Types of Golf Grips

In the past, rubber grips were the norm when it came to golf club grips, but in recent years, various grips have appeared, including resin and composite grips. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, so by understanding their functions and choosing the grip that best suits you, improving your score is no longer a dream!

Its strong elasticity makes it easy to customize the grip by wrapping the double-sided tape inside it multiple times to make it thicker. It can be said to be the current standard for grips in terms of softness, durability, and price.

The core is made of rubber and the outside is wrapped in synthetic leather, giving it excellent shock absorption. On the other hand, it is less customizable, requiring multiple layers of double-sided tape to make it thicker, and is somewhat more expensive due to the use of multiple materials.

Although its flexibility is slightly less than that of rubber, the hardness of the resin itself can be freely adjusted, making it possible to achieve softness, bite, and grip strength greater than that of rubber. However, its durability is slightly inferior to that of rubber, and it is slightly more expensive.

How to Choose a Golf Grip

materialThe fit will vary depending on the softness of the grip itself.
ThicknessIf you are prioritizing direction, we recommend a thicker club, and if you are prioritizing ball grip, we recommend a thinner club.
WeightIf you prioritize distance, we recommend a lighter shaft, and if you prioritize maneuverability, we recommend a heavier shaft.
BacklineIf you want to make it easier to check the direction of the face, we recommend a club with a back line.
colorWith a wide range of colors, you can change the color depending on the club number and enjoy fashion.
