing else that I've tried on the market. Now for the hardcore traditionalist, you may not like how these feel. Personally, I thought they felt "funky-cool". The "greptiles" are these tiny little "fingers" that stick up from the grip. I would guess they are probably 1/2 mm in height and cover the entire surface of the grip except of where it is bare to define the spiral "wrap". Now when you put your hands on these you get this odd sensation (what I call funky-cool) of these little gripper forming around every little nook and cranny of your hand. It really forms a strong bond. Yet, unlike the Softie or Winn grips, the "underlisting" of the grip is very firm. So your get this little grabbing sensation followed by the firmness of a traditional grip. It almost feels like a cord grip but is not nearly as taxing on the hands as a cord grip. I installed 3 grips on my clubs and headed out for 9 holes on Saturday. Its miserable here. 45*, wet/drizzly and the courses are pretty much soaked. I hit balls for about 45 minutes before playing, using these 3 clubs exclusively while I warmed up. I will say this, these perform as advertised. Wet traction was excellent and even better once I put a glove on. Slippage was minimal even when I tried a few "gorilla" swings. I even went as far as to leave the 6 iron uncovered during some steady rain to rally get the grip wet. When you take a towel to it, water comes off the grip almost as if you had a squeegee in hand. The water just runs right off the grip, leaving a dry tacky surface. Overall, I was very impressed. Is it for the masses? Probably not as some of you may not be fond of the different feel it gives. However, if you play in wet or sticky conditions frequently or if your hands sweat a lot, this may be the best non-cord option out there. John gets a thumbs up for introducing a new product that I think is well worthwhile trying. -- Thanks! John Muir http://clubmaker-online.com http://gripscience.com 810.220.4918
