Grips are made of materials that age and wear over time, you will find that dirt, heat and even oils from your hands play a part in their breakdown. A new grip lets you hold the club lightly without fear of letting go during the swing which helps increase proper swing mechanics and wrist release. Whilst a worn grip causes you to hold the club tighter, causing arm and wrist tension.
There is no set rule but generally you should re-grip once a year, regardless of whether you play golf every day or only twice a year as conditions are constantly breaking down the grip materials. We’ll let you into a trade secret – if your grips have become hard and shiny, then they definitely need changing. Don’t forget if you look after your grips you get the most from them, you can read our article about caring for your grips here.
There are many grip choices available allowing for individual needs and preferences but there are a number of factors to consider.
Don’t lose touch with your clubs, call by our workshop and we can help you decide what would be the best option.
