3. Grip



The grip consists of material added to the shaft to enable the player to obtain a firm hold. The grip must be fixed to the shaft, must be straight and plain in form, must extend to the end of the shaft and must not be molded for any part of the hands. If no material is added, that portion of the shaft designed to be held by the player must be considered the grip.



(i) For clubs other than putters the grip must be circular in cross-section, except that a continuous, straight, slightly raised rib may be incorporated along the full length of the grip, and a slightly indented spiral is permitted on a wrapped grip or a replica of one.



(ii) A putter grip may have a non-circular cross-section, provided the cross-section has no concavity, is symmetrical and remains generally similar throughout the length of the grip. (See Clause (v), below.)



(iii) The grip may be tapered but must not have any bulge or waist. Its cross-sectional dimensions measured in any direction must not exceed 1.75 inches (44.45 mm).



(iv) For clubs other than putters the axis of the grip must coincide with the axis of the shaft.



(v) A putter may have two grips, provided each is circular in cross-section, the axis of each coincides with the

axis of the shaft, and they are separated by at least

1.5 inches (38 mm).What is the difference between golf grips and "putter" grips?Putter grips are for putters and are shaped differently than grips for other clubs.
