LAMKIN
UTX
A soft synthetic rubber foundation absorbs shock, a middle layer wicks moisture, and the firm final layer resists twisting.Price: $9lamkingrips.com

WINN

AVON
EVOLUTION EV1
The least expensive grip on the list—but performance isn't sacrificed. There are two different patterns on the grip, to create a combination of traction and stickiness.Price: $4avongrips.com
BOCCIERI
SECRET GRIP
This grip is heavy: 92 grams. (Most grips weigh around 50 grams.) The weight creates a counterbalanced effect, shifting the balance point of the club further towards the grip. With more weight in your hands, theoretically you'll have more control, too.Price: $13boccierigolf.com
CHAMP
C8
Two different traction shapes (U's and hash marks) alternate throughout the grip. The overall wrapping shape makes for better shock absorption.Price: $16champspikes.com

Iomic took its best-selling grip and made it 30% more durable, while still maintaining feel.Price: $12iomicusa.com
LAMKIN
I-LINE
The classic Lamkin Cross-Line pattern is in play on this grip, but the grip itself is made of a softer material than has been typical of Lamkin, to make sure it's not too abrasive.Price: $8lamkingrips.com
NO1
ICHI
The name derives from the Japanese word that means 'one'. Fitting, because this grip is a mix of two different grips, put into one: The top is firm and the lower is tacky.Price: $18no1grip.com
WINN
DRI-TAC WRAP LITE
Weighing just 22 grams, this grip is extremely light (the next lightest grip Winn submitted is 45 grams). This puts the weight in the head of the club, to improve clubhead feel.Price: $6winngrips.com
