Golf Pride says that this design also has great benefits: lighter grip pressure, reduced tension, and increased power. It’s also thought that a larger lower hand makes hooking the ball less likely.

The cotton cord and soft rubber material combination is comfortable to grip in all conditions, but it’s in wet weather that its performance benefits come into their own. You’ll definitely find it easier to maintain good grip in the rain. My usual grip installation is “3 + 2”, which means I have three wraps of tape running the full length of the grip, and two additional wraps under my bottom hand.

With the extra four wraps built into the Golf Pride Plus4 models, that saves me a TON of time. There is much less manual tape work and I’m building my clubs much faster.
