Scented Grips?
11.05.09 | 12:38 PM

Golf manufacturers are always vying to grab the attention of forlorn golfers, so unusual products are fully expected. But Hireko Golf's latest announcement will elicit some furrowed eyebrows, even among the most eccentric golfers.

Hireko's new Karma grips for women are available in three pastel colors and scents: jasmine, lavender and rose. Apparently, the fragrances are a holistic way to shoot lower scores, and they'll "cleanse your mind, body and spirit out on the golf course."

Americans spent $34 billion dollars on alternative medicine in a single year, according to data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics in 2007. And aromatherapy, which is a popular form of alternative medicine, has been linked to inducing calmness and relaxation.

But will a lavendar-scented grip really evoke a state of calmness as you stand over a nerve-racking shot from the rough to an island green? There's only one way to find out. And at 89 cents a pop, you can't go wrong.

I think it's an interesting concept - lavender is supposed to be very calming. I wonder if it smells like strong like perfume, natural like aromatherapy or more artificial like a scented candle.

Lovely colors, but I prefer the scent of the golf course.

I was wondering what ''89 cents a pop" meant: I was wondering if that was the price of the scent-refills, but no, that is the price of the grip! I wonder how good that can smell, or grip!

JB, Hacker . . . maybe we need to implement a minimum post number before someone can post a link.

I'm a bit disappointed. I thought the spammer had posted something intriguing so I cautiously opened it - yes I know - no impulse control. Then I see golf clubs - how boring.

Liz say's vanilla and pumpkin are Hard to beat! I can't believe I just said that...

Does not some one on here soak their grips in bacon grease? I thought I read that some where a while back. Maybe that was on another forum

No - Harry said that someone might want to talk about bacon flavored grips. I assume he meant Gasman.

**RIjdrVs3** · 12-11-2009, 05:14 PM

When do they come out with the bacon and stripper scents??

Im all for the first one, but would you really want your grips smelling like stale smoke, old man, glitter and cheap perfume?

Thanks for the nice welcome, but the way I see it is now we will have something to tell the wife when we really come home smelling like a stripper. Oh, and just so you know I love all the smells but the old man, if you said old woman, its a whole new story. haha

I was going to ask what the second smelled like, but I don't really want to know.

Spoiler Does silicone have an odor?
