Winn Golf Grips

In 1986, Huang, a newcomer to golf, enrolled in a weeklong session at The Golf Digest Academy in Silverado, California. Under the tutelage of Jim Flick and Paul Ryan, Huang submitted himself to a virtual boot camp. The grueling training may have left Huang's shoulders sore and his hands blistered and aching, but it also left him determined. The rubber grips on his clubs were so slippery and uncomfortable that he had to overcompensate by holding his clubs too tightly. The tension translated into a stiff and labored swing. Frustrated and fed up with the strain, Huang resolved to use the vast expertise he'd gained from developing a successful tennis grip line to create a golf grip that would provide better shock absorption, improved slip-resistance, and unparalleled feel.

Over eighty patents later, Winn golf grips now bring greater comfort and enjoyment of the game to golfers worldwide. And Huang, who has long stopped strangling his clubs, has never had so much fun whether on the course or in the lab.
