Masda's should be to me on Monday. Will let you know. The new Iomic's do look pretty though.

Are these Iomic low torques the new 2.6 models?

For straight comfort, TPE grips are pretty good, but wear fairly quickly. (iomics and nowons).

TPE grips???

Are the low torque iomics just going to basically be a higher durometer version or did they do something interesting?

I'm talking about the Iomic X-Fusion Diarrow and Rombo Grips.

It's a cord grip available in both 2.3 and 1.8 sizes, basically softer with less torque so it feels better yet doesn't twist nearly as much as the previous model or even the No1's. I am personally gonna give the cords a try on my new Irons.

Hi Shoutout,

I have had the Masda's fitted and are in play, they are good grips, firm and do not twist. After a good clean they do not slip although I would not say they are "tacky" as the iomic's are. We are having a few humid days at the moment and I did not have any slipping problems.
Although the grips are good I will be fitting the rest of my bag with iomics when the new gord versions come into the pro shop.

Hope that helps, if my opinion changes I will let you know,

Vineman

Thanks Vineman,

That's what I've been hearing concerning the Masda's. I don't think I want a firm grip, actually I know I don't want a firm grip. For the record though, I'm leaning towards Best Grip (was US Grip Master) and this new smooth grip they have now and the Nowon's, probably the 50's. I may wait for the new Iomics, but it depends on when my clubfitter gets healded up from his surgery. If they'll be out before the end of March, I might buy one to try it out...we'll see. :) Thanks again for the reply.

Just got a couple of the new Best Grips to try, I'll put them on a couple clubs next week. Been
playing gripmasters for years, but can't stand gripmaster Australia so I'm going to try these.

Thanks golf4fun, I look forward to your review.

I personally play lamkin crossline full cords, due to the extremely hot weather during the summer in California (my hands also sweat so that doesn't help at all). Even so, I would have to say that I am thoroughly impressed by the iomic grips. One of my buddies has had the sticky grips on his irons for about two full seasons and they show little to no signs of wear. Both of us play at least two 18 hole rounds a week (we are high school golfers) and hit the range for at least 5 hours during the week. The durability of these grips is crazy, not to mention they feel pretty good. Overall, I would say that the stickys are the closest thing to a winn in the iomic line and they last FOREVER.

TPE grips???

TPE stands for ThermoPlasticElastomer, basically a rubber that you can melt and injection mold, rather than mix and cure like a traditional rubber. They are typically more expensive than traditional natural rubber too, but you don't need to add carbon black, and so can more readily pigment in colours etc.

Hope this helps

Thanks japstar! It really means a lot. Right now, I'm doing well to GET my clubs, let alone attach some pricey luxurious grips to them as well. :p Going to try an Iomic wannabe in the Itomics and I also got a Lamkin 3GEN grip as well. So far, I'm leaning towards the Lamkin, but you never know. Whenever I can afford them, I do plan to get some Iomics though. Thanks again.
