Golf Grips are the only connection that your hands (and thus the rest of your body) have to the golf club. Therefore it is also a very important part of the club. If the golf grip is to small, there is a tenancy of the club twisting towards the target just before impact and thus causing the club face to be closed. This happens when the golfer unconsciously grips harder just before impact resulting in the twist.

A golf grip that is too big for your hand, will tend to break loose at an off center impact thus causing the club face to be open. House of Golf will size the golf grip correctly for you . Based on the glove size you wear, we know how big your hand is and can make the grips larger or smaller, as necessary.

How do we do this? Golf Grips are put onto the shaft using grip tape, a tape similar to masking tape. By adding or subtracting layers of tape, we can build up the golf grip in 1/32-inch increments to fit your hand size. When you place your left hand upon the club and the ring and middle finger meet the pad of the thumb, you'll know that your golf grip is properly sized. Having the right size golf grip is key to good performance.
