These are the two soft grips seniors most often weigh against each other, and both are excellent, comfortable choices — but they get there differently. The Winn Dri-Tac is a soft polymer with a genuinely tacky surface that grips with a light hold and stays secure when damp. The Golf Pride Tour Wrap is a soft, cushioned rubber with the classic wrapped-leather look and feel a lot of long-time golfers grew up on. Below we put them side by side on the things that matter to older hands.
Where they differ
Tack and wet grip:the Winn Dri-Tac is the tackier of the two and holds on better when your hands or the weather are damp, so you can grip more lightly — a real plus for sore hands. The Tour Wrap is grippy but relies more on its cushioned texture than outright tack, and prefers drier conditions.
Feel: both are soft and cushioned. The Tour Wrap has a slightly firmer, more traditional wrapped feel that players who like feedback tend to prefer; the Dri-Tac feels softer and more shock-absorbing under the hands, which suits an arthritic hand that wants the least sting at impact.
Size options:this is the tiebreaker for many seniors. The Dri-Tac comes in standard, midsize, oversize and jumbo, so if you want to size up for sore hands it’s the easy path — see best grips for arthritis. The Tour Wrap is primarily a standard-size grip, best when you want softness without changing diameter.
Which is yours
Choose the Winn Dri-Tac if your hands are genuinely sore, if you play in dew or damp often, or if you want the option to go oversize. Choose the Tour Wrapif your hands are only mildly tired, you like a slightly firmer traditional feel, and you’re happy at standard size. Both are among the best-value quality grips going, and both soften the shock that stings the hands over eighteen holes. Not sure of your size either way? Start by measuring your grip size.
The honest caveat
Both are soft compounds, and soft compounds wear faster than firm rubber — expect to regrip sooner than you would with a hard grip. That’s a fair trade for the comfort, but plan on it; our how often to regrip guide has the timeline.
How we picked this
We haven't hit this gear — and we say so
We compiled the published manufacturer specifications — shaft weight and flex, loft, grip diameter, ball compression, cart weight — did the swing-speed and compression arithmetic, cross-read the owner manuals, and scored each pick against a published rubric. The scores are judgments from documented research — they are notlab measurements we took, because we don't have a lab and we're not going to pretend we do. Where somebody has genuinely measured this, we link them. You can check every number we publish.
