What effect will lighter grips have on my swing?

I'm having difficulties in feeling where the club head is during my swing. So far the only solution has been to slow down my swing incredibly and I am losing a lot of distance from it (about 30 yards). Currently my grips weigh 55 grams and I was thinking of switching to the new Winn light grips which weigh 25 grams. I have never hit with such a light grip and don't know how much of an effect that the swing weight change will have on distance and accuracy.What effect will lighter grips have on my swing?Ok...here is the REAL DEAL! Light grips, increase swingweight by up to 6 swingweights. Yes...it does give you a better feel of where the clubhead is. For a golfer that grew up in the 70's, these work quite nicely, as, the old clubs were %26quot;headheavy%26quot;. I use 39 gram grips...Golf Pride Durometer Lite's, blue cap. You can find them on EBAY. It's a much better alternative than the Winn, as, the Winn, is a bit too light. Winn, also, have a 42 gram grip. By using a lighter grip...you reduce the weight of the whole club by 14 to 28 grams...bearly noticeable.



This is a great idea, you have, as without scarring the clubhead...or moving the sweet spot closer to the hosel, by stuffing lead down the shaft...you'll never be able to get the same effect!



You should be getting 10 points, for such a good question!What effect will lighter grips have on my swing?It will make almost no effect. I would suggest against it as the Winn Lights would just be less durable, and would not have much of an effect on swing speed and feel. As far as getting more feeling that will only come from hitting balls and develop a sense of feel for yourself.



The distance and accuracy are pure skill and have nothing to do with your grips.



If you want new grips go with Tour velvets or lamkin crosslines or something along those lines. Notice that no tour players use all the 'cool' and trendy grips. There is relatively little technology in a golf grip, keep it that way.What effect will lighter grips have on my swing?yeah i agree with the other yahoo awnserer,

the grip wont change much, if anything it will act like adding extra grips to a cricket bat will work, i know this because i represented county at cricket for the main XI, anyway, i got told if you were to put a heavier grip on a golf club, the head will just feel heavier, i dont know if you feel like that will help? I would presume u would finding getting under the ball easier though.



No harm in trying though is there? :)What effect will lighter grips have on my swing?It won't make that much of a difference. I suggest working on keeping your head steady throughout your swing because if you move your head you will have a harder time watching the club head thus producing more off center hits. 30g is a really small amount when talking about the overall weight of your club so there won't be much improvement. My only advice is to spend a good deal of time on the driving range.What effect will lighter grips have on my swing?If you are slowing down your swing to help feel the club head more, yes buy lighter grips. The lighter grips allow you to feel the club head more during the swing and they also promote a faster swing speed. If those are your two problems, get lighter grips!What effect will lighter grips have on my swing?Are you always keeping your head steady? If not it makes it incredibly difficult to track the club head through your swing. If you want light grips thats cool but I doubt that it will change your ability to track the club head.
