The afternoon Fourball sessions are about to begin, and we're wrapping up our Ryder Cup series by taking a look at two rookies.

🇺🇸 J.J. Spaun had a breakthrough season in 2025, which included a win at the U.S. Open. His incredible season earned him automatic qualification on the U.S. team. Spaun plays with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet, one of the most classic and widely used grips in golf. This choice speaks to his no-frills, reliable game that focuses on fundamentals.

🇪🇺 Rasmus Højgaard also secured his spot on Team Europe through automatic qualification thanks to a strong season on both the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour. The Danish rising star plays with the popular Golf Pride MCC, a hybrid grip that combines a corded upper hand for control and a softer, rubber lower hand for enhanced feel. His choice of a modern hybrid grip reflects a more dynamic and balanced approach to his game.

Today is the day! Morning foursomes are underway, and we're taking a look at two players who represent the contrasting approaches to grip selection.

🇺🇸 Harris English had a phenomenal 2025 season, including a win at the Farmers Insurance Open and a runner-up finish at The Open Championship. English plays with the Golf Pride MCC ALIGN, a hybrid grip that features a raised ridge on the underside, helping him achieve a consistent hand placement. His choice of two total wraps also makes the grip slightly thicker, which can help him reduce grip pressure for a more fluid swing.

🇪🇺 Straka returns to Team Europe as a two-time winner on the PGA Tour in 2025 and a key part of Europe's victory in 2023. His equipment choice is a nod to golf's traditional roots: the Golf Pride Tour Velvet, known for its classic feel and proven performance. Straka opts for a midsize version with a single wrap, providing a thicker feel to help him maintain a lighter, more relaxed grip on the club.

It's a true battle of feel versus technology. Do you prefer a classic, uniform grip like the Tour Velvet or the modern alignment technology of the MCC ALIGN?

Tonight, we're taking a look at Tyrrell Hatton and Ben Griffin.

🇺🇸 Ben Griffin, a Ryder Cup rookie and proud UNC alumni, is bringing a touch of his college pride to the course with a Golf Pride MCC grip in Carolina Blue. This tour-favorite hybrid grip combines a corded upper hand for maximum stability and all-weather control with a softer, rubber lower hand for enhanced feel. It's a popular choice that perfectly complements his well-rounded game.

🇪🇺 Tyrrell Hatton on the other hand is a European veteran playing with the Lamkin Crossline Cord. This classic, firm, all-cord grip offers maximum traction in all weather conditions, a choice that gives the fiery competitor ultimate control in high-pressure moments.

These two grips represent a choice between a traditional corded feel and a modern hybrid design. Which grip would you put on your clubs?

It's Ryder Cup Eve and today, we're taking a look at the grips of two of the game's brightest stars, Cameron Young and Ludvig Åberg!

🇺🇸 Cam plays with the Golf Pride MCC ALIGN MAX. This grip takes the popular alignment technology to the legal limit with a higher, firmer ridge for consistent hand placement. It’s a bold choice that speaks to his quest for precision.

🇪🇺 Åberg also opts for a hybrid grip, the Golf Pride MCC, but in a midsize with one wrap. This thicker grip helps him reduce grip pressure, giving him the confidence to swing freely and unleash his massive power.

Do you prefer a grip with an alignment aid or a thicker grip for less tension?

When it comes to grip size, some players believe bigger is better. Tonight, we're featuring two of the biggest names in golf and their massive grips.

🇺🇸 Bryson uses JumboMax Tour Series grips in a size so large they're labeled "Extra Large." These massive grips are a core part of his swing philosophy, helping him keep his hands quiet and swing with his body to generate incredible speed.

🇪🇺 Fitzpatrick plays with a Jumbo-size Golf Pride Tour Velvet and a whopping 12 total wraps! This isn't just an oversized grip—it's a conscious choice to reduce wrist tension and hit the ball with more control.

This is a powerful reminder that every player has a unique feel. Do you think a bigger grip could help your game?

Today, we're comparing two players who rely on classic feel and consistency.

🇺🇸 Russell Henley is a purist. He plays with a timeless Golf Pride Tour Velvet in a standard size with just one wrap. This is one of the most popular grips in golf for a reason—it's a no-nonsense choice that provides all-weather performance and a direct feel.

🇪🇺 Shane Lowry also uses a Tour Velvet, but with a twist. His grip features ALIGN Technology, which provides a raised ridge on the underside to help him find a consistent hand position every time. It's a subtle but crucial detail for a major champion.

Do you prefer a classic, round grip or a grip with a reminder for hand placement?

Let's get into the grips of two players who are crucial to their teams' success, Sam Burns and Justin Rose.

🇺🇸 Burns uses the popular Golf Pride Tour Velvet Align in a Midsize with one wrap. The "Align" ridge on the back of the grip provides a consistent hand placement reminder, while the midsize feel helps him keep his hands quiet throughout the swing.

🇪🇺 Rosie has a long-standing relationship with Lamkin. His choice is the Lamkin REL ACE, a grip known for its super-tacky feel and superior vibration dampening. He builds his up with 3 total wraps to get the perfect fit.

Two different brands, two different feels. What's more important to you: a consistent hand placement aid or the soft, tacky feel of a specific material?

It's a cord clash! Today, we're pitting two of the game's best ball-strikers against each other to see how they grip it and rip it.

🇺🇸 Collin Morikawa, a two-time major champion opts for the firm, aggressive feel of a Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord with 3 wraps. This almost sandpaper-like grip provides maximum traction and a consistent, no-slip feel, perfect for his precise iron play.

🇪🇺 Tommy Fleetwood also trusts a corded grip—the popular Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord. His setup is also a standard size with 3 wraps, a choice that provides all-weather performance and a firm connection with the club.

Both players use a corded grip, but which one would you prefer in your hands? The ultra-firm Z-Grip or the classic Tour Velvet Cord?

Tonight we're focusing on the hands of two major champions, Patrick Cantlay and Jon Rahm.

🇺🇸 Cantlay opts for a classic feel with the Golf Pride Tour Velvet, a standard size with one wrap. This is a timeless choice that prioritizes a consistent, pure connection with the club.

🇪🇺 Rahm takes a different approach. He plays with a Golf Pride MCC, but in a midsize with one wrap. A thicker grip like this can help reduce tension and keep the hands quiet, allowing a powerful player to swing more freely.

It's a great example of how even small grip differences can have a huge impact on feel and performance. Do you prefer a standard grip for maximum feel or a midsize grip for more control?

It's the little details that separate the best. Today, we're taking a closer look at the grip setups of two of the game's stars: Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland.

🇺🇸 Xander Schauffele is a big fan of the Golf Pride MCC Align. The "Align" feature is a raised ridge on the underside of the grip, which helps him achieve consistent hand placement and a square clubface on every shot. He builds his up with 3 total wraps for a slightly thicker feel.

🇪🇺 Viktor also uses a Golf Pride MCC, but his setup is slightly different with 2 total wraps. He gets all-weather performance from the hybrid grip but forgoes the Align reminder.

These subtle differences in grip specs are a reminder of how customized the equipment is for each player. What grip and spec are you gaming?

Tonight, we're taking a look at how the world's top two players, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy configure their grips for the biggest stage.

🇺🇸 Scottie relies on a classic Golf Pride Tour Velvet grip. However, his setup is unique. He opts for 8 total wraps, which actually converts the grip into a very firm Jumbo size. This is a highly personalized choice that gives him a unique feel, helping to reduce hand tension and quiet his hands through impact, contributing to his legendary ball-striking consistency.

🇪🇺 McIlroy, the reigning Masters champion who completed the career Grand Slam this season, trusts the popular Golf Pride MCC hybrid grip. Rory’s choice combines a corded upper hand for control and a softer rubber lower hand for feel. His grip also features a custom built rib on the underside and uses 3 total wraps, providing a subtle reminder for his hand placement and a comfortable, thicker feel that complements his powerful swing.

Did you know that four wraps of tape increases a grip by one full size?
