Grip Wear

Worn grips lose traction and tackiness over time, which can lead to added tension in your swing. Replacing your grips can make a bigger impact on your game than you think.

Spotting Signs of Wear

Grip Cosmetics Are Worn Or Missing

If you play grips like the MCC or CP2 that feature white, blue, red, or other colors of paint fill, a clear sign of grip wear is when that paint starts to disappear or discolor.

Slick Grips

The most obvious sign of worn grips is a slick, glossy feel and appearance. You may also notice that your grips feel firmer than they should be. Slick grips make it hard to control the clubface during the swing and can lead to inconsistency.

Crumbling Rubber or Cord

If you notice that the rubber or cord in your golf grips is starting to crumble, your grips are overdue for a change. Golfers often notice extreme wear where their thumbs are placed on the top half of the grip.

Seeing Signs Of Wear? It’s Time to Regrip.

Your grips are the only piece of equipment you touch on every single swing, making it crucial that they remain in good shape. Just like your golf shoes, grips wear down over time and should be replaced to ensure they don't hinder your game.

  How Often Should I Regrip?

We recommend regripping at least once a year. That number can change depending on how much you get out on the course or range. While regular cleanings can help extend the lifespan of your grips, grips aren’t meant to last forever. So if they are looking worn, it’s time for a change.

When Should I Regrip My Putter?

The same things that affect swing grips – like weather, dirt, sweat, and oils – can also affect your putter grip. Putting with confidence starts with a comfortable grip. That’s why we recommend checking regularly for similar signs of wear on your putter grip. If your putter grip has lost traction and the graphics are worn or faded – it’s time for a new one.
