Selecting Grips

Choosing the correct grip type and size will give you confidence standing over the ball and can have an influence on shot direction.

More than any other aspect in the fitting process, the choice of which grip to pick is a matter of personal preference. The GigGolf standard is the GigaGolf GX multi-compound velvet style grip. It is the most popular style used by today's major golf club manufacturers.

Some golfers prefer the soft feel of the original Winn grip. Players that need shock absorption due to a physical condition such as arthritis may benefit from Winn Grips. Additionally, some grip manufacturers like Golf Pride make models with grip alignment aids that remind you where to put your hands on the club. Most importantly, do not be afraid to make a mistake, grips are easy to change.

Selecting the Correct Grip Size

The eFit system grip tool will recommend grip size based on two measurements of your hand. The recommendation will be one of 5 grip sizes. Do not be afraid to use your own personal preference to adjust the size recommendation. More than any other component, grips are about personal feel.

The correct grip size will feel more comfortable and it can have an effect on your shot pattern.

Grip Size and Ball Flight

To a small degree, grip size can be used to tailor your ball flight. Smaller grips promote hand action in the swing, which generally results in a left ball flight for right-handed golfers. Larger grips restrict hand action and have the opposite effect on ball flight.

So if you want help with your slice you may want to step down one size from the GigaGolf eFit recommendation. Keep in mind; the grip size effect is slight in comparison to other fitting specifications such as club lie. Also, smaller grip size may help a slice but it will not cure a strong over the top move on your down swing.
