Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Align MultiCompound Golf Grip

Product Information

That’s the difference in the size of the lower hand. While it doesn’t seem like much, it’s immediately noticeable and, for me, much more comfortable. Golf Pride says that this design also has great benefits: lighter grip pressure, reduced tension, and increased power. It’s also thought that a larger lower hand makes hooking the ball less likely. While I don’t have data to prove any of those claims, there are plenty of tour pros and thousands of skilled amateur players who swear by it, myself included.

The Golf Pride MCC Plus 4 grip takes Golf Pride’s hugely popular Multi Compound grip and increases the size of the lower half to create a taper-free grip. Introduction When it comes to golf grips, while there are a number of quality companies in the category, it’s Golf Pride that is the industry leader. The North Carolina-based company can boast that more than 80 percent of PGA Tour play with its products, in addition to being the preferred grip for more than 65 percent of recreational players. One of the reasons that Golf Pride has been so successful is the number of grips it has to offer to meet the both the feel and performance needs of any golfer. There’s no missing the raised ridge on the Golf Pride MCC Plus4 ALIGN. Before it’s installed, however, the grip feels round and the channel texture inconsequential. This is important to recognize if you’re choosing grips laid out on a table at your fitter or loose in bins at a store. Raised by installation on the shaft, the ridge is best described as a channel with edges, not a rounded hump. The micro diamond pattern of the red strip has an aggressive texture, and the material is noticeably firmer than the rest of the grip. Performance

Have you undergone face-to-face, dynamic custom fitting and understand the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing PING golf clubs without a custom fitting?

The cotton cord and soft rubber material combination is comfortable to grip in all conditions, but it’s in wet weather that its performance benefits come into their own. You’ll definitely find it easier to maintain good grip in the rain. One final point for the swing weight obsessed: the midsize version of the MCC Plus 4 is substantially heavier (66 grams) than the standard (52 grams). Keep in mind there is an MCC Align (either standard or midsize) and MCC Plus 4 Align (reduced taper, either standard or midsized) and in a few months there will be a Tour Velvet Align as well. So if you're buying, be sure to get the particular one you want.

My usual grip installation is “3 + 2”, which means I have three wraps of tape running the full length of the grip, and two additional wraps under my bottom hand. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind doing it, but that’s a LOT of effort when re-gripping a full set of clubs! With the extra four wraps built into the Golf Pride Plus4 models, that saves me a TON of time. There is much less manual tape work and I’m building my clubs much faster.

Performance

I have just fitted these to my entire set. It takes a while but comes out the same as having the pro shop do them at a lower cost. Just don't expect to do 14 clubs in less than an hour. I probably spent 2 and didn't rush. New grips feel very different. loads of grip and the alignment really helps. They feel softer than before, but still getting used to them. Overall feels good so far. These grips also have the benefit of consistency. Golfers are obsessed with the word consistency, and it’s one of the biggest reasons that I’m a convert to the new Golf Pride MCC Plus 4 grip. I’ve played Multi Compound grips for years, and I’ve always built up the lower half. The difficulty and hassle is in doing this precisely: making the half pieces of the tape exactly the same size and placing them perfectly on top of one another. That’s now a thing of the past. With one full-length strip of grip tape, I can have grips that are nearly taper-free and exactly the same from club to club.

Feel is arguably the most important factor when it comes to grips because your hands will be touching the grip throughout the golf swing. Therefore think about what you like your grips to feel like. Do you like the feel of corded grips or perhaps you want a softer feeling model, a more velvet kind of touch on your hands? Or, do you want the best of both of those worlds? Getting your hands on some grips to see how they feel is the best way of deciphering which model to go for and which will be the best model for your hands.You can do that by heading down to your local pro shop, where you'll be able to hold and sample a variety of different club grips. This grip is fantastic. If you're looking for a great way to maintain consistent grip, with a small margin of error, then I definitely recommended this one. The align feature wasn't as pronounced as I'd imagined, which in hindsight is a blessing. It fits the contours of the creases of your fingers, so you just have to find the feel of your normal grip and all you do is replicate that on your next swing and voila, consistent grip application. It's almost an unoticeable ridge, but you will notice once your hands are in the same position.The align technology really does give you a better understanding of where the clubface is through the swing and strike which can definitely help you stay square through the ball, delivering more consistency.

While it is wise to think about replacing your golf club grips as they start to get worn out, you should also think about replacing your clubs too as they get older.
