What experience has anyone had with Release Grips?
Release Grips are the new guys in the game, reinventing something that has been invented before. I don't know if Gripping Solutions (www.gripping.com) in the mid-late 1990s invented it first, but they sure came before Release.
Anyway, I tried them and can vouch for whoever said some like 'em and some don't. Here's something I wrote about them in 2001, a few years after I tried them...

The first reverse-taper grip I ever saw was from Gripping Solutions, so if someone else invented it I don't know about them. Gripping Solutions did make a very light grip. I shafted a driver with one of them. Here were my impressions: (1) Feels very different. It takes getting used to. (2) I don't think it helped me a lot, because my fault tends to be too much hands. With the reverse taper, a light grip (what I need to do) is a lot harder to do. I don't know whether it's psychological or real, but I keep feeling I need more grip pressure than with a conventional grip, because geometry isn't helping me hold the club against centrifugal force. (3) Some slicers can be helped (even turned into -- gasp! -- hookers) by enough buildup under the lower hand. The reverse-taper grip is the ultimate in this effect. And yes, I tended to fade this driver before I put on Gripping Solutions, and tended to draw it afterward. I know that isn't what you asked. But I've been watching lawyers and politicians lately and have learned, "If you don't know (or don't like) the question, answer something else." ;-> DaveT -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
