Your golf grip is the only connection you have with your golf club. With hundreds of grips on the market to choose from, there is a significant variation in performance from one grip to the next. As Golf Pride’s Global Head of Engineering Greg Cavill says, “Golf grips are no longer just a handle on the club.” I spoke with Cavill about the signs that suggest you’re playing the wrong grip and what to do if you are.

Slipping at impact or during transition

If you feel the club twisting in your hands during the downswing or slipping during transition, your grip likely lacks the right tack, size and/or texture. Slipping at impact isn’t just about wear. It’s about matching grip material, size and firmness to your swing.

Tour-level players with higher swing speeds often prefer firmer grips for better control. If you swing fast and play a soft grip, it may be working against you. In addition, your hands may be too big for your current grip. Slipping at impact is a red flag that your grip is too small.

Abnormal grip wear or abrasion

Check your grips. Do you see uneven wear, especially in spots your hands wouldn’t normally contact during a proper swing? That’s a red flag.

According to Cavill, abnormal abrasion is often caused by golfers compensating for a poor fit, twisting, over-gripping or adjusting during setup and throughout the swing. When a grip doesn’t fit your hands properly, you’re more likely to wear it down faster which means replacing it sooner than you should.

Your golf backswing sets the stage for everything that follows. You’ll hear lots of advice about plane, path, length and more when working on the backswing. Yet there’s one key element many golfers overlook: the role of the knees, specifically the flex in your right knee. Ignoring this crucial detail can severely limit your swing’s effectiveness and consistency.

The Problem: Keeping your right knee too flexed

A common misconception is that your knees should stay in the same position during your backswing. While stability is essential, completely restricting knee movement does more harm than good.

Proper knee flex increases your upper body rotation, allows your hips to tilt and even decreases the risk of injury.

Benefits of allowing your right knee to change flex

When you set up to hit a golf ball, you’ll have some flex in the right knee (for right-handed players). However, as you swing back, you should lose a little of that flex and straighten the right knee slightly. Here’s why:

Increases your shoulder turn

Try turning your shoulders without using your knees or hips. You’ll quickly find your rotation is severely limited (around 20-30 degrees).

It’s another major week. That means it’s a big week for gamblers.

If you followed my betting advice from the Masters, you would have been happy. Two of my three prop bets hit and I had a great chance at the third one (winning margin by three strokes) until Rory McIlroy made some brain farts on the back nine, overcoming those errors to win a green jacket.

At this week’s PGA Championship, we are going right to five bets I love. Below that, I’ll share the odds sheet as it stands right now (as always, keep in mind that these odds change).

I’m using ESPNBet for these odds but you will find similar offerings elsewhere.

Happy gambling to all those who partake.

Forget the limited headcovers and fancy apparel.

No one has knocked the PGA Championship gear out of the park this year like Bridgestone with their new “The Quails” limited edition kit. It’s freaking genius because of its unexpected and fun concept!

The concept? They invented this fictional minor league baseball team called The Quails that’s supposedly been dominating baseball since 1935 out of southern North Carolina. The most successful minor league team in history. (Never existed, but that’s the point, people!)

The limited-edition kit comes with:

A dozen custom logoed golf balls in this Quail egg-inspired carton (so clever)An official New Era cap with The Quails logo (subtle flex, I know)A sealed pack of trading cards with a custom ball markerAnd here’s the kicker – you might pull one of only 20 Gold Edition Grand Slam cards autographed by Jason Day himself

The quail is perhaps one of the quirkiest birds on the planet. Don’t get me started on that little “sack” hanging off of its head … I don’t have to say it out loud, do I?

Congrats! You’re probably here by accident … but that’s okay.

While I have you, I must know. Do you know what a takedown is?

It’s a word often thrown around in the sneaker world (more specifically, basketball shoes). But it’s very, very applicable to golf.

And before you click away, let me dangle the carrot a bit. Takedowns are taking over … and that’s good news for your wallet AND your game.

Let me explain.

Are you the kind of golfer who likes to add some color to your wardrobe? Maybe some wild prints and designs? Heck, maybe you want to be reminded of a time in years past. If this sounds like you, check out the polos below. From bold, crazy designs to graphics inspired by mythical creatures, we tried to find a shirt to cater to the loud ones who stand out in the crowd.

Sunday Swagger Ventura

Known for bold styles and bright colors, Sunday Swagger belongs front and center on this list and the Ventura polo brings the heat. This polo brings vibrance and energy to the course and I love it. Big on personality with a mix of West Coast swagger, this polo favors the bold who are out to have a good time. When you factor in Sunday’s performance material and comfort, this one is a win-win.

Pins & Aces Big Ace Fuchsia Polo

Channel the vibes of Sin City during your next round with this bright and bold polo from Pins & Aces. The Big Ace features prints highlighting the high-rolling stakes of Vegas with dice, cards and slots. Let your buddies know from the moment you step onto the first tee that there’s money on the line – and you’re there to win.

Tipsy Elves Bigfoot Bogey Polo

Ever hit a ball into the woods and you know, and I mean KNOW, exactly where it went in – only to find it has vanished? There’s a ‘squatch in these woods and he’s on the hunt for lost golf balls. Believers know he’s out there, waiting for you to send that Pro V1 his way. Have a little fun and pay homage to the mythical legend of the woods during your next round with this polo.

Bad Birdie The Stuff of Legend polo

When I think of bold styles, Bad Birdie always comes to mind. The Stuff of Legend polo exemplifies the moments that live on forever in our minds from a buddies weekend – crazy cart adventures, pontoon cruises at sunset after the mid-afternoon tee time and consuming more adult beverages than we probably should. Come for the golf, leave with the memories.
