Any of you tried or use them? Jack Nicklaus is pimping "Secret Grip" and I'm tempted to try one on my driver and 5 iron. Any feedback would be appreciated.

It's all the rage man. It has peaked my interest too, but mainly for the putter. Supposedly, Jack counter balanced his clubs back in the day. You could probably stick a lead weight in the butt and see how it feels.[FIFY protected]

What is the secret grip supposed to do? Is it simply supposed to lower the swingweight of your club? Does it make you release your hands earlier or later?

Damn, jj, after a couple of years on this board I've finally decided you have more tips, secrets and workarounds than the rest of us put together. I'm impressed.

As an aside, I wonder if KBS shafts accomplish something similar. Many people say they're "counter weighted" but supposedly the technical answer is they have a different balance point that mimics counter weighting.

Bagger - Nicklaus claims that these counter weighted grips will make you more accurate. Some people may see more distance, but the manufacturer does not claim that more distance will be gained.

I say it's all hogwash...Work on your swing, get fitted, and buy yourself a solid set of clubs and you will be fine. I think little things like grip size, set up, grip, tempo make a bigger difference than these gimmick products.

Get your putter out 3 times a week and take 100 putts on your carpet in your living room from 10' into a cup and you will notice a difference. Take a 7 iron outside and take 100 swings a couple of times per week and it will make a difference. Muscle memory is a beautiful thing.

That said, if anyone tries these bad boys out and likes them, please let me know...

I'm going on vacation for the next 10 days, but when I get back I'll have a couple of clubs regripped with Secret Grip and I'll report what I find.
