A golf club consists of a grip, a shaft and a clubhead but it’s the last two that are crucially important. However, don’t overlook the grip as it’s the only part of you attached to the club throughout the swing. It needs to offer good adhesion and be the right size. In addition to the rubberised or synthetic material that you feel, it will have a layer of tape underneath. If you have long fingers, you might want to get an extra one or two layers, to ensure that the club fits snugly in your hands. Your club pro or fitting centre should be able to help with advice.
