First.pu- off, I started by reading up a bit on what this Underrated Golf thing is all about. Apparently, it's Steph Curry's initiative to make golf more accessible to everyone, especially those who might not have had the chance to get into the sport before. Sounds pretty cool, right? Golf Pride, on the other hand, is like, the big shot in the golf grip world. They've been around forever, making grips that all the pros use. It's like bread and butter in the golf scene. So, this collaboration felt like quite the match-up.
So, here's what I did next. I got my hands on one of these special grip kits they came up with. You can only get 8, you know. Pretty exclusive, but it was in the name of research! I got both the standard and midsize.
Putting them on was the real test.
- I stripped off my old, worn-out grips - quite the chore, but gotta do what you gotta do.
- Then, I got these new Underrated Golf Pride grips. It was kind of interesting to try them out.
- I played a few rounds with them. They felt... different. Not bad, just different. It's like, they're designed to be all unique and stuff, which I guess is the whole point.
Wrapping It Up
Honestly, it's a solid move. You're getting some quality grips, and at the same time, you're kind of chipping in (golf pun, get it?) to help make golf a bit more inclusive. I think that part got me. This wasn't just about slapping a name on a product. They are really serious about providing equity and opportunities to all players, regardless of where they came from. So, yeah, I'm all for it. Plus, it gave me a good excuse to refresh my set. I've gotta say, I feel good about this purchase, even if it did make me sweat a bit during the installation.
So, that's my take on the whole Curry and Golf Pride thing. It's more than just a partnership, I think it's about time someone tried to shake things up in the golf world a bit. And hey, if you get a chance, maybe check out these grips for yourself. It's a small way to be a part of something a bit bigger.
