Get a Grip

HOW TO PLAY YOUR BEST GOLF

With the Release of new equipment from major companies like Taylor made and Titleist, golfers can’t wait to get the new and improved clubs in hand. Yet, one important piece of equipment that golfers tend to overlook is the grip on their clubs.

 The gold grip is the main and only contact you have with your golf club. Worn out or improper grips can lead to bad shots and inconsistent scores.

If you play two to three rounds or more of golf a week you should have your grips replaced annually.

If you play only occasionally, you should have the grips replaced every couple of years, or when a club requires it. When a grip looks shiny, feels slippery, is ripped/torn and/or has a wear mark or groove all the way through the grip down to the shaft, its time to replace it.

Grip options are limitless. Companies such as Golf Pride make undersized (thinner) grips for children/ladies, all the way up to jumbo size grips for men and golfers who suffer with arthritis.

 SuperStroke

When it comes to putting, there is no one proper technique or style. In recent years, SuperStroke has enjoyed huge success in the golf world with their putter grips. SuperStroke uses a parallel technology that allows for even pressure in both hands, 
eliminating added tension in the wrist and forearms. This helps the arms to swing free and create a natural putting stroke.  

With a traditional tapered putter grip, the top of the grip is bigger than the bottom. This causes you to squeeze the club tighter with your bottom hand, causing tension in your putting stroke. SuperStroke also offers four different grip models with varying diameters, in a variety of colors.
