Why should I Change my grips?
When your grips on your clubs are too slick, the forearm muscles and hands tighten to avoid losing control of the golf club. This tightening, reduces flow and clubhead speed as well as your natural athletic ability. If you don't tighten your grip, then the golf club slips and it usually equals a bad shot. Even worse, it can slip out of your hand and hit your buddies or land in a pond. Change em before they affect your game.
How much does it cost to get golf clubs re-gripped?
Figure $8-$12 per club. The typical set has 14 clubs, so 112-168. I have 16 clubs and rotate the 60 degree wedge and 5 wood in and out of play depending on the course I am playing. Bottom Line, think twice before buying used clubs online or from a buddy when the first thing you have to do is buy $125 worth of grips to get them playable. You are better off emailing us and getting a brand new starter set, bag and lifetime warranty, all for under $500.
When should I change your golf grips?
It depends on how much golf you play...
1) Once a year - Change the grips only when they get really slick and lose all their tack. Consider washing the grips with soapy water and a brush to remove the sunscreen and dirt. That should help liven up the tack. Once that doesn't work anymore, swap those babies out. If you play once a year, there is no need to spend $100-150 on grips if you are spending $60 on golf annually. Unless you dislike your money, that dog won't hunt.
2) Golf Often - Change your grips coming into every golf season. April or May for Northern Folk. Then if you don't play a ton, then should be good til the end of the season. Periodically check and change the grips on the clubs you use the most. The Driver, Wedge and Putter typically wear down the fastest. Also if you always practice with your 7 iron, then change that grip too.
3) Diehard Golfer -
I recommend regripping your golf clubs at the beginning of every season. Then change them every 3 months. Some clubs like the 4 iron may not need to be swapped out every time, but your core golf clubs should get some fresh rubber on them. While your at it, why don't you take the time and get your grips fit by a PGA professional. If you are going to spend this much time at the course, you might as well have the right grip on your golf club.
Hope this helps!!! By the way, my favorite grip is still the Golf Pride Tour Wrap Round with an extra wrap of tape.
