If you think about it your club's grip is your only connection to the golf club but most golfers don't generally give the club grip a second thought.
The proper-sized grips on your clubs is one of the most important parts of the equipment in your golf bag and one that you have complete control over.
Grips that are worn will slip and force you to tighten your hold on the club resulting in less accurate shot making.
New grips promote better golf shots
Newer grips promote a good golf swing and better release at contact benefiting all levels of player.
Experts advise golfers to have their grips replaced at least once a season.
The Correct Grip Size
Not only does the age and condition of your grips affect the way you hold the golf club the size of the grips is equally important.
If the grip is too small the club could twist in your hands, the result of tightening your grip and squeezing the club at the bottom of the swing.
When the grip is too large the club could come loose at impact, opening the club face, resulting in a slice.
How to Check your Grip Size
If you have a proper fitting golf glove you can simply check the size; small, medium or large.
If there is space between your fingers and palm when you wrap your leading hand around the grip, when setting up to address the ball, your grip size is too large.
Your grip size is correct when your middle and third fingers just touch the pad of your palm.
It can be done at your club by your professional or with a little trial & error you can quickly and easily regrip your own clubs.
Re-gripping will not only make your clubs feel new again but with new, correct sized grips you will have better traction and the tack to provide the basis for better golf shots.
