What is a ribbed golf club grip?

Nicola Murray, via email

When we talk about technology making the game easier, we tend to think of longer, more forgiving drivers and irons, and mallet putters designed to help us hole more putts. Golf grips can play their part, too, and one type in particular could help you to become a more consistent ball-striker.

A ribbed grip- also known as a 'reminder grip' - features a raised ridge or spine along the underside. When fitted on the shaft, the rib slots into the creases of your fingers and palms. The concept is simple: it helps you place your hands on the club in the same way every time, one of golf's key fundamentals.
