Golf Pride Women’s Tour Velvet Grip

The Golf Pride Tour Velvet in ladies size is the classic Tour Velvet grip in a slimmer .580 core version, priced at $6.99 per grip.

Why it made the list

Grips wear out long before clubs do. Once the rubber turns shiny and hard, you squeeze harder to hold on, and that tension shows up in your swing. Fresh grips are one of the cheapest ways to get control back.

The Tour Velvet is Golf Pride’s classic rubber grip, and the ladies size makes it a better fit for smaller hands than a standard men’s grip.

What it does well

• The ladies version uses a .580 core, smaller than the standard size, so the grip is slimmer in your hands.
• At about 47.5g, it’s lighter than a standard Tour Velvet, which keeps the club from feeling butt heavy in a women’s build.
• The rubber blend compound has a computer designed, non-slip surface pattern for steady traction.
• This listing is the round version in black, so you can install it with no fixed reminder rib.

A round grip lets you rotate the club to open or close the face without feeling a ridge under your fingers, which some players prefer around the greens.

Who it’s for

It’s for women whose grips are worn, slick or too thick for their hands. If you’ve moved into a new set with men’s grips, swapping to the ladies size is a quick fix.

Who should skip it

If you have larger hands, a standard or midsize grip will likely feel better. Golfers who play mostly in rain or heat with sweaty hands might prefer a corded grip, which Golf Pride also makes.

How it compares

Regripping and a new glove work together. The Callaway Women’s Tour Authentic Golf Glove adds tack on top of a fresh grip for dry days.

For wet rounds, the Callaway Women’s Rain Spann Golf Gloves (Pair) help you hold on when the grips are soaked, though they don’t replace worn grips.

Good to know

Grips are sold one at a time at $6.99 each, so a full set of irons, woods and hybrids adds up. A club fitter can install them in a few minutes, or you can do it yourself with grip tape, solvent and a vise. Putter grips are a different shape, so don’t use this on your putter. Clean grips with mild soap and water to keep them tacky longer.
