Review: NO1 50 Pro Grip

For the most part grips shouldn’t have a huge impact on scoring, the NO1 50 Pro grip is one of my favorite grips I’ve ever held.  I installed some on  my driver and on my Miura MC-501 irons.   They instantly became my favorite grips that I’ve had on any of my clubs.  The soft, yet direct feeling of connection with the club is very appealing.  I also liked that they didn’t tear up my hands.  I could easily play these grips without a glove.  They offer good tack in both dry and wet weather.  In dry conditions it has a slight “gooie” tack which is a nice feel and feature.  If the weather turns damp, the tack remains so that there is no slippage during the swing.

With all great things there is often a downside.  The only downside of these grips is their price tag.  At $16 per grip it gets a little pricey to grip every club in your bag.  But the upside of these expensive grips is that they seem really durable over the long run.  Elastomer style grips that I have tried have had a history of wearing down quickly, but after multiple rounds with these grips, they seem just like new.  Also this compound cleans up nicely with just a little water.
