GolfPride launches the Tour Wrap MicroSuede featuring added traction
GolfPride has announced its latest model to join their Tour Wrap family – the Tour Wrap MicroSuede.
Designed with an additive finishing process that produces a brushed surface finish, The Tour Wrap MicroSuede aims to offer players both increased soft feel and added traction.
As with all of GolfPride’s Tour Wrap grips, the MicroSuede features the family’s wrap style grip construction which is designed for enhanced finger nesting, while the added traction on the latest addition aims to offer golfers a grip which effectively manages moisture in higher humidity areas or wet conditions.
Speaking on the new release, Bruce Miller, product manager, Golf Pride, stated
“The Tour Wrap franchise has an incredibly loyal following. In fact, the Tour Wrap is Golf Pride’s 3rd best-selling grip series. This new MicroSuede technology feels very different than anything else in the family.
While the Tour Wrap 2G is renowned for delivering high tack, the new Tour Wrap MicroSuede provides incredibly soft traction. It instantly conveys confidence, while providing a unique feel, different than any other wrap style grip we have made.”
The Tour Wrap MicroSuede hits retails stores in August and will be available in both standard and midsize in a smoke grey color, and is priced at $5.99 and $6.49, respectively.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Here’s a question…do tour wraps fit/work equally well for lefties? I always find that as a lefty the spiral goes the wrong way….

What is the weight and durability? It’s going to be another long, hot, and wet Summer here in CFL where Winn grips last a whole 6 mos.

FWIW, the Tour Wrap 2g is already soft and tacky. But in the rain it becomes a slip ‘n’ slide for your hands. It would be pretty awesome if these felt the same as the 2g, when dry, and much more tacky when wet.
All they needs now is a Tour Wrap that’s as firm as the MCC (not +4, <–too soft)
