Improve Your Distance With Lighter Golf Grips?
We have started a new season of golf and the golf manufacturers are doing everything possible to their equipment to give us more distance. In fact a major golf grip manufacturer has introduced a new golf grip that is significantly lighter than normal grips. The manufacturer states they “reduced grip weight to increase club swing speed and generate greater distance and accuracy”. Sounds good but will lighter golf grips help the average golfer?
