jacksonlui Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) I've recently moved away from my GP Multicompound Red grips which I found to be excellent grips to these Iomic X-Evolutions. Thanks to Forte, I bought an X-UT from him and it came with an X-Evolution. These are advertised as for people with larger hands but I've found that to be a little exaggerated. I think they are just a tad larger than tour velvets, perhaps the same as a M58 (Lamkin). I am between a small and medium in glove size, they suit me just fine. For someone that draws the ball a little too much, this is a nice compliment. These are pricey ($15-$20) but are more durable than the MC reds so they even out in the long run. I don't believe in any of the negative ion hype, but these feel really nice in my hands and is very easy to clean. They install in a snap with some mineral spirit which also doubles as a cleaner. I got these in white (all they had at the time) and like how it looks. These are about 50g which is the similar to the tour velvet and about 2g heavier than the MC reds. It makes your club stand out, I mean stand out A LOT. You better not mess up on that tee, because these player screams player with style. You can always go with a darker color, the white is hard to keep clean. More on the size because I'm a stickler for measurements. I'm a righty. For the left hand, the diameter is similar to the MC reds, but for the right hand, it's less tapered so it's slightly larger, not that much to mess you up, but you can feel it. The pattern on the grip is a diamond pattern and has tiny bumps. I'd suggest you try one to see how they work for you. I've learned you can't fit yourself by a chart and some standards. Standards have gotten me close to perfect and you tweak from that point on to see what works for you. Grips are one of those things. The other thing I'd like to mention is that they go on very easy (install) and you can't stretch these. Many like to stretch their grips so it's a little thinner, these are pretty resilient, they snap back. Here are some pics, Enjoy.

ClubHoUno Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I love the white iomics with red cap.... those are my favs! But not for a guy like me with OCD tendencies - it gets dirty very fast. How do they play compared to the GP New Decade Multi Compound grips - I don't like grips that are too soft, I need some cord like grips without them feeling too harsh and I haven't found anything better than the Golf Pride Multicompound grips - they are now available in orange, light blue, yelow, green, dark blue and red and I use all the color variations, depending on the color shaft and graphics I have on the clubs. Mizuno irons will of course have the dark blue, Taylor Made R7 Tp irons the orange, Taylor Made R7 driver and woods the yellow, Titleist woods the red, Sonartec woods the light blue, Scratch wedges the green, Vokey wedges the red and so on..... I like to match my golf gear up with some color variation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
