“Good golf begins with a good grip”
Do you have a winner's grip?
What do our greatest golfing winners say about Grip?
According to Ben Hogan and many other great golfers of our time, the GRIP is one of the five fundamentals of golf and good golf starts with a good grip.
The golf landscape is littered with swing training aids and devices that usually require an app and they can tell you something about your swing after it has happened but wouldn't it be better to know such critical information at the time it is happening?
Why is this important?
We know that the brain can interpret messages it receives and make adjustments in nano seconds so getting this information about grip pressure when we can still do something to adjust it is vital to muscle memory and game improvement so Lepard® has developed products to do just that, help you improve your game rapidly.
This is the difference between 'telling' someone how to squeeze the club and showing you what pressure you are applying so that the instant you change the pressure in your grip the lights adjust and so you can squeeze to get the right light and pressure equivalent rather than someone telling you to do it but you are not quite sure if you are there.
We know the grip is so important and that excess tension in the muscles of the hands, arms, shoulders and the rest of the body for that matter is detrimental to our game but how do we know how much tension we have from one day to the next? The answer is we don't really know until now.
Lepards® Golf Swing Training Products (Light Grip® and a new product coming soon at the end of November) both work off the same principle of a pressure sensor combined with lights to give you immediate and real time feedback to show you how what your grip is doing at critical parts of the swing.
Lepards® Golf Training Products are designed to give you real time feedback visually communicated with lights to help you improve your game and we have been achieving great results in our trials.

Lights off indicate a superlight grip, yellow lights indicate a light grip and RED indicates strong grip pressure. See other photos in our product description section.
Golf swing training and game improvement is sought after by golfers around the world at all levels. When you hit that perfect chip and the ball rolls into the cup or you hit a 3 wood from 220 metres out and you finish on the green a few metres from the flag or you hole out from a green side bunker with a downhill lie you feel the greatest sense of achievement!
As an avid golfer myself, i know these are the events that golfers dream about and that get us hooked and keep us coming back in the hope of hitting that elusive, miracle shot.
As committed golfers we all want improvement and more consistency but tension gets in the way and is known as the biggest killer of a good golf swing.
Lepards® Golf Training Products are designed to reduce tension by showing you what you might not be aware of in your swing.
The first product developed is Light Grip® (pictured above) which helps you set and maintain a consistent grip pressure which leads to better golf. LIGHTGRIP® gets rapid improvement results by showing you in real time how strong or light your grip is and as we know a tension free LIGHT GRIP® will produce better golf shots than will a grip that is too tight and full of tension. LIGHTGRIP® works by showing you coloured light that equivalent to your grip pressure at the time you are gripping the club.
Four grip pressure settings are indicated by light, very soft grip (no light), soft grip (YELLOW light), medium grip pressure (GREEN) strong grip pressure (RED).
HISTORY OF lepards CONCEPTs
When I first started to learn how to hold and grip the club, I was told “grip the club as if holding a baby’s hand” or “grip as if squeezing toothpaste from a tube”. I like many golfers find it hard to translate this and this approach to achieving a consistent grip pressure is open to interpretation and provides no feedback during the swing or at impact. So I created a solution and invented a way of instantly and continuously knowing how light or tight you are gripping the club. The result is Lepards Light Grip® pressure trainer.
Until i started using my Light Grip Pressure Trainer I had never had a hole-in-one however recently i had my first!! Coincidence or not a better grip leads to better golf.
I am really excited to share Lepards Light Grip® pressure training glove and other pressure sensor products in development with you and I hope you too become more consistent and ultimately play your best golf.
