It's that time of year I’s that time of year when you start looking at your clubs and either think – I really need a new set of clubs or these clubs really need re-gripping. Have you ever been fitted for the correct grip? Such considerations should be taken as size, weather conditions you play in, preferred surface texture and firmness Size
Size is the single most important factor when selecting a grip. There are four basic golf grip sizes: Undersize, Standard, Midsize and Oversize. Using an improperly fitted grip can cost a player 3-4 strokes every round. A grip that's too small, promotes extra hand action and commonly leads to pulling the ball. A grip that's too large limits wrist pronation, stifles shot distance, and can cause you to slice or push the shot. Weather Conditions
For golfers playing in wet and humid weather, special care should be taken to select the right golf grip. Golf grips that include cord fabric are especially helpful in creating extra traction and support in wet conditions. But, for many players, cord grips are too aggressive for their hands. If cord is not an option, then golfers should look for a grip with a heavy pattern and surface texture to provide the necessary traction to keep their clubs from slipping (or flying) out of their hands. Smooth grips and grips made of plastic or other polymers are not well suited for play in extremely wet conditions. Surface Texture
The design and pattern on the surface of a grip creates either a smooth feel or a more coarse and abrasive feel. When selecting a grip, golfers should choose a texture that feels comfortable and secure Firmness
High Performance grips feel firm and offer superior control that is well suited for players with high swing speeds. Firmer grips are favoured by Tour players and PGA Professionals because they promote a light-pressure grip while providing incredible stability. Comfort Grips are softer feeling and ideal for players with lower swing speeds or minimized hand strength. These grips tend to feel tackier, but do not provide the stability and control of a firm grip. While soft grips do feel very comfortable, players have a tendency to use excess hand pressure to create a secure, confident grip on their club.
