The afternoon Fourball sessions are about to begin, and we're wrapping up our Ryder Cup series by taking a look at two rookies.

🇺🇸 J.J. Spaun had a breakthrough season in 2025, which included a win at the U.S. Open. His incredible season earned him automatic qualification on the U.S. team. Spaun plays with a Golf Pride Tour Velvet, one of the most classic and widely used grips in golf. This choice speaks to his no-frills, reliable game that focuses on fundamentals.

🇪🇺 Rasmus Højgaard also secured his spot on Team Europe through automatic qualification thanks to a strong season on both the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour. The Danish rising star plays with the popular Golf Pride MCC, a hybrid grip that combines a corded upper hand for control and a softer, rubber lower hand for enhanced feel. His choice of a modern hybrid grip reflects a more dynamic and balanced approach to his game.

Today, we're comparing two players who rely on classic feel and consistency.

🇺🇸 Russell Henley is a purist. He plays with a timeless Golf Pride Tour Velvet in a standard size with just one wrap. This is one of the most popular grips in golf for a reason—it's a no-nonsense choice that provides all-weather performance and a direct feel.

🇪🇺 Shane Lowry also uses a Tour Velvet, but with a twist. His grip features ALIGN Technology, which provides a raised ridge on the underside to help him find a consistent hand position every time. It's a subtle but crucial detail for a major champion.

Do you prefer a classic, round grip or a grip with a reminder for hand placement?
