A ribbed grip has a small ridge (or rib) that runs the length of the inside of the grip. The ridge is aligned on the downside of the shaft during installation so that when you address the ball you’ll feel the rib in your upper hand. This rib helps some golfers as a reminder for proper hand and finger alignment on the club. Ribbed grips were very popular in the 70s and about 20% of golfers still swear by them. Round grips are just that, round, without a ridge.
