Enlow Grips Helped The Pain In My Hands

Sir: Two and a half years ago I gave up golf because of arthritis in my hands which would not permit me to close my fingers to make a fist. My club pro has tried many different ways to enlarge my golf grips, but with no success. Then he found Enlow Grips at a Florida trade show this past winter. I have fount these grips to be just what the doctor ordered. These grips are softer, very comfortable, and reduce the shock to my hands from ground contact. Next day stiffness and pain are reduced appreciably. I am excited again to get back to the game, even at the age of 78. Sincerely, Walter S. Nied

Half Swings Can Help

I have your grips applied to my irons and woods. Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to the driving range. That one trip to the range was as encouraging as any range session or round of golf that I have played. Keep in mind that this was the first time I had swung a club since last fall. After working out several tweaks (and kinks) I found a pretty comfortable groove and was consistently hitting solid shots. Recalling your suggestion to go halfway on my backswing and follow through I felt good. Truth be told, I disregarded your advice when I pulled out my driver, though. I had to swing away! But even this quasi-Neanderthal approach was successful. I consistently hit good tee shots (for me, anyway) that all had good air with a slight fade from left to right. In short, I'm thrilled with the results so far! I have never been a big hitter. My game is about keeping the ball in play and trying to stay out of trouble. As a result, birdies are pretty rare, pars scarce and bogies generally the norm. And I'm fine with that. Like we discussed, it's about having fun, a few malt beverages and some fresh air. You realize, of course, that your grips are going to add a new level of pressure to my life. Golfers who previously couldn't have cared less about me or my golf game will now be watching my swing, asking questions, wanting information and will be seeking the truth of the "golf grail" I have found. I can only hope I will be up to the challenge.

Better Golf Game

I just had to write to tell you how much I love my new Enlow grips. I have tried so many other grips but they did not give me the control and feel that yours do. There was zero acclimation time with them. I put them on and instantly they just felt right…felt GREAT! I noticed that there is an added benefit to these grips; “Counter Balancing”. If you don’t know what it is, just Google it and find out how it helps your swing speed, ball flight and control. It also cost a lot of money to have it done, or you can do it yourself for about $100.00. Well, with your grips there is no need to spend that extra money because it is built into your grips…did I mention how much I love these grips! I swing with a single plane swing (Symple Swing) and I highly recommend these grips for this method although the method does not require different clubs or grips, I must admit that your grips help with my hand position. Thanks again for making the best grip in the world! Mike Sposato - Elgin, IL

Tried Enlow Grips On My Wedges

What can I say? At the Anaheim Golf Expo you told me to put the grips on my wedges and I would see an immediate results in my short game and you, my friend, were not wrong. After only one practice session I was so impressed with the results that I put them on all of my clubs. A friend of mine was so impressed that he put them on his clubs the day before the pre-qualifier for the Mitsubishi Open tournament. Now that they have seen the improvement in my game two other members are going to use them. It is definitely having that snowball effect and all I can say is that I'm glad I'm one of the first to have them. Thank you so much for challenging me to improve my game. -- George Boyer

Golfing With Arthritis

Perfectly manicured fairways, a bright blue sky, a slight breeze that lifts your golf ball toward the green - golfing is a leisure activity enjoyed by many but for people living with arthritis, even trying to hit the ball poses a challenge. The Arthritis Society offers a few simple tips to overcome the frustrations and limitations imposed by arthritis when you’re on the golf links. As with any activity, be sure to consult your doctor or physiotherapist for any precautions you should take. Use clubs with lightweight graphite shafts to help absorb the shock better. Build up the grip size on your clubs with tape to help you hold them more easily. Always stretch and warm up properly before you play. Always use tees to avoid striking the ground and jarring your joints. Use a softer ball with a higher spin rate. Wear comfortable walking shoes or golf shoes without spikes. You may also want to wear cushioning in your shoes. Take only the clubs you will use and pull your clubs, don’t carry them. Golfing is an adaptable activity that increases your strength, mobility and range of motion. It also improves your balance and coordination and helps you maintain a healthy weight. Each spring, The Arthritis Society holds Golfing with Arthritis workshops throughout the province to help educate people living with arthritis on how they can enjoy this popular leisure activity without putting additional stress on their joints. Topics include learning about: What arthritis is and some of the difficulties it presents when you are playing golf. What the benefits of golfing are for people living with arthritis. How to properly warm up and prepare for your game. What the common golf-related injuries are and how you can prevent them. How to make adaptations in your swing to make golfing safer and more comfortable for you. How to modify your equipment for ease of use. To find out more about upcoming Golfing with Arthritis workshops in your community, or to get further information about arthritis, please call The Arthritis Answers Line toll free at 1.800.321.1433, or visit the society’s website at www.arthritis.ca.

Balance Restored

Thank you so much for the grips. I had to have one-third of my big toe removed. The grips have helped with my swing change. The help with my balance in the swing. I've only been able to play six or seven rounds with the grips. The average score for seven rounds has been 86. I am looking forward to better scores with the Enlow Grips.

Confidence Restored

Brad, I wrote you about a month or so ago telling you about how i found your grip in a friends golf shop and expanded the grips to all my clubs. Now after putting in practice and adjusting my poor grip to a better grip due to the enlows i entered my first senior tournament in Beatrice NE last week and won with ease. i have played in the event last year and struggled due to not knowing where the shot was going and lost of confidence in my overall shot making, which was haunting me for most of last year. On the first tee my playing parnters hit their drivers and I use my 2I hybrid and striped it down the middle to start my day, it was 2 rounds of golf that didn't fill like a tournament, as no matter what club i pulled from my bag, it was easy to swing and spot on with accuracy. I have the Nebraska Senior coming up at the end of the month and gearing up for that. My overall goal is to get my handicap back down to that 1-2 area and i feel i'm on track. Much thanks for a great game improvement product that works. EnlowGrips Bill Lawson

Arthritic Thumbs

I'm 73, and my thumbs are all but worn out due to arthritis.  In a consultation with my orthopaedic doctor in Nashville, he gave me two choices-- surgery, which I don't want to pursue, or injections of cortisone. He also told me that since I was a golfer I should find a way to take the stress from the base of my thumbs. Gripping the club with a standard grip extends the thumbs down the shaft, putting extra pressure on them. I had to discover another way to relieve the thumb pressure.. In my search I came across Enlow Grips and gave them a try.  My thumbs feel great and I now look forward to playing golf for many years to come. Check out this site.Enlow Grips
