Golf Grips
Golf grips are an easy to miss aspect of your game but easily noticed when your hands slip during the swing. When golf grips are first placed on your clubs, they are tacky and provide you with instant grip comfort, especially when paired with a golf glove. However, over time with the oil from your hands and the weather conditions playing a part, they newness over time begins to lack.
After 12 rounds, I would recommend hot water, dish soap, and a washcloth to scrub your grips to renew them to their original tackiness, removing the oil that has been placed on them from your rounds. That is the easy fix to keep your grips new and lasting.
That is not the reason for this blog post though. As the grip pressure varies from golfer to golfer, some grips get worn faster. This is similar to tires on a vehicle and driving aggression. So, in these instances, noticing extreme wear on a grip is important to determining a change in grip pressure or a need for a more durable grip.
Thankfully, grip makers like Golf Pride have varying grip consistencies to match your grip pressure and ensure long use of your grips before time and the elements meet their demise.
