Hit the ball exactly as you intend
The human sense of touch is incredibly delicate and sensitive. If you can't feel the club's moment of inertia with your own senses, you'll never be able to control the ball like an advanced player, no matter how much time you spend practicing.
'elite grips' believes that controlling the moment of inertia involves not only the club's center of gravity but also the point of contact between the human body and the tool — the grip.
The role of the grip
A golf club is primarily made up of three components: the head, shaft, and grip.
For accurate and stable shots, the seamless integration of these three components is crucial. While the head and shaft have experienced significant advancements in cutting-edge technology and materials, the development of the grip has not received the same level of focused attention.
We believe that the grip plays a role beyond that of the head and shaft. With this in mind, we meticulously focused on key factors such as ease of grip, balance, and materials, dedicating ourselves to research, development, and design.
The structure of the grip
The tip of the elite grip is designed with a soft structure to align with the movement of the shaft, while the handle is slightly firmer to ensure the transfer of torque balance.
Additionally, 'elite grips' are characterized by a distinct separation between the top and bottom, as well as the left and right. Designed for a better fit, the grip allows the palm to closely adhere to the grip at the point where torque balance is transmitted, making it easier to hold.
The center of gravity of the grip
After careful consideration of how to achieve the ideal balance in a grip, we concluded that the position of the grip's center of gravity is crucial. To increase head speed (the hammer effect) and enhance the grip's responsiveness, we made the end of the grip heavier, allowing for better transmission of force and making it more effective.
'elite grips' are not magic.
'elite grips' are high-tech grips developed based on scientific, academic, and ergonomic principles.
NEW MATERIAL
New material developed for 'elite grips', resistant to sweat and water
Speed at which water is absorbed or wiped away
Rubber, which has been the standard material for grips, poses a problem with torque, or twisting. The solution to this issue was the development of synthetic rubber derived from resin. Until 2009, this material was the dominant choice in the market, but even then, it did not achieve the ideal results.
To address this, 'elite grips' developed a new material, "No. NK510 Special Synthetic Rubber," which is resistant to twisting and achieves optimal torque balance.
The secret of No. NK510 Special Synthetic Rubber
The No. NK510 Special Synthetic Rubber material contains "Shikari" as a component.
"Shikari" is a material commonly used in racing tires and snow tires, but it is also a safe component used in cosmetics, such as foundation, to reduce the greasy feel of oils.
Not only is it highly durable, but it also excels in water resistance, making it slip-resistant even in the rain. Additionally, it has the ability to absorb oils.
Adheres to fingerprints
In addition to the overall texture of the grip, 'elite grips' creates protrusions of approximately 0.03 - 0.06mm in height, with a tolerance of 1/1000, thanks to its unique special synthetic rubber material.
The protrusions on the surface of the grip catch the ridges of the fingers' fingerprints, allowing the grip to "cling" to them. This maximizes traction and provides an excellent slip-resistant grip.
