Time for a new grip?

With March right around the corner, you can practically hear golfers all over the country heading to the garage to wipe the dust off their clubs.

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just getting into golf, it’s the perfect time of year to get ahead of springtime and start the warmer months on the right foot.

One aspect of your gear you may be overlooking is the condition of your clubs’ grips. If you’ve never had your clubs regripped, your clubs could be losing their effectiveness. The last thing you want is to set up to the ball but have your fingers slip in your backswing, your ball could go anywhere!

We recommend you change your grips every 40 rounds, and if you’re among the 90% of our readers who said they play golf weekly, that’s once every 10 months.

Getting your clubs regripped is a quick, cheap, and easy process that you'll certainly benefit from. Here's another question to ponder ahead of getting new golf grips...

What's your grip size?

It may not have been the kind of thing you’ve ever given much thought to, but are you sure you’re playing with the correct grip size?

Grips come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Generally speaking, smaller grips are ideal for juniors, ladies, and people with smaller hands while oversized grips suit players with larger hands.

Playing with a grip that’s not quite the right size for you will negatively impact your game. For example, if you’re playing with a grip that’s too small for you, you may be holding the grip tighter than you need to, putting more emphasis into your wrists and increasing the chance of you mis-hitting the ball.

If your grip is too big for your hands, your clubs will be less wieldy and you’ll lose power when hitting through the ball.

It really is the best time of year to get your equipment and practice routine in order ahead of the Spring competitions. In the pro shop we can help you find the right grip in the right size for you. Feel free to reach out to us if you're considering getting your clubs regripped.
