Golf Pride MCC vs. Z-Grip

Josh — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 05:05:46 GMT

I’m currently playing Golf Pride MCC midsize grips with two wraps of tape, but I’ve been curious about switching to the Z-Grips for a while now.

A younger guy working at my local Golf Town told me they’re for “try-hards,” which I thought was pretty funny, but I’ve always wanted to give them a shot for a season.

I know grips are all personal preference, and I could easily throw one on a club to test it out, but I’d rather hear from members who have actually made the switch or currently play them.

How do they compare to the MCCs in terms of feel, comfort and durability? Anyone make the switch and regret it, or wish they’d done it sooner?

I played the mcc grips for years and recently switched this year to the zgrips. I go them with the alignment aid and seem to like them a lot. I have been playing midsized grips for a few years and these fit well in my hands and I don’t mind the firmness of the grip.

I went to the Crossline Cord from MCC at my last fitting. I would say that they are similar in firmness but I like having the cord over the full length of the grip. I am interested in the V55 though and may put it on my range only MB 7 iron to see how it feels.

Linkslegend Members Bag Personalized Plate

MarkSchulteJr — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 17:03:59 GMT

I received the personalized plate I ordered for my new Linkslegend Members Bag.

I ordered the plate here: www.titleist.com/linkslegend-series

Unfortunately, I received a personalized plate for a Linksmaster bag [it has four holes for mounting]. The Linkslegend bag uses velcro to mount.

Was this a mistake or are they not making velcro-mounted plates for the Linkslegend bags yet?

Same here! I got the Velcro plate for mine just a few months back. Side note you can apparently send in a second plate request for no additional charge. I sent for a second one with my companies initials and they sent me one. That's customer service!!!

There was nothing better than slipping on those leather bottom soles with the gold spikes. I had a pair of the white pebble grain back in the day. Would love to find another pair.

Remember when we bought footjoy classics golf shoes. They came with a shoe horn and cloth shoe bags.

I have the Z-grips on a mixed set of CB, MB's and find them to be much firmer than the MMC's. But I recently put the Super Stroke Crossline grips on my other two sets of Titleist irons and really like the feel of them. Similar to the old Lamkins but a bit softer.

RE: Single Strap for Players 4 Stand Bag

Sat, 07 Nov 2026 18:08:14 GMT

Hi all- recognizing this thread is a few years old, but I am here with a solution!

Stitch Golf sells a 4 pack of link strap adaptors. The package has 3 different types of connectors, but one of them fits perfectly with the titleist buckles. I ordered their universal single strap and it is an absolutely perfection. I am now using the stitch universal single strap with my 2026 players s4!

Thought I’d share for anyone interested.

Single Strap for Players 4 Stand Bag

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 05:26:52 GMT

I've never been a fan of the dual shoulder straps, does anyone know of any decent single shoulder strap replacement options for the 2023 players 4 stand bag? I'd even be okay with a non OEM part. I know I don't have to use the 2nd strap, but it'd be nice to get rid of some of the excess clutter.

I prefer the firmer feel of Z-Grip and cord in the humid summer weather as I found the MMC grips tend to get slippery easily.

Ralph M — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:52:21 GMT

To each their own, but I prefer MCC+4 on my irons and wedges. Just feel better in my hands, and very durable.

I liked the corded portion of the MCC grips which I had used on previous iron sets, but changed to the Z-Grip cords several sets ago--most recently moved up to the midsize in irons (have used midsize on any metal woods for some time). Once used to the overall roughness, whether in hot conditions where hands are moist from sweat, or when there is some precipitation that occurs, the tackiness is top notch. I have found them quite durable with typical care of wiping down with a wet towel after every few rounds, or giving them a scrub with detergent every couple months. I play on average 2x per week.

I like softer grips like the MCC or a Wrap grip. The Z-Grips feel very hard.

RE: Going analog on the course — anyone else?

CGriffin — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 22:54:35 GMT

I have used a Garmin watch for years for GPS distances, keeping my score, and tracking club distances with the paired CT10 sensors. I also have a Canon laser rangefinder because sometimes the GPS is a bit off. I'm not into hardcore shots gained data, so the limited Garmin data is fine, but to be honest, I rarely go back and look at the data. I feel that I know my game and my distances pretty well that the data doesn't really add anything or result in anything. I guess at the end of the day, I'm really only using tech for GPS and/or laser distances and to keep score. I never use my phone on the course.

Going analog on the course — anyone else?

PinPath G — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:22:30 GMT

Lately I've noticed I don't want a phone or smartwatch tracking my rounds anymore. Golf has become one of the few times I can get away from screens, and I'd rather spend those four hours actually enjoying the game than checking a device between shots. These days I go fully analog, or at most bring a rangefinder.

To be honest, I rarely used the tracked data anyway. When I play a course I have already played before, I never look back at which club I hit on a specific hole in the past I played (it is not easy to go through the app and look it up during the round), nor do I dig into the stats afterwards (as I don't enjoy being on my phone), so the tracking was mostly adding distraction without giving me anything useful or any joy.

I'm curious what everyone else does. Do you use a GPS watch, an app, a rangefinder, or nothing at all? And how do you feel about it? Do you find the data helps your game (if so, how?), or do you also enjoy leaving the tech behind? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you in advance!

Terry towels

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 18:01:34 GMT

Hey folks,

Planning to purchase a towel to clean my clubs mid round. Anyone know if the white towel eventually becomes stained and loses its white coloring even if you consistently clean with stain remover applied? Thanks!

Yes, dark colored towels do last longer.

I use and recommend the Titleist Black Players Terry towels as don’t show any staining.

A white towel will stain over time. It's part of the charm of an experienced towel. I prefer the Scotty Cameron Caddy
