WHY #GRIPBAR
FINESSE YOUR SWING
The Grip Bar golf training glove helps ensure that the clubface is 90 degrees in relation to the target during contact, with correct preparation and hand placement.
UNIQUE AND TESTED
This design is unique and patented, meaning it is the only golf training glove of its kind available.
ALL AGES
This glove is ideal for all ages of players, for example junior players with weaker grips or players with joint issues.
The importance of grip
Grip is a fundamental aspect of golfing technique. However, acquiring the correct grip habit is a counterintuitive exercise. Initially the club feels most comfortable in the palm, and this produces an unstable grip, which can be compensated by gripping tighter and losing control of the swing, or it manifests in unreliable club face angle when the ball is addressed, leading to inconsistency overall.
You can tell when a palm grip is causing swing problems from the wear in the glove over time.
Our golf grip training aid reinforces good grip habits, and helps golfers achieve consistency, distance, and precision.
Helping to train a finger grip
Gripping the club where the fingers meet the hands gives a more secure and consistent grip, requiring less effort to hold the clubhead still on the downswing, resulting in greater distance and accuracy. The Grip Bar golf training glove helps users grip with the fingers and develop good swing habits overall.
HOW MY WORK AS A GOLF COACH LED TO THE GRIPBAR TRAINGING AID
One of the biggest mistakes I see on a daily basis and the most fundamental part of a golf swing is the grip. With my experience this is something that almost everyone gets wrong without knowing it's not correct, and this is endemic at all levels of the game.
HOLD
If you do not hold the club in the right portion of your hand, it can have devasting effects on your performance. Subject to you having a very strong technique and moving the right parts of the body at the right time, you will lose an awful lot of power and the ball will generally veer off to the right. Our golf grip training aid prevents users holding the club in the palm, and gives a guideline for the ideal grip line.
CLUBFACE
Above all, the clubface is the number one dictator of the direction of the golf ball and what directly influences that is your grip.
PLACEMENT
Another hugely important factor with holding the club in the correct place is without this you also cannot get enough wrist-set. Even after ensuring my clients are holding the club correctly, I notice daily great difficulty in retaining this key position of the hand and even after drawing on the glove, still an inability to keep the grip of the golf club where it should be. This is how Jan (my client) and I came to start our journey together.
THE RESULTS OF POOR GRIP
Above are examples of what happens to many golfers, as a result of the club slipping up into the palm of the hand and not under the bar on the glove. This wears a hole in the glove very early on from purchase. For these golfers our golf grip training aid will last longer than any standard glove sold on the market, as well as securing the grip, giving you the best chance of playing and enjoying your best golf possible.
ORTHOPAEDIC GOLFERS
Anyone with joint issues or arthritis will benefit immensely from feeling a more secure and confident hold on the golf club. By not having to grip the golf club too hard, it alleviates the strain on the hand, itself. Our golf grip training aid is ideal for players who finds themselves with weaker joints in their hand.
HOW THE GLOVE ENCOURAGES A GOOD GRIP
For our product to work to its full potential there are a few things that are very important to bear in mind.
- Ensure the clubhead is 90 degrees in relation to the target. Just because you are holding the club in the correct place, this will not govern the clubface itself being in the correct position before you start your golf swing.
- When gripping the club, you must have all your glove hand on the golf club. Leave at least 1cm from the end of the club for a normal set-up.
- Both thumbs should be past your index fingers when gripping the club, but in a relaxed manner, as this creates more stability in the swing.
- Placement of your glove hand is very important. The badge of your glove must point at the horizon somewhere between the target and the sky to give you the best chance of getting the clubface back to a square position, 90 degrees in relation to the target.
- There is a V-indicator put on the golf glove. You must make sure this V on your glove is pointing up to your trail shoulder. (for a right-handed golfer, the lead shoulder is your left shoulder (the shoulder that's closer to the target) trail shoulder obviously the right shoulder. One furthest from the target.
- Lastly, very important as this goes unnoticed a lot of the time. Ensure the grips themselves are the correct size for your hands for added stability and comfort.
GET TO KNOW 45 DEGREES NORTH
A little about the founder of 45 Degrees North
Like most teenagers James struggled early on in school to find what he was truly passionate about in life. Little did he know, his fate was waiting for him, just round the corner – golf! Suddenly the only test that mattered was mastering the perfect swing. Golf isn't just a game, it's a craft, a mindset, and for some, a lifeline. Certainly, in James's case it was a love affair that has lasted his lifetime so far and his passion for golf has never left.
Picking up a club at 14 years old, he quickly found his calling under the guidance of a PGA Golf Instructor. By 19 years old, he had turned professional and embarked on a journey to master both the game and the art of coaching. Now, with over 15 years of teaching experience, James has dedicated his career to helping golfers refine their technique and unlock their full potential.
How it all started
His passion for perfecting the fundamentals led to a breakthrough moment during a lesson with a client named Jan. She was struggling to secure her grip on the club and asked, “Is there anything out there that can help me hold the club better than this glove?” James knew that the right grip was essential for consistency and power, yet no glove on the market truly addressed the issue in a simple and effective way. So, the two of them set out to invent a golf training glove that no one will ever forget and created a solution to a problem that vast amounts of people face every day.
Why 45 Degrees?
Our name is inspired by a simple concept: the clubface being in the correct position in the swing, around 45 degrees at the top of the backswing. This can only take place if you hold the club in the correct position, put your hand up to the sky at eye level and you'll see a bar in the glove that is in the North portion of your hand. Club placement is imperative to having the clubface where you need it, to then get the desired outcome.
In short, the clubface is the biggest dictator of the direction of the ball. What directly influences the behaviour of the clubface? The placement of your grip on the club.
Quality in every swing
The golf training glove itself is made from a leather-synthetic cross. It's a soft material and this ensures feel and quality for the individual using the training aid are absolutely optimal. We have tested a multitude of different materials before arriving at the ideal combination. There is no compromise on the comfort and efficiency of the product.
