With the PGA Merchandise Show going on this week -- and Morning Drive broadcasting from it -- you'll likely see some of the grips covered in this Golf Digest post. But I wanted to call your attention to this one because I think it's a really neat idea.
This is Golf Pride's new Tour SNSR tender grip. It comes in sizes and it is S-O-F-T, as in squishy sufficient that your arms will sink into it if you squeeze too hard. If you see your fingers sinking in, you know to relax your grip. Imagine that -- a way to without a doubt SEE that your grip is simply too tight! That's just super, and it is a easy manner to learn how to hold your arms relaxed all through your putting stroke.
The put up lists a few different cool grips, like SuperStroke making counterbalancing an option on all their grips and SwitchGrips creating a grip you could trade on your own without having to fuss with grip solvents and such. But that Golf Pride grip genuinely stuck my eye.
And for those of you who are curious about what kind of grip I use, you may be shocked. I don't use a regular putter grip at all! I use a Lamkin velvet round grip -- like the ones you put on all your clubs -- except I use the Jumbo size. I don't like the ridges on a regular putter grip because on some days I want to hold my putter with my hands in a slightly different position, and those ridges irritate me when I do. It's like a little voice saying "you're holding it wrong, you're holding it wrong" over and over and over while I'm trying to putt.
To every his own. And I'm happy that producers are giving players more options this year.
