Golf club grips are the least expensive yet one of the most important parts of a golf club. Golf grips are the most essential learning aid for any new golfer. Grips make it easier for a beginner to pick up the golf club right the first time. Established players also benefit from learning new grip changes with a formed golf grip.

Golf equipment reviews say the most important advice for golfers is to change your golf grip often. Golf club grips tend to oxidize, harden, get slick, and lose their grip over time. Good buys are high quality golf grips that have greater than normal longevity, but not the absolute highest grip factor. This way, if you don’t re-grip when you are supposed to at least you will have good grips. But, they do recommend re-gripping often, as it will have a positive effect on your game.

Here are a few tips:

• The club head should be placed square to the target
• The club handle should be held in the fingers and palms in the left hand. A “V” formed by the left thumb and left index finger should point to the right shoulder.
• The handle of the club should be underneath the pad of the left hand so the wrists can hinge properly on the backswing
• The right hand grip should be in the fingers of the right hand, with the “V” pointing toward the right shoulder
• The grip should be firm enough to maintain control, yet soft enough to feel the clubhead
• Thumbs should stay off the top of the shaft

Golf club grips are the only communication a player has with their golf clubs. The more you learn, the better golfer you become.
