Cross Comfort Club Grip

Bottom Line: A key to install is coating the inside of the grip by plugging small hole end with a finger, add solvent, plug larger opening with other hand finger and swish back and forth while rotating the grip. Then empty solvent out the small hole into the grip over a paint tray.Details:The grips are great. Being soft grips, they will wear out quicker than Golf Pride, but I much prefer this feel. It’s similar to Dri-Tac.These are definitely harder to install. My struggles and then success:Attempt 1:First attempt was without a vise, as I have always done. I coated the tape in the shaft with solvent and then coated the inside of the grip by moving the solvent tip around the inner edge of the opening. I did not plug both ends and swish it back and forth (later realize this is a key mistake).I really struggled just to get the end of the grip over the edge of the shaft and then really struggled to get the grip on. All the “goo” from the tape was piling at the end as I pushed. I finally got it, but was risking bending my club head.Attempt 2:I ordered a vise that clamps to a desk because I don’t have a full work bench to mount one too. I mounted it to an old ikea cabinet I didn’t care about and followed a similar technique as Attempt 1. Fail. I got the grip about 2 inches on and it bent and that was it. Trash. I realized the cabinet wasn’t heavy enough to hold my force of pushing, but the key problem was there was still too much friction while trying to push the grip on.Attempt 3: Success (see pic)I moved the cabinet against the wall so I could push as hard as I could. I moved the vise closer to the grip end. I squeezed the black tip of the grip and rolled it to loosen it up in hopes it would get over the end of the shaft easier. Then I plugged the small opening of the grip with my left index finger and poured solvent into the grip by swirling it around the inner edge. Then I plugged the bigger opening of the grip with my right index finger and tilted the solvent in the grip back and forth while spinning it to completely coat the inside of the grip. Then I removed my left index finger and let the solvent drip onto the double sided tape on the shaft to soak it, catching it in a disposable paint tray. I quickly put on the grip, holding the shaft near the vise with my left had while getting the edge of the grip over the edge of the shaft with my right hand. Once on, I used two hands on the grip to push it straight on, and it went in one motion. I don’t need to twist at all. Then, if needed, just slightly straighten by rotating it.Success! I used this process with no issues for the rest of the clubs.I think the keys were loosening the tip of the grip by squeezing it in different directions and then the thorough coating of the inside of the grip by tilting back and forth is critical.Good luck! I almost returned them swearing the inner diameter was too small, but it’s not.

Very comfortable grip. I’m pleased with the feel and performance. Price wasn’t bad either.

These are great feeling and looking grips. Fantastic value, especially given the light weight (I was replacing regular sized grips with these larger grips but wanted to leave the swing weight unchanged). I suspect that the light weight feature creates a problem though. During installation, about 1/3 of the grips wound up having a bump in them, that I suspect was bunched up material. I presume to get the weight down, Superstroke used a sandwich type construction with a softer foam in the middle and a thin rubber skin on the inside, and that if I didn't get them on just right, that rubber skin would get bunched up. I've regripped probably 10 ten sets of clubs, so not my first time. Perhaps Superstroke needs to develop an installation tutorial. If you push on the butt end, they fold up and if you pull on the tip end, they tighten like a Chinese handcuff.

I love the grips. I usually play Winn Dri-Tech AVS grips. These grips are very similar and half the price. I saw all the reviews about the grips being hard to install. I had a very hard time installing the first 3. The collar pushes the tape and creates a bulge, and you can't get them on. I tried the air pump trick, and it worked for the grip that was halfway on and stuck. I then tried another brand of tape, and the grips slid right on. I guess some tape is thinner than others. So far so good.

Not sure why I waited so long to regrip my clubs. I used this to regrip my driver, and I'm over the moon with this grip. Love the tacky but soft feel. Really seems to make a difference so far.

I decided to break away from the norm of bigger name golf grips and try these super stroke Iron/driver grips. I’ve used super stroke putter grips for years (as do many avid golfers) and have always love the feel. I originally bought 3 for my driver and woods and they slid on without a problem but noticed they bunched up after install. Didn’t think much of it, so went ahead and purchased more for my irons. The first two irons fought me like crazy and bunched up worse than the one on my driver. After fighting and ruining two other grips to put on my 3rd iron I gave up. The grip itself is a two piece grip where the outside part of the grip is not even connected to the inside that holds onto the shaft, which causes the bunching. Tried to save some money of what I thought would be an outstanding deal, but looks like I’m going back to Golf pride!

Very good grip easy on hands and easy to install very sturdy

I really like these. I have arthritis in my hands and these are a good size without being huge.
