Grip size

A friend of mine has a handicap index of 1.3.  I have personally seen him hit it 370 yds on the fly…uphill.  When I first shook his hand, mine got lost in his.  We are talking 12-inch spans here!  Then I grabbed his seven iron.  Nice shaft and head, but dinky standard grip.  I said “Patrick, let me re grip your seven-iron and see how you like it.”  His thumb pads had little dents where his fingertips had been pressing into them.  When I gave it back to him, he took me aside: “How soon can you re-grip every club in my bag, including the putter with one of those Shark grips???”  Well, I got it done pretty quickly and he’s very happy.

Stop in at Clarke-Stephens or King of Clubs or your favorite retailer or pro shop and be sure your grips are the right size before having them replaced.  You will have more control and comfort, for sure!
