Honest review after 3 months and at least 3 practice sessions and 1 round a week. Of course as anyone, I was skeptical about a new grip brand especially one that is seemingly aesthetics-focussed. All my skepticism was overturned after multiple rounds of practice and play as the T01 Cords held up much better than my previous grips, the Gold Pride Tour Velvet Cord. These are not simply an aesthetic grip. It is very much a tour level performance grip. The black and white cord is dense and provides excellent moisture control. Together with the rubber base, this grip provides just the right amount of tackiness. The grip is firm but that is likely due to the 0.580 core size and the fact I built it up +2. I like a firm grip so this was not an issue. The main feature I am happy with is the durability. The grips feel new even after 3 months of play. The feedback, tackiness, and durability make this grip an all-around performer even in humid or wet conditions (I'm in Florida). I am sticking with '97 and from what they advertise, more full cord colors are on the way.
