    Titleist, What is this garbage?... It's cheapier than stuff bought off Amazon... Tour Velvet 360 cost $7 retail... You increased the wedges to $200... And now I have to buy $7 grip on top of that?...

    This is not TV, any grip for any manufacturer all say Golf Pride on the bottom. I've used nothing but Tour Velvet and Tour Velvet 360 standard for the entire 6 years I've been golfing. This feels nothing like it. The feel is totally cheapy, the rubber is thin and very soft and elastic. The Titlist stamping looks like a Temu knock off... I think a Temu knock off would be better. I've bought an 8pk of cheap amazon grips for $13 for a friend starting to golf, and those grips were 10x better quality than this dissappointment on my brand new Vokey.

    So the issue is the price of the club increased but the stock grip is still unchanged over the years? Regardless of the price of a club, I’ve always replaced the 360 as a personal preference. Either on order or after delivery.

    I’ll guess you can order wedges (not authentic Vokey) from Temu for under $200 . As well as running shoes for less than what I pay for New Balance. Everyone sees value in different ways.

    No, the stock grip completely changed from Tour Velvet to some cheap poor quality generic grip. That's the issue.

    When you order clubs from Titleist/Vokey, you have the choice of any grip you like. So what is the real issue here. Choice. I order free stock grips off and then put on Golf Pride MCC plus fours. Has worked for me for years.

    Their build tolerances are too lax... Things can be almost 2 swing weights off.
    I build my head/shaft/grip that way I know what is going in it and it's done right.
    Especially with the "Vokey" shafts... They unofficially say it's S200, but it could be anything from S200-S400.
    Tour Issue is better, but they're still not getting swing weights to the correct spec....

    Yes, I can tell the difference in 1 swing weight... I proved it to the club fitter at the store when I brought him 2 of the same Vokeys and told him one is lighter, and has a softer flex, and it's swing weight was light... He didn't believe me. We checked it and one was almost 10g lighter... .S200 vs S400 and was D2.8 vs D4.3
