RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
We do not accept any international returns at this time.
At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:
Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
- International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.
- If duties and taxes are not paid upon delivery, the carrier may be unable to complete the shipment and may return the package to us.
Refused or Unpaid Shipments
- If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
- In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.
- Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred shipping fees.
Lost or Delayed Shipments
- Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.
- If a package is significantly delayed, we encourage customers to contact their local customs office or the carrier for more information.
By placing an international order (any order shipped outside the US), you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
REFUNDS
Refunds are normally processed back to the original account (ie. credit card or PayPal). If you prefer store credit, please include this note of the refund request.

Iomic Sticky Evolution 1.8/2.3 Blackout Grip
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Iomic Sticky Evolution Blackout is the all-black version of the Sticky Evolution from Iomic's Black Armor Series. Iomic blends the soft, tacky feel of its Sticky grips with the grip power of its Evolution grips, and says the result feels stable in the swing and comfortable in the hands. This page sells two sizes: the 1.8 undersize at 48 g (±2 g) and the 2.3 standard at 50 g (±2 g), both on an M60 core with an Iomic torque rating of 2.7, made in Thailand. Pick your size in the size option.
Not sure of your size? Measure from the crease of your wrist to the tip of your middle finger, then check our grip size guide.
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want the Sticky Evolution feel in an all-black grip with no coloured cap
- Want a grip that is soft in the hands but stable through the swing, which is how Iomic describes it
- Prefer a slimmer grip (the 1.8) or a fuller standard grip (the 2.3)
- Like a tacky grip that is not rubber
Not the right fit if you...
- Want the same grip with a coloured cap: look at the blue-cap Sticky Evolution 2.3 or the Sticky Evolution 1.8
- Want Iomic's cord-style pattern the full length in black: look at the X-Evolution 2.3 Blackout (torque 3.0)
- Want the softer Sticky pattern all the way up: look at the Sticky 2.3
- Want real cotton cord for wet weather: look at the Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Standard
How It Plays
Sticky plus Evolution. Iomic built the Sticky Evolution by blending the soft, tacky feel of the Sticky line with the higher grip power of the Evolution line. Iomic says the mix gives a stable but comfortable grip that suits a wide range of players.
Two sizes. Iomic pitches the 1.8 at players who prefer a slimmer profile and the 2.3 at players who want a thicker, more stable feel.
Blackout finish. Grip, cap and logo are all black. The specifications match the regular Sticky Evolution: same weights, M60 core and 2.7 torque rating.
