grips

i know your grip can be very important when it comes to making good shots. my grips are worn out with about a season and a half of play but, i wont be able to replace them for a few weeks. Does anyone know of any tricks to get the tackyness of new grips back into old ones? mine just feel to loose in my hands.

Hi Shame
after each round i give my grips a rubbing with very fine sand paper and then srcub them with a nailbrush and warm soapy water. Keeps them tacky and provided your grips aren't over worn , especially where your fingers and thumbs contact the grip, you should get an extra few months out of them.........

when you say fine do you mean 250 grit fine or 1000 grit fine?

Hi mate
250 will do the job...Remember not to over do it

wow thx my grips are better now than theve been ina long time and it didnt cost me $40

Glad to have been of help

I've developed a routine of cleaning my clubs after every round once I get home. I've got the classic 2 sided club brush (brass bristles on one side, stiff nylon on the other). I use the brass brush and a wet towel on the heads, and then rinse the grips and brush them with the nylon side. A quick drop through a dry towel, and they're fine. No sandpaper needed.

It was a bit late for his grips,,sandpaper works great on old grips, as he said , they are now great.

Good point, and one I overlooked. But if you wash your grips regularily, you get to avoid the sandpaper.

is that true for all grips? cord/leather/rubber/synthetic

For an actual leather grip, I've heard (gripmaster USA) that saddle soap and water is best.

For everything else, soap and water is fine, and a good scrub.

I prefer just water, myself.

If you are playing "designer" clubs and want them re-gripped with company logo. more fool you! Why pay around double normal price and give them free advertising. My reccomendation? Lamkin crossover, I used to favour Avon nexus, for some reason they are no longer available .Both grips are well priced and very durable.
