Anyway on the Iomic grips certainly not for the majority cost is too high. Originally I thought they were just a high dollar grip from Thailand. Nothing special. Now that I have played them for a number of weeks my opinion has changed. Since I have smaller male hands and play men's medium glove if I used a glove the taper and size of the Iomic 2.3 is really nice. Keeps me in contact with the grip with no glove not squishy though they call them sticky they really aren't. In this warmer weather I don't slip and made in Thailand where it's hot and humid most of the year I can see why they are designed with this feature. https://www.iomicusa.com/our-story One other thing I play a dark navy blue color and I've never seen this with another grip....my hand perspiration shows after a number of rounds on the grip salty sweat. I can wash them off after a couple of weeks and this is removed. I like that. So, all in all I have changed my mind of their playing ability. Are they better than a cheaper Star Sidewinder probably no but the material seems to last and during warmer weather with no glove performs very well.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet is what I always end up returning to after ho-ing around.

I have an ionic grip, not a sticky, sort of forget what it is, on a Cally x forged wedge I bought. I really liked the feel and thought about doing all my clubs with them. I liked the fact that they were like Tour Velvet and some cool colors.

BUT...

The price!!! So, like Steve, I stick to Tour Velvet. They came out in Plus 4 now and I’m surprised they have not jumped on the color bandwagon like they have on their multi compound grips.

I use the Tacki Mac Itomic grips on my drivers and they are the stickiest, least slippery when wet and longest lasting I have ever used.
I do not like them anything else though, especially irons. Too sticky and maybe a bit thick too.

I don't really buy the cost thing now with a lot of major brand grips GP, Winn, etc all in that price range of $9+.

    I could get my money's worth out of a $12 grip. But if a person is constantly selling clubs, that could be different.

        Overall taking in price and variety Royal grips sold by Golfworks are hard to beat

        Agreed Don. My own clubs I generally use PURE, Star, Iomic. I tested these Iomic's as I had never used them before and wasn't impressed originally. Now after 2 years and using this set of Alpha RX-1's/KBS Tour's I think they are a great grip especially in summer with midwest higher heat and large amounts of humidity. I see their performance as very good. Especially for me a non-glove golfer.

          Lamkin made a grip in conjunction with Iomic.....iline if I remember correctly. Might be some floating around. A grip that I love that is tacky with a velvet pattern were the crossline ace 3gen......should have bought a case of the OS when they were on sale! Gotta clean em and they stay good and tacky!

            Never cared much about grips . So long as it's the right size I'm good to go .

            ode crossline ace 3gen.

            I've still got those grips on some clubs; they never get slick as long as you keep them clean. I now use the Crossline Black & Karma 360, which is very similar to the Lamkin, but less than 1/2 the price. (Value Golf for both brands)

                Par4QC Crossline anything you can't go wrong. REL ACE 3 gen were pretty good too for tackiness

                  Have these on my Kenny Smith irons in my bag now. Got to be at least 10 years old. They feel so good and tacky I’m afraid to change them
