‘Counter-Balancing’ Grip Cap with its '
Classic Scottish Heraldry Design
' will actually maximize the playing performance of your vintage hickory play clubs. Hand cast in a solid bronze alloy, our classic Turn-of-the-Century Grip Caps will protect the leather grip ends of your vintage Hickory play clubs and will add the ‘period flourish’ that would have adorned a proper English gentleman’s play set.
Our classic, hand-cast 'Counter-Balance' grip cap increases the performance of your Hickory clubs
.
Each solid bronze grip cap adds 26 grams to the butt-end and raises the balance-point of your hickory club by redistributing the weight up the shaft, which gives you more control with better accuracy and increased swing-speed of 2-4 MPH for longer carry distance. This counter-weight & counter-balancing improves and maintains the club’s ‘on-center’ face angle at impact by 100% which prevents the club head from twisting for a steadier, solid stroke that will consistently give
you a more confident feel with your woods and irons. And, for your putter, it helps you to hit your mark every time.

Grip Cap measures 1/2" (12.7mm)
high
and
7/8
"
(22mm) in diameter.
This cap diameter was designed to be several mm larger than the 17, 18, 19 & 20 mm shaft diameters so that the leather grips can be made to appear flush with the cap diameter by building up the under-listing or layer of friction tape around the shaft, depending upon your shaft diameter and the thickness of your leather wrap grip.
Old world design with today’s technology know-how
Counter-Weighting & Counter-Balancing was a golf club improvement technique evidently known by a few old-timers, but was not readily shared among the larger golfing community because of its competitive advantage. I happened to discover this interesting fact while in the process of restoring an old hickory putter where some old-timer had drilled a 1/4

hole
about 3/4" deep
in the butt-end of
the
club and had filled it with lead. I tried a few putts with it and it seemed to hit my mark every time
