Maintaining Your Grips

Not getting the most from your game even though you practice, take lessons and play more than average. Maybe it's time to take a look at your equipment.
The only place where your hands touch the club is the grip. By making sure your grips are new and that they match your hand size, your game can improve. Regardless of how consistent your swing is, if your equipment is not equally as consistent your scores could suffer.
Grip size plays an important role in making sure a player's hands maintain consistent contact with the club throughout the swing. Many players do not realize that grips are available in different sizes.
If you play with grips that are too large or too small, there is a chance that your hand position on the club will change somewhere during the swing. Any time hand position changes on the club, there is increased likelihood that the clubface will be returned to impact in an open or a closed position, leading to errant shots.
In much the same way that improper size leads to hands slipping on the club, grips that are worn or slick do the same thing. Maintaining grips by washing them often and having them replaced at least once a year improves consistent hand position and will almost surely help lower your scores.
Grip replacement is quick, easy and very affordable. If you haven't had your grips replaced [or sized] in the past year, there is no better time than the present to make your clubs feel new and to improve their performance at the same time.
