GRIP Equipment

Justin Atwater Taylor is the founder of GRIP Equipment. This company is the brainchild of Taylor's thesis project while at the University of Kansas, where he developed an over-the-shoulder bag for holding disc golf discs. Developed for use with the modern day sport of Disc Golf, GRIP is breaking new ground into the primarily undeveloped sport, and making the brand known.

The GRIP brand is bolstered by the support of various professionals in the Disc Golf world, and there are specialty bags endorsed by these professionals. The bags are made of high quality materials that are able to withstand the environments, even including a rain cover, similar to the way traditional golfers protect their clubs.

Most bags are produced on a large scale from the far east, where manufacturing costs are lower. The specialty bags are produced in limited runs, primarily based on the number of pre-orders. Most bags are in the range of $200-$300.  Although the buy-in is high, the rigorous construction of these products are worth the investment.

With extensive ergonomic testing from the strap form to placement of pockets inside the bag, these bags are built for overall user comfort and for the love of Disc Golf.
