I'm looking to regrip after this season and appreciate your reviews. I have tendon issues in my lead wrist, but I would think any grip that provides relief for an elbow would be helpful for the wrist as well.

I agree with the theory and would definitely put these on your list of grips to try. If I’d gone with the standard size, I wouldn’t have had any swing-weight issues, but I think its the combination of thick and soft that really helps my elbow.

Glad to hear these are helping you. But need to comment on "poor mans MOI adjustment. If you had 6 grams to the head you INCREASE the club MOI by 60 points, 10 grams INCREASE MOI by 100 points. If the total MOI of you woods without the grip changes was good, high potential that adding lead tape will not help the club perform as before.

Thanks Tony. It would have been great to do the MOI matching correctly (as we've talked about previously), but unfortunately I don't have the equipment or skills to disassemble and do it correctly. The progressive swing weighting seems to be working well on the evidence of today's round. I particularly like the heavier weight of the short irons.

Tony, I've reworded that section to better describe what I was trying to do.

Ok. By the way progressive swing weighting is pretty close to MOI matching. Which is why I believe many tour pros add less tape to their irons.
