I'm sure you have seen or heard about them at some point. You might have even read a quote about them in one of the golfing magazines. A club manufacturer will come out and say that they have revolutionized the game of golf with full cord grips. A PGA professional will swear that their life and their play will never be the same because they switched to full cord grips. I've got one thing to say to you: Don't believe the hype.
Cord grips are usually made by weaving strands of cord throughout the basic material of the grip. Quite often, cord is wrapped and embedded in rubber for extra grip and traction. Full cord grips are usually grips that are composed completely of woven and wrapped cord.
While full cord grips are commonly known as "all-weather grips" and are lauded for their ability to wick moisture away from the surface of the grip and a golfer's hands, full cord grips can be detrimental to your game for many reasons. On a purely physical level, full cord grips can cause significant damage to your hands. Full cord grips are so rigid and abrasive that they will tear up your hands, even on the hand that you wear your glove! And even though full cord grips are referred to as "all-weather grips," you still have to take the normal precautions to care for them on the course when it is rainy. You will still have to wipe them down with a towel after every shot, and you will still have to use a golf bag cover or an umbrella to try to keep them as dry as possible. If you are still considering full cord grips because of their supposed ability to keep moisture away, I have to ask you: What's the point? Why bother? The only reason cord grips exist is the lack of quality materials used in making non-cord grips!
Clearly, a better alternative is a supple, naturally tacky, moisture-resistant grip that is made out of 100% rubber. Our grips are molded in a way that gives the outer surface of the grips a skin that will prevent moisture from permeating the grips, making them easy to wipe dry in any weather. PURE Grips are exceptionally durable, are exceedingly comfortable and also ensure that your hands do what they are supposed to throughout your swing. You will have much fewer shanks, slices and hooks, and at the end of the day, your hands will be in perfect condition. If you're looking for not only comfort but top levels of performance as well, PURE Grips are the way to go.
