Alex Trujillo is the Director of Sales and Fitting for JumboMax Grips. Formerly, a PGA TOUR representative for FlightScope Golf, Alex is one of the best golf data analysts and advisors in the game, and he has parlayed his extensive ballistics and golfclub-performance knowledge and experience into the world of grips and their influence on the performance of a golfclub.
Alex joins #OntheMark to introduce JumboMax grips and describe the advantages of using a weighted, oversized grip as it pertains to increased clubhead speed and clubface control.
He explains the influence and effects of the grips as follows:
- How shot patterns can be tightened and straightened with different weighting of the grip
- How counter-balanced grips have been, and are, used but some of the great ball-strikers like Jack Nicklaus, Bryson DeChambeau and Sergio Garcia.
- The weight and swing-weight of a golfclub and how a grip, and its mass can influence those.
- The size effect of a grip and how it promotes a better hold on the club, more control of shot patterns by affecting clubface rates of closure, and how is can reduce hand and wrist injury and pain.
