RIPIT Golf Grips
- Express Yourself
By David Theoret
Golf grips are often overlooked and taken for granted. Although they are your only connecting point to the golf club, we let these black pieces of textured rubber get dirty, worn down, cut up, and abused. No one seems to change them as often as they should.
One way to pay more attention to your grips is to replace what you're currently using with something more easily noticed. That's where RIPIT Grips come in.
RIPIT caters to the new generation of golfers who don't mind being noticed. They may be wearing flashy - not trashy - golf apparel, footwear, colorful golf gloves, or sporting a vibrantly colored golf bag. Or all of the above. What they tout means a lot, hopefully, they've got the game to back it up! Think of it like the passion of teeing off last in a major on Sunday meets the remnants of a wild Saturday night!
RIPIT grips are designed in Australia and are designed to outperform other grips and will help you play your best. They are made of multi-compound rubber, giving them a great feel with just the right amount of tack and a relaxed taper from the butt end to the bottom of the grip. They may feel a little firmer than the grips you currently use, but it takes only a few swings to get comfortable with them. The deep grooves come in handy in wet weather.
RIPITs come in over 18 designs - another eight for putters - and can be purchased as a single grip or in a package of different designs. Most grips are available in a multitude of colors. With names like The Squiggle, Pin-Up Hunting, and Sparkling Snake, your toughest decision might be which design to choose. At $18.50 for a single grip, many players will find RIPIT Grips a little on the pricey side.
It's a fact that the grip is your only connection to the golf club, which serves as an extension of your body. Now you can connect that bright red golf glove to a grip as bold as you are. For more information or to order a set of RIPIT grips, visit their website at www.ripitgrips.com.

About: David Theoret
David Theoret has been in the golf and golf travel industry for over 10 years, primarily selling online advertising. For the past seven years, he has also been a golf writer, reviewing golf courses, resorts, destinations, equipment, golf apparel, and training aids - the latter of which never seems to help. David's articles and reviews have been posted on many golf travel and equipment websites.
Growing up in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, it was naturally assumed he would play hockey. Beginning at the age of 3 and continuing into his late 30's, he did just that. However, after one too many pucks to the head, he realized that golf was a lot easier on the body (whoever said hockey players were slow) and took the game up.
After moving to Florida and accepting a position with TravelGolf Media (now part of GolfNow) his love for the game grew exponentially. Most Saturdays you will find him on a course somewhere in Florida or on the practice range reinforcing his bad habits. David plays to a 10 handicap - unless there is money involved in which case it goes considerably higher. He currently resides in Lakeland, FL with his wife Belinda and their two "kids", Madyson and Molly.
