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?

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?

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?
