BANG GOLF One thing golf grips and putter faces aren't usually called is stylish. That's changing with Bang Golf, which is making both a golf grip and putter utilizing a red, white and blue color scheme. The grips, made of durable soft leather, incorporate all three star-spangled colors, while the Bang-O-Matic Cadet putter uses red, white and blue face inserts that allow golfers to change the hardness of their faces. The grips also come in the color pink, as do the company's drivers, fairway woods and irons. For more information, call (626) 618-0303 or visit www.banggolf.com. COMPGRIP USA The most important thing for a golf grip is that it provides a firm hold for players so the club won't slip or twist out of their hands. The MP5 Microfiber grips use a micro-fiber composite sheet as an inner layer offering torque resistance. That means the grip is actually working with you to avoid the twists and turns that can make a golf shot go haywire. The MP5 composite sheet also retains and evaporates the absorbed moisture through the porous outer layer, meaning this grip will stay tacky under wet conditions and durable much longer than most synthetic leather grips. For more information, call (626) 289-9286 or visit www.compgrip.com. NEVER BEND Golf may not be backbreaking work, but the constant bending over and picking up balls after you drop them in the cup certainly adds stress. The Never Bend Putter Grip is a textured comfortable grip that uses a suction cup to pick up balls without bending over. You merely attach the grip to your putter and then turn the putter over and retrieve the ball after you ice that 60-foot birdie putt. For more information, call (800) 305-3028 or visit www.neverbendgrips.com. IOMIC The makers of Iomic grips aren't bashful about what they're doing: They're helping calm your soul while improving your golf game. Iomic grips are infused with 350 negative ions that, the makers say, "emit a subtle amount of radiation, which activates the biometabolism and improves the body's immune system." Negative ions, some have said, produce a calming effect within the body. The grips are also water-resistant, crack-proof, UV-and resistant. There are two types of iron/wood grips ($16) - X-grips and X-Evolution. The putter grip ($18) has one design and is available in three sizes.
