Quick answer: the major grip brands — Golf Pride, Lamkin and SuperStroke — sell premium grips one at a time, so regripping all 13 clubs costs roughly $88 to $169 in grips alone (plus tape and labor). Geoleap sells the same three constructions — hybrid cord, soft rubber and TPE — molded in its own factory as a 13-piece set with tape included, for around $40. Below is the objective, spec-by-spec comparison, no marketing.
The real difference: sold by the grip vs sold as a set
It isn't a materials story first — it's a sales-model story. Golf Pride, Lamkin and SuperStroke are sold individually through retail, the traditional way grips have always been priced. A factory-direct brand boxes 13 grips and the tape together and skips the per-grip retail markup. Here's what it costs to grip a full bag at each brand's current retail, grips only:
| Brand — flagship | Construction | Cost to grip 13 clubs* |
|---|---|---|
| Golf Pride MCC / MCC Plus4 | Hybrid cord | ~$169 |
| Golf Pride CP2 Pro / Wrap | Rubber | ~$143 |
| Golf Pride Tour Velvet | Rubber | ~$98 |
| Lamkin UTx | Hybrid cord | ~$137 |
| Lamkin Sonar+ | Rubber | ~$130 |
| Lamkin Crossline | Rubber | ~$88 |
| SuperStroke Traxion Tour | Rubber + PU | ~$91 |
| Geoleap STORM / FEEL (13-piece set) | Cord hybrid / rubber / TPE | ~$40, tape included |
*Grips only, at current retail per-grip price × 13, excluding tape, solvent and installation labor. Major-brand figures are street prices and drift over time.

Spec-by-spec comparison
Standard-size specs for each brand's most popular model:
| Brand | Model | Construction | Std weight | Core | Price / grip | Sold as |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Golf Pride | Tour Velvet | Rubber | 50 g | .580 / .600" | ~$7–8 | Individually |
| Golf Pride | MCC / MCC Plus4 | Hybrid cord | ~50 g | .600" | ~$13 | Individually |
| Golf Pride | CP2 Pro | Rubber (Control-Core) | 50 g | .600" | ~$10–13 | Individually |
| Lamkin | Crossline | Rubber | 50–52 g | .580" | ~$6.50–7 | Individually |
| Lamkin | Sonar+ | Rubber | ~52 g | .580 / .600" | ~$10 | Individually |
| Lamkin | UTx | Hybrid cord | 52 g | .580" | ~$10.50 | Individually |
| SuperStroke | Traxion Tour | Rubber + PU (2-piece) | 48 g | .600" | ~$7 | Individually |
| Geoleap | STORM Hybrid | Hybrid cord | 55 g | Standard fit | ~$3 (in set) | 13-piece set |
| Geoleap | FEEL-R | Soft rubber | 55 g | Standard fit | ~$3 (in set) | 13-piece set |
| Geoleap | FEEL-ACX | TPE, triple-texture | 55 g | Standard fit | ~$3 (in set) | 13-piece set |
Two honest notes on reading this table. Geoleap's standard grips run a touch heavier (55 g vs the majors' ~48–52 g), which lowers swing weight slightly — a feel preference, not a defect. And Geoleap doesn't publish a core designation the way the majors do; its grips install on standard shafts with standard tape.
What each brand is known for
- Golf Pride — the tour standard and the widest availability in golf. If a grip is on a tour pro's club, it's most often Golf Pride. You pay for that validation, the enormous size and color selection, and shelf presence everywhere.
- Lamkin — making grips since 1925, with a value edge on its rubber lines (Crossline) and genuinely good tack on its Genesis compounds. Often a few dollars under Golf Pride for a comparable grip. Family-owned for nearly a century until SuperStroke bought it in May 2024.
- SuperStroke — built its name on putter grips (the oversized Pistol GT and Traxion putter line). Its Traxion Tour swing grip is a newer, secondary product, so its own club-grip catalog is narrower than Golf Pride's — though since the 2024 acquisition it also owns Lamkin's range.
- Geoleap — factory-direct, sold as 13-piece sets with the install tape included. The trade-off is the opposite of Golf Pride's: less retail ubiquity and no tour marketing, in exchange for set pricing straight from the factory.
That ownership change matters if you are choosing between the three: two of them now sit under one roof. We put Lamkin, Golf Pride and SuperStroke head to head — model against model, price against price — in Lamkin vs Golf Pride vs SuperStroke.
Match by construction, not by logo
Grips perform by their construction — cord, hybrid, rubber, TPE — more than by their badge. If you like a particular major-brand grip, here's the equivalent build:
- Like the Golf Pride MCC or Lamkin UTx (hybrid / tack cord)? The equivalent build is the Geoleap STORM Hybrid — cord upper, soft-rubber lower.
- Like the Golf Pride Tour Velvet or Lamkin Crossline (all-rubber)? See Geoleap FEEL-R soft rubber.
- Want a premium, durable non-rubber feel? Geoleap's FEEL-ACX uses a TPE compound that holds its tack longer than standard rubber.
For the cord-vs-rubber decision itself, see our corded vs rubber guide; to find your size across any brand, the grip size chart uses the same Standard / Midsize / Jumbo system everyone does. If you would rather read what buyers say first, there are 622 verified Geoleap reviews here.

FAQ
How much does it cost to regrip all 13 golf clubs?
In grips alone, roughly $88–$169 at major-brand retail — about $98 for Golf Pride Tour Velvet, ~$169 for the hybrid-cord MCC — plus tape and any shop labor ($3–5 per club). A factory-direct 13-piece set like Geoleap's runs around $40 with the tape included.
Is Geoleap as good as Golf Pride?
Geoleap offers the same three constructions — hybrid cord, soft rubber and TPE — molded in its own factory and sold as sets. Golf Pride brings tour validation and the widest retail selection in golf. The build categories match; you're weighing brand and availability against factory-direct set pricing.
Who owns Lamkin Grips?
SuperStroke, which announced its purchase of Lamkin in May 2024. Lamkin had been family-owned since 1925 and still sells under its own name with a separate catalogue and pricing. The full picture is in our three-brand head-to-head.
Why are name-brand golf grips so expensive?
Premium grips like the Golf Pride MCC or Lamkin UTx cost $10–13 each because they're sold one grip at a time through retail distribution, with brand and tour marketing built into the price. Buying a factory-direct set removes the per-grip retail markup, not the construction.
What Geoleap grip is most like the Golf Pride MCC?
The MCC is a hybrid cord grip — cotton cord on the upper half, rubber on the lower. Geoleap's STORM Hybrid uses the same half-cord layout and is sold as a 13-piece set.
Are cheaper golf grips lower quality?
Not necessarily — price reflects the sales model and brand as much as the materials. A factory-direct grip skips retail markup, not construction. Compare the actual spec — cord vs rubber, weight, texture — rather than the price tag.
The same constructions the majors sell one grip at a time, boxed as a factory-direct 13-piece set with tape included: STORM cord hybrids and FEEL soft rubber. Pay for the feel, not for the logo.
