For me, this is the perfect grip. Just the right balance of soft and firm (to me it feels softer than Lamkin describe it) and the right level of traction - I think it feels really "grippy" without being tacky. The reduced taper is good too - it feels like a +2 rather than a +4 (if you know what I mean). I put these on my wedges and loved them, so I put them on my irons, and loved them, so I've put them on all my clubs. The only problem is that they are hard to get hold of. They're also not the cheapest grip, but I'd say they definitely are worth it. They just feel better quality.
