One simple equipment refurb

Last week we recommended you keep your wallet in the pocket and not think about new clubs or adjustments to lie angles, until you’d had a swing check to look at your setup and posture. There is one equipment check you should get done though.

If someone told you that playing with the same clubs with fresh grips (vs grips that had been used for 40 rounds) gave you a 10% improvement on shot dispersion and 3 metres of extra carry distance would that matter to you? How many rounds have you played with your current grips?

There are four simple checks to make of your grips: are they shiny or glossy? Have the cosmetics worn off (as shown below) or is some of the paint fill disappearing? Or have they even reached the stage where they’re starting to crumble?

Every golfer, even those who’re less experienced, will immediately notice how much better the club feels as you swing it with fresh grips. Much less expensive than buying a new set. A good step towards better ball striking.

And while we’re at it

It will be a good idea BEFORE changing grips to let us do a quick check of that grip size. Even more negative for your shot dispersion is the wrong grip size. Now is a good time to have both of those checks. Send us a message to start the conversation.
