PGA Tour Grip Secrets: How to Choose the Right Golf Grip for More Control & Better Ball Striking

Choosing the right golf grip is one of the most underrated upgrades a golfer can make. Even though the grip is your only contact point with the club, it plays a huge role in control, accuracy and feel.

In our latest YouTube video, we break down everything from grip materials and models to grip size and why align grips have become so popular on the PGA tour, used by world number one Scottie Scheffler among others.

Many amateurs play grips that are worn out or the wrong size without realizing how much it affects their game. A grip that is too small can create an overactive release and more dispersion, while a grip that is too large can reduce hand action but take away feel.

In the video, we explain how to find the right balance and how different textures and patterns influence stability throughout the swing.

The innovation that has made the biggest impact on tour is align technology – a raised ridge on the back of the grip that helps you hold the club consistently and square the clubface at impact.

This is one of the main reasons more tour players than ever are choosing align grips, and why the same technology can give amateurs significantly better face control.

We also break down the most common mistakes golfers make when choosing grips: replacing them too rarely, choosing “what feels good in the hand” rather than what works with their swing, or playing grips that have lost their structure and traction.

With the right grip, you gain a more stable swing, better precision and a more predictable ball flight.
