Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Align MultiCompound Golf Grip

Product Information

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. The Golf Pride MCC Plus 4 grip is indistinguishable from the classic New Decade Multi Compound, with the exception of the white outline around the Golf Pride logo. The standard sized MCC Plus 4 is available in grey, red, and blue. At least for this year, the midsize grip is available only in grey. With a raised channel along the bottom of a tour-proven grip, the Golf Pride MCC Plus4 ALIGN gives players a reference ridge to aid repeatable, consistent hand position. Introduction 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.

Very good grip sits very good in the hands comfortable too, not so much of a ridge as a thought which was good. recommendation for players all levels 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). 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.Useful for golfers just starting, it’s also a great confidence booster for established players, taking uncertainty out of the game. Larger lower hand: Tour-inspired reduced taper profile in lower hand promotes lighter grip pressure and increased power Yes, Golf Pride Grips are some of the most commonly used grips on the professional tours. Interestingly, professionals like Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka and Billy Horschel have used these grips in the past. Can you use Golf Pride grips on your driver?

If you read the in-depth What’s In the Bag articles about PGA Tour pros, you will notice that many of them prefer extra wraps of grip tape under their lower hand. Whether this is simply a preference or a necessary defense against hooking the ball, it’s a trend that you can also see among better amateur players. Golf Prides MCC Plus4 Align grip's Tour-inspired larger lower hand design simulates the feel of 4 extra layers of tape for lighter grip pressure and more power. ALIGN Technology now available in this hybrid grip combines all-weather performance with consistent hand placement.Finally, grips can be expensive so we would recommend being aware of how much you want to spend here. We would always suggest investing a bit more on a grip that is durable and will last a long time rather than going for a cheaper option and having to re-grip the clubs again sooner than you should have to. 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

From the top side, the Golf Pride MCC Plus4 ALIGN looks identical to the MCC Plus4 except for red fill, red end cap, and of course the addition of the ‘ALIGN’ logo. Flip the grip over and the red, raised guide is prominent and distinctive. The Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Align is only available in grey, which really looks sharp in combination with the red. If you are one of those golfers who prefers the ‘GOLF PRIDE’ logo installed facing down, that won’t be an option with the ALIGN. Feel

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. Grips are pretty personal, but the MultiCompound models tend to perform well in all conditions. I don’t do well with moisture so the added bit of cord helps. It creates enough traction to keep the club in my hands. Admittedly, with too much moisture, I prefer a full-cord grip like this one. One issue I encountered was with needing to open the clubface to hit a hard cut around a tree. The ridge fell in an awkward spot on my fingers which compelled me to tweak the grip rotation ever so slightly. Although that occurrence was a negative for me, I could foresee using the ridge to establish alternate hand positions or grip rotations for routine shot shaping.

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 Linking with the above point, be aware of how different some grips are and how they deal with sweat and wet weather. This is because some models, like the Golf Pride MCC for example, cope with water very well because they've been designed to, whereas some other models haven't. Also, it is worth considering how often you play in the rain because if you live in the USA and never play in the rain, there is no need to be concerned with this factor.

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. 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.
