Yes, if you already like a reduced-taper grip and want that feel for less money. The Element 4X sells for $9.99 to $10.25 against $12.99 for the Golf Pride MCC Plus4 it’s built to beat, so a 13-grip set saves you roughly $26 to $65 in grip cost alone. The catch is evidence. It carries 4 Amazon ratings against several thousand for the MCC Plus4, and one owner disputes how it handles humidity.
Regripping is the cheapest honest upgrade in golf. It won’t buy you distance. It will buy back the feel your hands lost two seasons ago. The SuperStroke REVL Element 4X is a full-swing club grip, not a putter grip, and that matters because SuperStroke built its reputation on oversized putter grips before it ever competed here. It launched in 2026 as the 4X version of the standard REVL Element, aimed at one product: the Golf Pride MCC Plus4, the reduced-taper hybrid grip most fitters treat as the default. The pitch is a built-up lower hand meant to even out pressure between your hands. Golf Pride has sold that idea for years under the Plus4 name, so the mechanism here isn’t new. The execution might be.
What SuperStroke brings is material. In May 2024 the company bought Lamkin Grips outright, and with it Lamkin’s proprietary Genesis compound. The REVL line launched in June 2025 on that inheritance, and the Element 4X is its newest branch. The upper hand uses cord-infused ACE Material for an all-weather surface. The lower hand switches to softer Genesis+, right where the enlarged 4X profile sits. That split is the genuinely new part, more than the 4X shape itself. At $9.99 direct and $10.25 on Amazon, it undercuts the MCC Plus4 by about $3 a grip and the Align version by $5. It sits in the same price band as the Lamkin Sonar+ it’s quietly replacing, and the Winn Dri-Tac, which chases comfort through tack instead of taper. You get three sizes, one color, and a single 60R core across all of them. It also isn’t stocked at the big multi-brand chains yet, so you’re buying direct, from GolfWorks, or on Amazon. Whether that’s a bargain or a gamble depends on how many clubs you’re doing at once.
The REVL Element 4X pairs modern oversized stability with genuine tactile responsiveness. Its unique four-corner geometry fits naturally into the fingers, eliminating grip tension while delivering crisp, immediate feedback on off-center strikes.

The $3 Per Grip Gap Is Where This Grip Actually Earns Its Place
The Element 4X saves you $26 to $65 on a full set against the Golf Pride MCC Plus4 family, and that’s the entire commercial case for it. Everything else is close enough to call a tie.
Here’s arithmetic you can check. Thirteen Element 4X grips run about $130. Thirteen MCC Plus4 grips run about $169. Step up to the MCC Plus4 Align at $14.99 a grip and the set costs more again. Across that spread the grip-cost saving lands between $26 and $65. Now add labor. A big-box chain charges as little as $0.99 per club when you bring your own grips. A full-service shop charges $8 to $15 per club bundled. DIY runs $4 to $12 per grip in tape and solvent.
Run those together and a complete regrip lands between roughly $143 and $325. Your grip choice moves that total by $26 to $65. Labor swings it harder. Paying a shop the full bundled rate? The grip you pick is close to a rounding error, so buy what you like best. Doing it yourself, or paying the dollar-a-club rate, the grips are most of the bill and $26 to $65 is real money.
One more number worth knowing. The cheaper sibling in the same line, the REVL Player 360 4X, sells for $7.99, uses one material top to bottom, and skips the cord. The $2 you pay up for buys the cord upper hand and the material split. Don’t want cord? You’re paying for something you won’t use. Our golf grips guide covers which grip types suit which hands and climates, worth a read before you commit to thirteen of anything.
The 4X Lower Hand Is Golf Pride’s Idea Wearing Lamkin’s Materials
The 4X profile is an enlarged lower hand meant to simulate four extra wraps of grip tape, and it’s the same mechanism Golf Pride has sold as Plus4 Technology for years. SuperStroke isn’t hiding that. The name says it out loud.
The theory is straightforward. A conventional grip tapers from butt to tip, so your lower hand squeezes a thinner section than your upper hand. Build that section up and both hands sit on similar diameters, which should reduce tension and stop the trail hand overpowering the lead hand. Golf Pride describes Plus4 in those terms. SuperStroke pairs it with less taper along the whole length, and one published hands-on test found that immediately noticeable, calling the hold comfortable and relaxed.
Now the honest part. No published lab or mechanical test of the pressure-reduction claim exists for this grip. Nobody has put a sensor on it against a standard-taper grip. Every account on record is a feel report, not a measurement. That’s true of Golf Pride’s version too, so it isn’t a knock on SuperStroke alone. You’re buying a shape plenty of golfers like, not a proven effect.
Where SuperStroke does bring something of its own is the compound. Genesis+ is an upgraded Lamkin Genesis material, acquired with the rest of the Lamkin grip business in May 2024. One published review of the REVL line calls it softer than standard rubber while still holding tack, and notes the tack comes back with cleaning rather than glazing over. A grip that revives with soap and water outlasts one that hardens.
The Cord Upper And Soft Lower Hand Is the Real Point of Difference
The two-material build separates this grip from its rivals and from its own cheaper sibling, and it’s the feature you should be deciding on. The 4X geometry is borrowed. The material split isn’t.
The upper hand uses ACE Material with cord woven through it. Cord is coarse and it bites, which is why it’s the standard answer for wet hands and heavy rain, and why some golfers hate it against bare skin. The lower hand drops the cord for Genesis+, softer and more forgiving under a trail hand that isn’t wearing a glove. Golf Pride’s MCC Plus4 does something similar with a brushed cotton cord upper and a rubber lower, so the concept isn’t unique. The compounds differ, and that’s where the reported feel difference comes from.
One golfer who had both grips installed in 2026 switched from the MCC Plus4 to the Element 4X and said outright that he liked it more, and that it ran about $3 a grip cheaper. That’s one account, not a study. It’s still the most useful evidence on record, from someone with both grips in hand.
Compare the alternatives and it gets clearer. The Lamkin Sonar+ is a single-material rubber-polymer blend with no reduced taper, and SuperStroke is winding it down in favor of this line. The Winn Dri-Tac is a single-material polymer chasing comfort through tackiness instead of geometry. Neither offers the split build. If you want cord on top and a soft compound underneath at this price, the field is basically the Element 4X and the MCC Plus4, and one of them costs $3 less.
Three Sizes On One Core Makes the Fitting Decision Simple
All three sizes share a 60R core and the same 10.7 inch length, so the only things changing between them are diameter and weight. That makes it an easy grip for you to size. It also makes the weight jump the number you should think hardest about.
The Standard measures 1.08 inches in diameter and weighs 52.5g. Midsize goes to 1.12 inches and 65.5g. Jumbo goes to 1.18 inches and 81g. Do the subtraction and you’re adding 28.5g over Standard, real mass on the butt end of every club in your bag. Midsize adds 13g over Standard. Move up a size across a full set and you’re changing how those clubs feel through the swing, not only at address.
There’s a second comparison worth making. The plain REVL Element weighs 46.5g in Standard and 59g in Midsize, so the 4X adds 6g and 6.5g on top. It’s also longer, 10.7 inches against 10.44, and a little fatter at standard size, 1.08 against 1.07. None of that is dramatic. All of it is real, and it’s why moving from the plain Element to the 4X shouldn’t feel like the same club.
The shared 60R core keeps installation simple across bore-through and one-piece shafts, one less variable at the kitchen bench. One thing the listings don’t include: grip tape and solvent. No retailer we checked ships them with the grip, so budget separately if you’re installing yourself. If alignment help matters more to you than price, the Golf Pride MCC Align adds a raised alignment ridge this grip has no answer for.
Buy One Grip Before You Buy Thirteen
The Element 4X has 4 Amazon ratings averaging 3.8 out of 5. The MCC Plus4 has between 1,266 and 4,700 ratings across retailers at 4.8 to 4.9. That gap is the single biggest reason to test one before you commit a set.
Honestly, nothing about those four ratings says the grip is bad. It says the grip is new. It went live in late May 2026 and the first hands-on review didn’t appear until the end of July. The early sales signal is good: it ranked sixth among new-release golf club grips and showed 50-plus bought in the past month, which is repeat interest rather than a single opinion. But early sales tell you people are curious. They don’t tell you how the compound holds up after a season of sweat and sunscreen.
The practical move is cheap and obvious. Buy one, put it on a mid iron, and play it for a few weeks. You’ll know inside a month. A single grip costs about $10 and roughly a dollar in labor at a chain. If it works, regrip the set and you’re out $130 in grips. If it doesn’t, you’re out ten bucks, which beats staring at thirteen clubs you don’t want to hold.
That advice applies twice as hard if you play in real heat. The moisture-handling record on this grip is genuinely split, and I cover that below. A single-club trial through one humid month settles the question for your hands and your climate better than any review can, mine included. It’s the approach I’d take with any grip carrying this little history, and it costs almost nothing to run.
What I Don’t Love
The moisture claim is unresolved, and for a grip that markets itself on humid-weather traction, that’s what I’d be annoyed to discover after buying thirteen of them. One published hands-on test, played over multiple rounds in hot and humid conditions, reported reliable moisture management with no twisting or slippage. One golfer running the Element on a full set of irons reported the opposite, saying the Genesis material doesn’t do too well in humidity, and he found out during a club championship weekend. Both can’t be right about the same conditions. Nobody has run a controlled test to break the tie.
That conflict disqualifies one group outright: golfers in consistently hot, sticky climates who can’t afford to find out mid-round. Buy one and test it, or buy something with a longer track record.
Two smaller annoyances stack on top. It ships in black only, so a color-matched set is out. And there’s no alignment ridge, which the MCC Plus4 Align does give you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the SuperStroke REVL grips good?
The broader REVL line has a real following. The Element 4X has a thin but positive record: Amazon shows 4 ratings at 3.8 out of 5, one published hands-on test praised the reduced taper and the feel, and one golfer preferred it to a Golf Pride MCC Plus4 he had installed. Against that sits a first-hand account of the material struggling in humidity. The compounds come from Lamkin, bought by SuperStroke in May 2024, so the materials have history even if this grip doesn’t.
What is the weight of the SuperStroke REVL Element grip?
It depends on version and size. The REVL Element 4X weighs 52.5g in Standard, 65.5g in Midsize and 81g in Jumbo. The plain REVL Element without the 4X profile is lighter, 46.5g and 59g across the two sizes it offers, with no Jumbo. That puts the 4X about 6g heavier at a matched size, since the built-up lower hand uses more rubber. All three 4X sizes run 10.7 inches on a 60R core, so length and fitment don’t change as you size up.
How long do SuperStroke grips last?
There’s no published durability figure for the Element 4X, and with 4 ratings on record there isn’t the ownership history to give you an honest number. One thing is documented and it helps: the Genesis+ compound’s tack revives with a wash instead of glazing over for good, which beats a grip that hardens permanently. Clean them and you’ll stretch their life. The cost side you can plan for, since a full 13-grip replacement runs about $130 in grips before labor.
Is a SuperStroke putter grip worth it?
That’s a different product line from this review. SuperStroke made its name on oversized putter grips, judged on separate questions: hand pressure through a stroke, counterbalancing, and how much wrist action you want to remove. A club grip like the Element 4X gets judged on taper, traction and feel through a full swing. If you’re weighing a putter grip, our SuperStroke TLT Off-Axis putter grip review covers that side of the catalog. Don’t carry a conclusion from one category into the other.
What SuperStroke grip does Rory McIlroy use?
I can’t verify any individual tour player’s current grip from the sources behind this review, and I won’t guess. What SuperStroke does publish is a brand-wide figure: 66 tournament wins and over $68 million in 2025 prize money across its full putter and club grip catalog. That covers every model the company sells, not this one. The Element 4X launched in 2026, so it couldn’t have contributed to a 2025 result. Treat tour-usage marketing as a signal about the company, never evidence about the grip you’re buying.
Final Thoughts: SuperStroke REVL Element 4X Grip Review
This is a good grip at a fair price with a short history, and all three of those things matter. The reduced-taper lower hand is borrowed from Golf Pride, the cord-and-Genesis+ split is SuperStroke’s own contribution, and the $9.99 to $10.25 price undercuts the category leader by about $3 per grip. Across a 13-club set that’s $26 to $65 back in your pocket, the gap between a DIY regrip and a shop bill. The one direct head-to-head on record went in this grip’s favor on feel, not only on price.
What I’d tell a friend is simple. If you already know you like the reduced-taper feel, this is the cheapest honest way to get it, and I’d buy it. If you’ve never tried one, or if you play every round in heavy humidity, buy a single grip and put it on a 7-iron first. The moisture question is genuinely open, and 4 customer ratings can’t close it for you. That’s a ten dollar test on a $130 decision, which is about the best odds you’ll get in golf equipment.
