Golf club grips

[codswallop]

My golf clubs are due a change of grip,but can somebody please explain to me the differences that there are ie rubber....multi compound......corded......half corded......velvet and a combination of some???Thanks!!!.....A long time mid handicapper.

I think its largely dependent on your individual grip feel, some people need the grip to feel sticker or smoother, the diameter has to suit your hand size.

depending on where you get your grips from (ie: american golf) they can tailor the grip to suit you.

I agree with clarion though, nothing wrong with standard grips.

cazz is right on - just check on water resistance of your candidate grip if you are a heavy weather player would be my advice.....

Thanks to you both.When I come to think of it ,when I first bought the clubs they only had standard rubber grips,so why change?

[cazzz1975]

the grooves in the grips can wear out if you have a very strong grip over a long period makig them smoother and less sticky, so sometimes it is necessary to chage your grips.

Hi DT not quite sure of "candidate grip" as I do play all year round

[DTCwordfan]

makes sense - ever had your swing analysed for the angle you hold your club at etc - that can be fascinating - I used a set of Rams and found that I was limiting my sweet spot as my club head came in at a slight angle up. Correction was to have the club heads tilted at 3 degrees downwards...big difference on the spot and I went with the Taylor-Mades by the way. Reasonable handicap here...

Im 1 degree flat :)

my swing anaylsis was free clarion, I play off a 9/10, I bought new clubs and they offered to measure me up and I couldnt say no.

What The Funicular are you talking about?

[cazzz1975]

[Mick-Talbot]

black electricians tape of course. Nothing uncouth like red, or green........ I know how posh you golfers are.

[cazzz1975]
