Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Grips

Published

on

Golf Pride’s new MCC Plus4 have a larger lower portion of the grip — the equivalent of four “wraps” under the lower hand.

Through tour testing and golfer feedback, Golf Pride determined that a large percentage of golfers prefer a slightly bigger grip with a less-tapered construction. The MCC Plus4 grips have 4.6 percent more diameter in the lower hand compared to the original MCC, and use a softer compound for better feel.

The multi-compound design uses a different rubber compound on the upper, which is a Brushed Cotton Technology (BCT) cord that manages moisture and adds traction to prevent slippage.

MCC Plus4 grips ($9.49 each) will be in stores March 15 and will be available in blue, grey and red. The grips weigh 52 grams each and have a .600 (Round) diameter.

    Be glad for $10 per grip. It’s $15.50 at current exchange rates in the UK! 🙁

    Agree with others.. cost of grips is getting absurd. GP comes out with less tapered option which they say large percentage of golfers prefer (I definitely prefer) and they only offer it in a $10 grip! Outrageous!
    Learn to regrip your own clubs and you can control the size/taper yourself.
    It aint that hard and it can be done without a vise if you are careful.
    Lamkin x10 is a great lower priced grip, although as I recall no cord or reminder rib available.

      Haha $10. In Australia they are $22. $10 would be a dream.

    They just need to add the reminder rib and then we finally wont have to spend so much time putting a decent grip on….

    I have been doing that to my grips for years. Lamkin cross line with two wraps on top and four on the bottom. I do it so I have a consistent feel when I choke up on the club to take distance off. I also believe that I am less proned to hook choke up shots as well. Tapered grips make absolutely no sense to me.

    Is their going to be a midsize option?

      Yes! Presently, the only color offered in midsize is gray. I am hoping they expand the selection to other colors as well.

    thicker grip towards the bottom reduces hooking. 10 bucks a grip reduces your wallet size. Grips have become ridiculously expensive….

      I would have to concur on the price of grips. Thankfully I can regrip my own clubs, but for the person who has to rely on someone else to regrip their glubs, not only are they paying upwards of $8/grip on average, then they have to shell out another $2/grip for installation. Easy math is $130 for a set of clubs, not including the putter. So if you’re the average Joe what are you going to spend the $130 on first, grips or 4 dozen balls to get you through the season?

        Grips over balls, no question. What is the use of gaming new balls with old grips? 2 wedges + 7irons x$10 =$90 and many places offer specials for re gripping if you can’t or don’t want to do it yourself.

    Does the thicker lower section do anything for your swing/grip? Or is it simply for feel?

    These new grips remind me of cigars

      If it simply was for feel that would do something for your swing/grip would it not?

      Your bottom hand generally makes the hand rotate, so having a thicker grip on the bottom hand would make your hands less likely to flip to much. It won’t fix it, but it would defiantly help.

      • Bob

        Feb 7, 2015 at 4:02 pm

        If you are really ‘flipping it’ 4 extra wraps of thickness is not going to do anything. Perhaps a softer beefier lower hand will allow lighter grip pressure and more “feel”?

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
