It’s been said by many a player, that a good grip connects the player to the club, be they woods or irons or putters. Hence, the reason why they should be taken care of, bad grips will only affect your performance in the long run, and whether you choose to clean them or replace them, the bottom line is to make sure you take care of them.

A quick question, if grips connect the player and the club, just how much attention should be paid to the maintenance of the grip? The answer to that question depends on what type of player you are. Sometimes, grips just need a quick clean; a bucket of warm water, some soap, and a towel to dry and soon you are good and ready to play. 

While cleaning grips is a habit to cultivate and any player would risk losing not just around in a game, but the grips if care is not taken, there comes a time when sweat, oil, grime, and sunscreen get rooted in your grips and your only option is to replace them. So, when cleaning no longer restores that feel of tackiness, you know it is time to regrip that golf grip.

Why is it important to re-grip golf grips? 

The benefits are truly endless, but we can go through a few;

• Comfortable games: You should replace your grips if the grip is wearing off because it’ll be a lot more comfortable to play with. Once you have perfect fitting grips, you are more likely to have a better time playing.
• Better traction: For a smooth round of fun, without the fear of your handle slipping from your grasp. 
• Smoother swings: Less tension in your hands while playing with clean or freshly gripped handles will give you smoother swings, which are tied to more enjoyable rounds of golf. 

When to re-grip golf grips

You’ll know it’s time to regrip your golf clubs when your old grips start feeling hard or slippery. This indicates they are worn down and need an upgrade. If you play multiple times per week then you may have to replace them once a year. If you play on the weekends then your grips could very well last beyond a year. The best way to make your golf clubs last, is to clean you grips.

You can tell if your grips need to be re-gripped by examining the grip. If the material shows visible wear spots or cracks and splits, and when you hold it, does the material feel rock hard? Just because a grip does not look worn down does not mean it is not. After using the grips for a year or more, or 40+ rounds, it is time to re-grip that golf club. 

How to remove golf grips

You’ll need to have your new grips and some sort of solvent on hand. All you have to do is cut off your old grip and tape, put on the new tape, apply some of the solvents, toss on the new grips, and make sure everything is aligned. I’d recommend you practice with an old club before you try the real thing. Removing old grips is pretty easy too.

First, clamp the shaft near the lower end of the grip. Then point the face of the club toward the floor. Cut the old grip open. Now be careful, cutting into a rounded surface requires care and for safety’s sake, do not cut up toward your body. Also, avoid cutting into the shaft. 

When you’re done, peel off the old grip and scrape the tape away. Remove the remaining residue with grip solvent and a clean cloth. Easy as riding a bike. 

Which new golf grips to buy?

Golf grips all feel different and you must use something comfortable. Some grips are softer than others and some grips are larger than others. If you are a beginner player you could try a slightly thicker and softer grip, even then you might find there are other grips you’d prefer.

A player has to consider a few factors before deciding what new golf grips to purchase;

• Size
• Texture
• Firmness
• Prevailing weather
• Price
• Style and finishing

With these in mind, it should be a cakewalk choosing that new set of grips. Some grip-making companies help with the selection by creating grips in all shapes and sizes that come with advice on how to use them, from the arrows on the grips that show you how to put them on the clubs, some arrows show the center of the grips and some are designed to help with your alignment.

How to re-grip golf grips

Once you’ve selected the golf grip you prefer, you can proceed with the task of re-griping your golf club. You could get it done by paying a professional, but honestly, re-gripping golf clubs is a simple, straightforward task, and you could do it yourself. Once you’re familiar with the process, it is possible to re-grip golf clubs in a matter of minutes. Maybe practice with an old club first, just to get a hang of it. 

You’ll need:

• Vise equipped with rubber vise clamps: Rubber vise clamps are essential to protect the club’s shaft and to prevent it from rotating. 
• Utility knife or straight blade: To cut through the old grip. If you own graphite shafts, it is better to use a hook blade to cut through the old grip. 
• Deactivating grip solvent & a clean cloth: Used to get rid of any residual adhesive. 
• Two-sided grip tape (¾’ or 2”), and 1/64” build-up tape if needed
• Rubber gloves: You may want to wear rubber gloves to avoid contact with the deactivating solvent. 

 

Follow these steps to re-grip your golf club. 

1. Remove old grip: Peel off the old grip with a blade, be careful as you scrape the tape away. Remove the remaining residue with grip solvent and a clean cloth afterward.
2. Apply grip tape: Size up the new grip to determine how much of the shaft requires taping. Apply ¾” grip tape in a spiral pattern from the top of the shaft to the point where the grip will end. Then apply 2” grip tape lengthwise. Remove the paper backing. Add a little extra tape to the end of the shaft. First, use build-up tape if you want to increase the width of the new grip. It also comes in ¾” and 2” widths. Again, apply the ¾” width in a spiral pattern. Apply the 2” width lengthwise. Each layer adds 1/64” to the size of the grip. You can layer the tape to achieve the desired thickness.
3. Apply some solvent: Use a golf tee to plug the hole at the end of the grip. Next, pour some solvent into the open end of your grip. Cover the open end with your hand and shake for a while to distribute the solvent. Remove the tee and pour the excess solvent onto the grip tape on the shaft. Place a tray under the clamped shaft to catch excess solvent. You can use the excess solvent on the other clubs if you are re-griping more than one club. 
4. Slide the grip into place: While the grip tape is still wet, roughly align the grip then pull it down over the end of the shaft. Make sure the end of the shaft nestles into the end of the grip. Adjust the alignment so the club and grip fit. You’ll have about one minute before the tape is no longer slippery. Allow the new grip to dry for several hours before use.
5. Have a blast: Here is the fun part. Head to the first tee and start playing with your re-gripped clubs!

 

Of course, there are other methods to re-grip your golf clubs, you don’t need to use traditional grip solvents. There are also environmentally friendly solvent alternatives like soapy water and compressed air. The big difference is in wait times. The solvent-based approach needs about two hours of drying time. The water-based approach requires 24 hours of drying time. Using compressed air eliminates drying time.

• The water-activated method: This requires about 3 tablespoons of dishwashing detergent in a quart of clean water. Apply the solution to the grip tape. Slide the new grip in place.
• Compressed air method: If you have a source of compressed air (no, inflated balloons won’t do), get a specially-designed pressure tip from a golf supplier. Attach it to the compressed air source, and plug the other end into the hole in the butt end of the grip. The compressed air will then expand the new grip, allowing you to slip it over the grip tape. Pull out the pressure tip, as the grip returns to normal size, tightly adhering to the grip tape. It is possible to use the compressed air method to remove old grips as well.

 

How to Properly Clean Golf Grips.

As with all tools, a proper maintenance routine guarantees effectiveness, and an all-around better experience. When handling your golf clubs, about to drive that ball down the deep with an easy swing, you’re counting on your grip to have good traction and enough pressure to maintain just the right amount of control on your swing. 

It is common knowledge the average grip might last for as long as a year or 40 to 60 rounds, if you are playing a lot, so simple golf grip cleaning routines in between getting a new set should help lengthen that time or at least ensure your grips are in the best conditions. In this article, you’ll learn in easy-to-follow steps the best methods to clean your golf grip.

Why Is It Important to Clean Golf Grips?

Having flashy equipment and a passable knowledge of how best to grip that iron for a precision shot is great, but what do you do when your grip gets too slick to offer a firm hold? First, understand that this can happen for a slew of reasons, from temperature changes to sweaty palms and too much sunlight. So, to get rid of oils and dirt that have built up we endorse cleaning your grips throughout the season. 

Below are a few reasons why you should clean your golf grips.

• Slippery hands: No player wants to lose a game because of a hand slip, that would be frustrating and can easily be avoided by simply cleaning your grip. It is why professional players are seen wiping their grips with a towel after taking a shot. Sweaty hands during a game are unfortunately an occurrence a lot of players are used to, so gloves and towels are always at the ready. Cleaning your golf grip ensures you do not have to worry about a slip during a game.
• Sanitary playing: Cleaning grips is not a habit professional players imbibe to inspire themselves to drive further, or a routine just for routine’s sake, doing so keeps their grips from a ton of unwanted dirt and grime after using their equipment.
• Grip firmness: Using slippery grips costs players solid strokes during rounds all the time and can inhibit shot distance, causing you to pull the ball or even swing with a complete miss. It is one of the things to consider as you play, lest you are in the zone and a whiff happens.

Regularly cleaning your golf grips can make them last much longer, and also help save money as there is less urgency to replace them!

 

When to Clean Golf Grips

The frequency of cleaning golf grips depends on a few factors.

• Grip style: depending on this factor, some grips need more frequent cleaning, take, for instance, soft squishy grips; these grips are different from the full-cord style and they do not stay fresh for as long.
• Hand pressure: A solid grip is always advised, but too much pressure and you develop a death grip on your clubs. This can alter the regularity of cleaning as well as make it a bit hard to play steadily.
• Frequency of play: Another factor to consider is how often you play. The more you are out on the green, the more often you will have to clean your grips – having grip cleaners such as wipes or a spray bottle on hand will prove useful if you enjoy playing frequently.
• Conditions of play: Golf players have been known to play at the oddest times during day or night, this and the condition of the terrain play a large role in how much and often you will have to clean your equipment. If you are involved in a long game, you will also need to have cleaners on hand as there is the likelihood a lot of sweating has been happening. Depending on the situation of your home course, the weather might also affect your grips. In higher humidity environments or seasons, grips can get tacky and will therefore need to be cleaned more often. On the other hand, during the cooler seasons when the air is dryer, older grips can get hard and will result in a loss of the ability to keep a solid, firm grip on your club.

Players can generally tell when it is time to clean their grips. It becomes hard or even slippery, leaving little room for a tight grip on the club.

 

Grips can last for a while provided they are taken care of, otherwise they end up wearing down over time due to exposure to the elements and frequent use/play. Any serious golfer will point out just how important it is to maintain your golf grips–they are as important as any other equipment. To extend the life of your grips, we recommend cleaning your grips throughout the season to remove oils and dirt that have built up.

 

Grips are the connection a golfer has with his club; you want to keep both clean and ready. It is also recommended to store your clubs inside to avoid the weather or extreme temperatures, which can prematurely break down the rubber. But do not fret, there are easy ways to keep your golf grips in tip-top form.

How to Clean Golf Grips

To lengthen the life of your grips, we recommend cleaning them as much as possible each season to get rid of the oils and filth which can build up with constant use. With grips being mostly a darker color, it is easy to see how golfers hardly see the unavoidable build-up of dirt left by a wide variety of culprits such as grime, oils, even leftover sunscreen. 

 

The best strategy is to maintain your grips with a combination of methods; employ wipes and sprays for when you have to clean as you go, and a more thorough approach when you are chanced, with warm water and soap. This can be once in two weeks–depending on how often you play. Cleaning the golf clubs and balls is also always a good idea, so do not neglect that as you clean your golf grips.

 

Now there are a number of ways to correctly get those golf grips fit for human use, but most of them would require you to have a few things handy first; 

• A bucket or a sink
• Mild dish soap
• A soft scrub brush
• A cleaning cloth
• A towel, and of course 
• Water–preferably warm.

Start by mixing the soap in a bucket of warm water, use a sink if that works for you. Dip the scrub brush in the warm, soapy water and scrub the grip all around its sides, it is also okay to use that toothbrush you no longer need. Be careful not to overdo the scrubbing, that is a sure-fire way of damaging the grips (depending on the grips of course). Scrub for as long as needed (a minute to be on the safe side) and when you’re done, rinse the soap off the grip and brush with warm water, and then use the clean brush to scrub for residues. Pat dry with a towel, ensure your grips are dry before use and use a cleaning cloth to maintain it during games. Air drying grips might not get the trace amounts of soap leftover and this could do some damage in the long run, so we recommend towels or cleaning cloths. 

 

Golf grips can get expensive, and while most players enjoy stocking up on new golf clubs, the thought of restocking grips leaves most with dread. So, cleaning them really is the more efficient option, and the other methods doing this includes;

• The use of Cleaning Wipes: Although you will spend money on them, they are cheap and easy to get, and with cleaning wipes you can clean your grips on the go, with no need for warm water or soap. Cleaning wipes are designed to eliminate oils, dirt, and sweat, and it really can be said to be simple as only a few wipes are enough to clean up an entire set of golf clubs. Having cleaning wipes on hand is great, but if that is not your speed, try washing with soap and warm water and then having an extra towel in your bag to keep them dry. The dryer the grip, the more pressure you have during the round.
• Spray Cleaners: There are a number of biodegradable sprays in the market today just right for your grips, all you have to do is spray and wipe. Plus, most of them can clean not just grips but the golf clubs and balls. Wipe immediately after, apply a little pressure with the cloth and rotate your wrist back and forth to rub it into every side of your grip. Move your hand up towards the top of your grip as you rotate the cloth to cover every section of the grip.

See, easy ways… Make sure you keep your grips fresh and store them inside to extend the life of your grips.

What Are Golf Grips?

A golf grip is basically the top part of your club that you hold to give you the perfect swing; if you are gong to fix your slice or hook, you might want to start getting familiar with the golf grip. This term is also used to describe the technique that a golfer holds the golf clubs but, in this article, we are referring to the actual grip of a club.

Even professionals give credit to good grip when they make shots that seemed impossible.  Choosing a golf grip is not just a walk in the bar, luckily, a lot of retailers sell golf grips but they come in different thickness, sizes and build material. There are also golf grips for different types of golf clubs; for instance, the golf grip for a putter may be different from the type suitable for your driver.

It all boils down to what feels best for you. Check out the kind of materials used to make golf grips.  

• Rubber 
• Silicon 
• Elastomer 
• Leather

Types of Golf Grip Textures

• Cord Golf grip: this is one of the most popularly used pattern of golf grip because it provides firmness and comfort. They have a corded material like a string built into the grip and it is especially good for rainy weather and golfers that do not like to wear gloves. 

• Rubber golf grips:  these types of grips are also very popular because they are soft. Most golf clubs that haven’t been re-gripped will probably have the original rubber ones as a standard.

• Wrap golf grips: this type of golf grip is like a spiral round the golf club and it is pretty useful if you haven’t exactly mastered finger placement. You can just memorize the spiral number to place your hands.
• Ribbed golf grips: this is the most useful type of grip for new golfers. The rib helps in club control and stability as well as tell people where to place their hands.
• Velvet grip: with a pattern of repeating crosses, this type of grip feels a little over the top but more and more people are buying it. It was first released as part of the tour velvet line. 
• Heavy or lightweight golf grips: you know how some golf clubs are specifically designed to be lightweight or heavyweight? Well, you will have to buy a grip to match the specification of your golf clubs so as not to offset the balance of the club.

Basically, there are a variety of golf grip textures; round ones even exist. All of these textures actually play a crucial role, they will improve the firmness of your grip and prevent slipping. In fact, in wet weather conditions, you should completely avoid using smooth grips and materials like plastic which are prone to slipping. Use a heavy pattern instead with a busy texture.

Why Are Golf Grips Important?

There are many benefits of golf grips. Check out some reasons why pro golfers are so exact when it comes to their golf grips.

• It helps you keep your hands securely on the club: let’s imagine a situation where there are no golf grips on a golf club, it will be easy for your hands to slip when they are sweaty. When you are practicing alone, it may not be much of a problem but in a competition, this may cost you the entire game. 
• A good grip is a confidence-booster: some people will argue that it is not the ball, or clubs or grips, it’s the golfer and they are right to some extent. There is a certain confidence that comes with your golf club just fitting right in your hands. Because of this, you can make shot after shot with unwavering confidence.
• Golf grips can affect your game: a recent study actually showed that 90% of golfers missed at least 3-5 shots that they would have otherwise made using the wrong size of golf grips. Even though it is a usually underestimated golf gear, a good golf grip is very beneficial to golfers and it can change how you hit the ball.
• You can master the right technique to solve your slice: sometimes, you can find yourself with a natural slice where the ball always goes towards the right or left but is never really centralized. If your stance is correct and you are holding the golf club correctly but it just won’t go away, there is a high chance that using the proper golf grip will help you get straighter balls.
• Helps you control the pressure of your hold: Its not new to see people holding a golf club like they are strangling it. This will definitely make you lose a lot of easy points. A firmer golf grip will help reduce the amount of excess pressure while a softer grip will make people with little pressure tighten their hold more than they would have. Having a golf grip can solve seemingly small problems.
• Picking the right grip for the weather: this is one of the key importance of golf grips. Some grips are not suitable for extremely wet weather or even humid atmospheres, your hands may always feel slippery during certain periods because you are using the wrong grip. This is noticeable with people who don’t like using gloves for golf. You should know that no golf grip is completely water resistant but some will still be very effective even if the weather is wet.
• Golf grips can help to alleviate pain: some golfers may have health issues like arthritis and this may cause pain when you squeeze too hard. Large and soft grips will hep reduce pain and improve swing consistency.

When to Change Golf Grips?

Although most golf clubs will come with custom grips, there are certain times when it is necessary to change your golf grips. So, is a simple cleaning enough to get your golf grips as good as new? Or should you just buy a new one? Keep reading to find out.

Golf grips can get old really fast. No matter how often you clean them, things like ozone, grease or dirt can get stuck under the grip. A worn out or dirty grip will subconsciously make you hold the club tighter in fear of it slipping, this may affect your wrist movement and the entire game as a whole.

The truth is, changing golf grips depends on how often you play golf. You can be a weekend golfer or someone who swings their golf club every day, all of this will contribute to how worn out your golf grip may get. 

Once in a while golfer: some people have golf clubs primarily to show off to friends and never use them. Even in that situation, the usual agents of degradation will work their way to the golf grips and the quality is sure to reduce. Regrip once a year to give your golf club a fresh look and feel.

Recreational golfer: if you are a weekend golfer, you should change your golf grip after every 6 months.

Frequent golfer: someone that plays golf often may regrip as soon as after 1 or 2 months. This is because a golf grip will lose that original feel before you start seeing changes like wear and tear. Even though it is hard to notice this, some pros do notice the change in their swing and regrip immediately to solve it.

As a rule of thumb, a good grip is only good for about 40-rounds of golf. If you are patient, note down how many complete rounds of golf you have played to know when to change your golf grip. 

Will Cleaning Help?

Yes, it will. You should always make sure all your gear is clean and ready to rock! Golf grips go through a lot; they are exposed to sun, rain, dirt, human sweat and oil. They do last long but consistent abuse will have it falling apart. Cleaning your grip is very easy, you can use a washing agent with a pad, soft brush or a washcloth if it is a soft grip. Next, dip your golf grip in warm water to remove all of the soft, wipe with a towel and air-dry before use. Remember to be gentle and avoid using a harsh detergent.

Cleaning your golf grip after every use will definitely help to increase the lifespan of your golf club but this does not mean that you can completely avoid changing it. At some point, the golf grip will have a clammy and sticky feel especially in wet periods, this is a good sign that you should regrip immediately. 

How To Change Golf Grips

Regripping your golf clubs is something that will save you a lot of time, stress and money in the long run. This can be done in two ways; you can get a professional to regrip your golf clubs at around $3-$10 per piece and for the entire set, you may pay $70-$100 depending on the golf club and the type of grip you are buying. Or, You can do it the cheaper way by yourself at home. Check out how to regrip your golf clubs by yourself. But, if you are not good with handling equipment, just pay for it.

• Get Your New Golf Grips 

Obviously, you can’t regrip without a replacement grip. If it is your first time trying out regripping, you should buy more grips than needed in case something goes wrong with the installment, you can use the extra grip. Besides, you will need the grips in the future so buying excess is never a loss.

• Get Some Installment Tools

To start off, you will need something to bind the grip to the shaft of the golf club. There are different types of grip tapes you can choose from; if you are using water as a solvent, get the water absorbent grip tape. If you are using WD-40, you will need a double-sided grip tape. Secondly, you need a utility knife or blade to cut open the old grip, rubber vise and clamp.

• Remove Your Old Golf Grip

Secure the club properly and use the utility knife to cut open the old grip. Be very careful when doing this and always cut away from yourself. Don’t cut too dip or you may nick your golf club. Peel back and remove the old grip. The grip tape goes next, you may have some trouble getting all of it off but it is important to remove every last piece of the old grip tape. Do not even attempt to put a new grip tape over an older one, it will increase the thickness of your grip. You can pour some water over the tape while scraping it off to make it easier to peel and be careful with your shaft to avoid bending it.

• Add The New Grip Tape

Adding the new tape properly is crucial if you want a balanced grip. Cut out tape that is a little more than the length of your grip and peel the backing from one side of the tape strip. Next, place the sticky side of the tape strip on the golf shaft and flatten with your fingers to make sure it is secure. After this, peel the other backing and wrap the grip tape around the shaft. You can cut off the excess grip tape.

You may have heard about pros adding more tape to one side or even bunching on tapes under the grip. All of these hacks are only necessary for people who have fully mastered what makes their swing the most effective. As a beginner, you should fix the tape evenly on the shaft or it will affect the balance of your golf club.

• Install The New Grips

This is the part where you want to get everything just right. At this stage, you can use a vise to ensure that your golf club won’t move when you slide on the new golf grip. In fact, I would suggest that you use a vise if this is the first time you are doing this. Imagine trying the align your golf club and sliding on a new grip at the top at the same time, it is beyond frustrating.

First place your thumb at one end of the golf grip and pour a generous amount of water in the grip. Cover the other end and shake to really get that solvent all over it. In light of zero wastage, pour that same water over the grip tape on your shaft and make sure it is completely coated so that the grip will fit in easily. Slide your new grip onto the shaft and get it all the way down to the shaft. Take care that the logo of the grip is properly aligned on the club, this shows that your grip did not twist while sliding.

• Finishing touches

Wipe down the newly installed golf grip with a towel to remove all fluid and allow it to dry for 6-8 hours before taking it for a swing.

Different Size Golf Grips

While there are different types of grips, it is essential to get the proper size of grips as well. A lot of golfers actually neglect to get fitted for their golf grip and this is wrong. Different hand shapes and sizes will determine the grip that will work best for you. Grips are the only part of the golf club that you get to touch while playing and it helps you direct the clubhead for a perfect strike.

Golf grips comes in a variety of sizes. The most common sizes are the Junior or Undersize, Standard, Midsize and Oversize. You can customize by adding additional layers of tape during installation. A grip that’s too small, will cause extra holding and this commonly leads to pulling the ball. A grip that’s too large limits wrist movement, suppresses shot distance, and can cause you to slice or push the shot. Basically, buying the right size is super important.

What’s My Grip size? 

To determine the appropriate size for you, measure the top of your wrist to the end of your longest finger. Use that number to guide you. 

• Junior/Undersize (less than 7 inches) – the outer diameter will usually be less than an inch or 0.8 inches. 
• Standard (7 inches to 8 ¾ inches) – 1 inch for outer diameter. 
• Midsize (8¼ inches to 9¼ inches) – 1⅛ inches outer diameter 
• Oversize (more than 9¼ inches) – 1⅜ inches outer diameter. 

Most golfers use the standard grip size but that may not be the case for everyone. When it comes to the diameter of the grip, some players prefer thicker or thinner grips. There is no rule for this, it is down to what you prefer.

As earlier said, any size not originally available can be achieved through build-up tape. Some people use the Undersize or standard grip size with two or more layers of tape. Now, grips are made in a variety of materials (rubber, cord, plastic), keep in mind that some are heavier than others and this can impact the feel of the grip. 

Unfortunately, simply calculating grip size with your hand size may not be an appropriate way to fully know the diameter size to purchase. Seek advice from golf professionals and club makers to know the material of golf grip you should use, the proper size of grip and the thickness of the diameter. 

The way you swing, your glove size and your grip technique will also play a role in the perfect grip for you. A smaller grip would be great for outside and inside players while people with hooks may need bigger sizes to make their ball fly straight. The good news is that when you know what’s right for you, you can just keep buying only that type of golf grip.

Different grips for different people

Senior golfers: senior golfers will most likely feel comfortable with rubber grips instead of cord grips because they are softer. They also buy the oversize grip because it keeps their hands steady as they play.

Grips for playing with pain: people with arthritis usually go for bigger and softer golf grips to help with consistency.

 

Golf grips are not only fancy, they are like a hack to make you improve your game. Now that you know everything from the benefits of golf grips to how to regrip your club and pick your golf grip, you can properly shop for a good golf grip.
