Grip Care

The proper care can extend the life of your grips

Taking extra care of your grips can extend their life and maximize performance. Learn how to care for your grips properly below.

Clean Your Grips Regularly

Cleaning your grips after a game and at the end of the season is important, but doing so regularly during play can be the real game changer. View some cleaning tips below.

Check Your Grips for Wear

At the end of the day, grips do wear out, and nothing improves your game like a fresh set. At least once a year, make sure you check your grips for signs of wear or consult our wear guide.

Store Your Grips Correctly

Store your clubs in a cool dry place away from sunlight. A basement, closet, or climate-controlled garage is ideal for storage.

Tips for Maintaining Clean Grips

Clean between rounds Thoroughly cleaning your grips between rounds with a soft brush, soap and water will help ensure they stay fresh for longer.

Keep your hands clean Ensuring your hands are free of dirt and oils during play will help your grips perform best. Wipe your hands with water and a clean towel to prevent residue transfer to your grips.

Dry your grips thoroughly Moisture is the enemy when it comes to keeping your grips feeling new. Dry them off thoroughly after washing or during a wet game.

Shield your grips from UV Long sun exposure and heat are damaging to your grips. Try to keep your clubs shaded or in your golf bag when not in use to protect them from damage over time.

End of Season Checklist

Check your equipment

After your last round, take a moment to assess your gear. If your equipment is looking worse for the wear, make a list for what you need to get new for the next season. Look for:

Fading or wear in your grips
Loose or bent clubs
Chips and nicks in your gear
Cracked leather or frayed bag
Broken tees and balls

Store your gear

Make sure your gear is stored in a cool, safe place for the off-season to ensure the longevity of your equipment. Here are some tips: ️

Store your gear in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat
Remove any liquids or snacks from your bag
Stabilize your bag to prevent damage from tipping or jostling around

Clean your gear

Use the guide above to thoroughly clean your grips and clubs during and after each game. Use a vacuum to clean out your bag, if it’s leather, give it a polish to keep it from cracking. If you are not able to get a thorough clean on your gear, it might be a sign of wear and time to replace your equipment.
