The ultimate grips for wet weather

Ah... the great British summer returned to our fairways this weekend, with rain ruining the fun and fortunes of our scorecards. Luckily for me I just happened to be testing a new grip called the G-Rip Rain Grip that really made a difference.

The G-Rip has a clever three layer construction that makes it feel tacky and soft on the surface yet firm to hold, helping you keep connected to the club without having to grip too tightly.

Best of all, the top layer has been specially formulated to repel water, and as I discovered yesterday, that means when you get caught out in a heavy downpour, your hands don't slip.

The grip's inventors tell me that it is also a solution for golfers who suffer with arthritis, tendonitis or similar medical conditions. That's because the G-Rip Rain has excellent vibration dampening properties, which when combined with a larger size, will help make the game more comfortable for anyone struggling to close their hands around a standard size grip.

The G-Rip Rain Grips are priced at £8 and can be purchased from www.brandfusionltd.co.uk or by phone on 01372 373 237.
