I was at the range the other day and the club keep moving in my hand as i was going from my backswing to forward swing. Note to everyone that doesn't end pretty but I couldn't for the life of me figuare out how/why I was doing it. could it be time to update my grips?? or was it just an off day?

| I normally use an interlocking grip, sometime I overlap my right hand pinky and left hand index finger just depends on the day. The grips a tight on the clubs. It was moving in my hands turning the club head away from my body. I havent been back to the range yet I'll try and get there again in the next couple of days to see if I do it again.

I found it helps in two areas: the grip and it keeps blisters or hot spots off your hand. the glove shoes and clothing only make you feel like a golfer they don't improve your game.

The most comfortable to me are the Taylormade gloves, and some really cheap glove that they sell at Wal Mart. I think they go for something like 5.99USD. They don't last very long but you can't even tell you are wearing it. I bought 10 of them last time I bought stuff there. Sorry I can't remember the brand. You might be able to find them online.
