Grip, Grasp, and Ground

Check your grip, your gloves, and your spikes for wear. You’ll see – and feel – the results immediately.

Golfers rely on their equipment, and in no other sport is precision as important as in golf. An eight of an inch here or a quarter of an inch there, and you’re hitting three from the tee.

Why then do so many golfers neglect these three areas:

  • Grip
  • Glove
  • Spikes

These three things affect your grip and grasp of the club and the ground. If your grip is worn down, you won’t have a solid grasp of the club. The same holds true of gloves – and I’ve seen some ratty looking gloves. Worn down cleats? You can’t get a firm grasp of the only stationary object in the golf swing: the earth.

Check your grip, your gloves, and your spikes for wear. Replacing any of them is fairly inexpensive, and well worth the cost. You’ll see – and feel – the results immediately.

  1. When I first started playing I wore golf shoes with metal spikes but then all the courses here put the no metal spike rule in place. I don’t think the plastic spikes give as much traction as the metal spikes.
