GolfJunkie302 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Does everyone try to regrip anually? It seems like a lot of people do. I have not regripped my irons for over three years, but they still feel like they're brand-new. I wash them every few rounds with soap and water. I assume since soap is basic, it breaks down the oils left on the grip? What are everyone's thoughts/opinions?

Golfspy_CG2 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 To re-grip annually, would mean I'd need to keep the set for more than a year...is that correct There was a time I played one set for over two years, and I think I had them regripped once.

GolfSpy MPR Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've found that it really depends on the grips. I bought my Adams XTD Tours with Iomic grips on them. I have really liked these grips, and see no reason to change them after a season's use. I had another set of grips (from Champ) that, after a season, got hard and slick and just had to go.

MDGolfHacker Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 For me, it depends. I regrip them when they need to be regripped, i.e. Show wear or develops a shine. I clean my grips after every round so they tend to last longer. MDGolfHacker What's In This Lefty's Bag?

hckymeyer Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 It all depends on how much you play and how well you take care of your equipment. Also as mentioned some grips just last longer than others. I can usually get a few seasons out of grips, but like Carolina it's rare that a club lasts longer than the grip. My SLDR driver is the only contender (4 years and still going) and I've regripped it once or twice.

STUDque Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I feel like the companies are doing a heck of a job manufacturing more durable grips these days. I'm not as much of a ho as the rest here and still have never needed to change a grip because of wear. The first thing I do when I get a club is swap the grip. I just don't want someone else's hand juice. If I change a grip after that, it's because I'm in the mood to try something else. I finally decided to take the plunge on a removal tool because it just seemed like a waste to ditch good grips. My irons are entering their 7th season in my bag. I just changed the grips for the first time since I've had them. I didn't even change them because of wear....I changed them because I wanted to try something different. If I had the tool at the time, I could've saved the grips and let someone else benefit too! As others have said, results may vary but your grips will last as long as you take care of them. I clean mine with dish soap once or twice during the year but that's about it. I do hoe my grips though.

Flipper554 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I change them at the beginning of the season, and then again in June or July as I play well over 100 rounds plus practice every year. I just like the feel of new grips.

Miketheripper Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is a subject I've been thinking about lately, my grips always seem to stay in relatively good shape, while my brothers grips seem to wear out very fast, some of this may be due to the fact that he does not wear a glove, and possibly grip pressure, he's a caresser, and I'm a Strangler.
