Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN Grip Review

50 Words or Less

The Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN combines the most popular grip in golf with technology that will help improve your consistency.

Introduction

Last year, Golf Pride introduced ALIGN technology in their Multi Compound and MCC Plus Four grips.  At this year’s PGA Show, they announced that ALIGN was coming to the Tour Velvet.

The Tour Velvet isn’t a flashy grip – all black with white branding.  The ALIGN version does add a little more spice with a red band around the “Golf Pride” logo and a red cap.  Of course, what makes it stand out most is the bright red ALIGN stripe along the back of the grip .

Tour Velvet is the standard in golf because it’s right in the middle in terms of feel .  It’s not squishy soft, but it’s not firm either.  It has good traction without feeling like sandpaper.

What makes the ALIGN version unique is the raised ridge on the back of the grip .  Before it’s installed, you can feel the texture difference in the red channel, but you won’t feel is “stand up.”  When it’s installed, however, you will feel that the ridge sticks out substantially from the grip (see below) and has a firmer texture.

Performance

The Tour Velvet is popular on Tour and with amateurs for a reason: it’s a solid grip in all conditions .  There are grips that are tackier, there are grips with more traction, there are softer grips, but the Tour Velvet delivers for a huge majority of golfers, rain or shine.

The purpose of ALIGN is to give golfers more consistency with their hand placement .  The channel should help the grip fall into the same place in the golfer’s hands on every swing.  We’ve all seen the guy who’s constantly fiddling with his hands on the grip.  ALIGN is meant to end that.

I’ll admit to being skeptical of ALIGN, at least for my own use.  I’ve never used a ribbed or reminder grip, and I wasn’t sure I would like it.  I was surprised to find myself instantly comfortable with the ALIGN even on my driver.  The grip worked exactly as designed, helping me notch the grip into the same spot on my fingers every time.  After a few swings, I felt noticeably more confident once I had locked in on the ALIGN channel.

There are two potential drawbacks that are worth noting.  First, these grips need to be installed perfectly .  If you get the ALIGN channel out of place, you’ll be setting up with a consistently askew club face.  This shouldn’t stop you from trying ALIGN, just make sure you have a trusted club builder install them.

The other potential problem is for players who like to set up with the club face in different positions .  I would expect to see this primarily with the wedges, where players may like to hit shots with an open face.  For these players, ALIGN may be a good choice for their full swing clubs but not the wedges.

No word in golf is as prized as “consistency” and that’s exactly with the Golf Pride Tour Velvet ALIGN grips deliver.  The raised channel on the back of the grip will help you lock in the same hand position on every swing, which eliminates one variable from the golf swing.  Especially if you get fidgety with your hands before your swing, ALIGN grips are worth checking out.

Hi Matt – this does sound like an invitation for blisters or exaggerated callouses. Any thoughts on that possibility?

Thanks, Mike

There’s no reason it should cause problems anymore than a standard grip outside of the additional texture, which is quite mild. If anything, it could lock the grip into place more effectively resulting in less rubbing.

Matt, How do these grips work with adjustable drivers, fairways and hybrids? I suppose the same question could be posed for “Pured” shafts in adjustable clubs. If the theory is that only one orientation is proper, what happens when that alignment is changed? Thanks, Dave

Once you establish the shaft position/hosel adjustment that you want, there’s no issue with these grips. For the player that is tweaking the hosel setting during every range session, the ALIGN isn’t going to work.

I adjust my SiM rocket 3 wood depending on weather or course conditions. I took a bit to get use to having the align on the side of the club/grip. In the long run when say I set the 3 wood to about 12 degrees. Using it off the tee for courses that are shorter tight and tree lined. Then I know where the line fits in my grip. It is the same just a feeling to get use to. Still aids with a consistent set up. Feels odd at first. My concern is with the wedges. I have always used New decade multi compound on my wedges. I went to blades. I wanted a bit softer, less grip pressure transferred in to the shaft, so I got TaylorMade stock grip years ago.. Just bought P76O irons, put tour Velvet aligns on. I am a locksmith with wedge play, short game. Wondering if the align will help like with the adjustable. Or will it hinder me feel and confidence? Wedge set up, open, shut, chipping using the grooves to control spin, direction, I even use a side spin chip to avoid dicey down slopes directing the ball with spin and path. Also the lead edge, and sole lie is all in regard to the ground and lie of the ball to club selection, shot type , impact spot on the ball in correlation of the lie. I am starting to think it might have me feeling uncomfortable, thinking about the line on the grip instead of the club face loft, angle and amount of space for the lead edge. Should I stick with my NDMC or get the regular tour Velvets(no align) for consistency through the bag ? Or go in a more neutral direction of Vokey patriot Z grip?(3 old groove Vokey Raw/ 1 SM8 raw) I am confused as what to do. I often wear no glove with wedge play as well. Play golf everyday, suffer mild pains in my pinkey finger every morning.

I play the same grip from driver through lob wedge, I like the consistency, but I can’t tell you what you will like or play well with. I would suggest trying the Align in your wedges and seeing what happens.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
