Is there a benefit to switching to an oversized grip?
Oversize grips, once thought suitable only for those with large hands or arthritis, are now recognised as beneficial for various golfers, offering advantages such as increased grip surface area, reduced hand pressure, improved shock absorption, and enhanced alignment. These grips can promote a smoother swing, better shot consistency, and improved accuracy, although they may not suit all players, necessitating individual experimentation to find the best fit for one's swing characteristics and preferences.

What is Dynamic Loft, and How Can We Optimise It?
Dynamic loft in golf, determined by factors like swing technique and angle of attack, should ideally be around 70% of the club's static loft, adjusted based on swing speed and desired ball flight, crucial for shot trajectory and distance, but should be considered alongside spin rates, with adjustments possible through angle of attack and hand position, best analysed with guidance from PGA Professionals.

What Exactly Is Gear Effect?
Gear effect in golf involves the influence of a ball's flight path by the location of impact on the clubface, where off-center hits cause the clubhead to twist, resulting in spin that affects shot accuracy and distance, highlighting the importance of understanding and minimizing its impact, especially with faster clubhead speeds, as it can lead to unexpected ball flights regardless of club type.
