Butch Harmon Right Grip Gloves

If you take a lesson from any golf pro, the very first thing he'll tell you is "Let me see your grip." There's a reason for this; the grip is the very foundation of the golf swing. It's the only point where the golfer's body actually comes in contact with the club, so it's imperative that it be done correctly for a proper swing. The problem is, without paying a pro how can you be certain that you're not gripping too tight, or too loose, or your hands are in the right position, or the club isn't too far up into your palm, or the million other ways that you can screw up a good grip? Well, Butch Harmon, world-renowned instructor to the pros, has you covered with his revolutionary Right Grip gloves.

The idea behind the Butch Harmon Right Grip gloves is that it uses "Soft Bar Technology" to give the golfer the perfect grip. Equipped with a padded bar in both palms, the Right Grip gloves don't allow the club to rest too far up into the palms (a common fault with most handicap players). They also don't let you grip the club too tight, which is often the cause of off-plane swings and poor ball altitude. And by incorporating the Right Grip gloves in your practice routine, you develop muscle memory so that you instinctively grip the club perfectly without them.

Soft Bar Technology

Sounds great, but do they work? Yes, and pretty well I might add. We had the chance to review a large pair for right-handed golfers. The fit was good and the material easy and comfortable to work in. True to the claim, the club falls right into the cradle of the fingers. And the soft bar really lets you know if you grip too tightly (which I do). Amazingly, after a few practice swings I was getting straighter, truer ball flights. The real surprise for me was the distance; it's very counterintuitive that a softer grip could equal a longer ball, but there it was. The great thing about the Butch Harmon Right Grip gloves is that they provide instant feedback. You can feel immediately what you are doing right and wrong and can correct it on the spot.

Bottom line is that if you are looking for an effective way to train your hands to apply the perfect grip, then the Butch Harmon Right Grip gloves are definitely the way to go. They also make the perfect gift for the golf enthusiast in your life. Available in a multitude of sizes, (XS, S, M, M/L, L and XL) for about fifty bucks you can order a pair online from RightGrip.com.
