Since your hands are the only thing that comes in contact with the golf club, the club's grip is vital. It helps set up the swing, and if the grip is wrong for you, imperfect shots can result even if your swing is perfect. Finding a durable and effective grip lays the foundation for a consistent golf swing. If you have small hands, a standard grip is the way to go. Oversized grips are too large and won't give you secure contact with the club. This can cause the club face to stay open on your downswing, making your shot go straight right (for right-handed golfers).
Golf Pride New Decade MultiCompound
This grip, which came out in 2010, features a combination of rubber and cord to give a combination of comfort and tackiness. The top half of the grip is a tour velvet, providing all-weather control for the gloved hand. The bottom half is composed of a yellow rubber that provides a soft feel for the bare hand. This grip is used by many PGA professionals, including Phil Mickelson, according to Golfgrip.com.
Black Widow Signature
A shoe company deciding to go into the golf grip business may seem odd, but Softspike's Black Widow line has been regarded as a top grip for 2010. The signature grip features a combination of soft and firm rubbers, making it softer in the finger area and harder in others and extremely responsive to feel. It has a very unique look, with the ribbed parts looking like spider web.
Tiger Shark Pressure Zone
The Pressure Zone grip is designed to decrease the amount of pressure you put on the club with your dominant (bottom) hand, helping to create straighter and longer shots. The moisture-resistant bottom half aids in all-weather play, increasing tackiness even in the worst conditions.
