Golf Grip Trainer
It puts your hands in one place, and keeps putting them there
This is a molded rubber golf grip with a sculpted thumb rest and a row of finger ridges built into it. Your hands do not choose where to sit — the shapes decide, and they decide the same way every single time you pick the club up.
That is the whole idea. A grip you have to think about is a grip you will hold three slightly different ways in one session. This one gives you a fixed reference to practice against.
Read this first
It is molded for a right-handed golfer
A thumb rest and a set of finger channels can only be shaped for one set of hands. They are not mirror-neutral, and no single molding can serve both directions.
The grip we stock is the right-handed molding. If you play left-handed, this one will fight you rather than help you, and you should not buy it. Left-handed versions of this style of grip do exist — from us, this is not one of them.
We would rather lose the order than have you open the box and find the shapes running the wrong way.
What you are actually buying
A replacement grip, not a sleeve that slips over one
This matters more than anything else on the page, because it changes what happens when the parcel arrives.
It is a full golf grip: a hollow rubber tube, open and tapered at one end, closed at the other by a flat cap with the small vent hole every real grip has. It goes on a bare shaft, in place of the grip that is on there now.
It is not a trainer that clips or slides over your existing grip, and it will not fit over one. To put it on you strip the old grip off, lay fresh double-sided grip tape, wet it through with grip solvent and slide this one down while it is still slippery — or you hand the club and the grip to a clubfitter and they do it in a couple of minutes.
The grip is what ships. The tape, the solvent, the hook blade and the club are yours to bring.
Where you can use it
Practice club, not tournament club
Under the Rules of Golf a grip must not be molded for any part of the hands. The USGA names a training grip as the clearest example of a grip that breaks that rule, so a club carrying one is non-conforming.
In practical terms: hit as many balls as you like with it on the range, in the garden, in a lesson, on a casual round with friends who do not care. Take it off before you play in a club competition or anything where a score is being posted — turning up with a non-conforming club is a problem you do not want to discover on the first tee.
Plenty of listings for this kind of grip do not mention that at all. It is a two-minute job to swap a grip back, and knowing beats finding out.
In the hand
What the shapes do
The wide end is smooth and round, so the upper hand sits where it would on any grip. Below it the rubber swells into the thumb rest, with a thin white stripe painted along it as a visual line to set the club against. Below that the finger ridges run down the underside.
The tapered end is finished with a band of raised white rings, which is where the lower hand meets the shaft.
Beginners tend to use it to stop the grip drifting between shots. Established players tend to keep one club set up with it and hit a few balls before a round. Neither is more correct than the other.
Specifications
The numbers
Length, cap diameter and weight are taken from the supplier drawing. The core size is the supplier's own figure and we have not measured a unit against a shaft, so if your shafts are anything other than a standard men's butt diameter, check before you order or let a clubfitter size it. No durability rating, no grip-pressure figure and no scoring outcome is published for this grip, so this page does not state any of them.
One position, every time you pick it up
Fit it to a practice club, groove the hold, swap it back before the card comes out.
