‘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

he stroke was steady, sure and on-center with no twisting of the club head at impact. I had heard the folklore that Jack Nicklaus had inserted a few coins in the end cap of his clubs and that Hogan had used lead tape as an under-layment on the butt-end of his grips.
I then researched ‘

by raising the balance point of the club, which improved control & accuracy and had increased the club’s ‘on-center’ face angle at impact by 100%. They discovered that it took only 16 grams at the butt-end fulcrum of the club to positively affect the balance-point
;
that the counter-weighting increased swing speed by 2-4 MPH
;
and the more consistent 'on-center' shots with wood clubs resulted in an additional 10 yard gain in carry distance
;
and that the distance gain with the irons was even more impressive and improved so much from the norm that you actually gain one club with your irons. It seems that these old-timers, that were really good golfers, somehow figured this out while doing everything by touch & feel and by trial & error. In retrospect, they may not have known exactly why, but they knew when it worked for them. Today,
we now
know wh

it works. And, now that the secret's out, at the 2013 Masters

Jack Nicklaus introduced his 'Secret Grip' with a 17 gram back-weight built into his new replacement golf grips for modern clubs.
