Golf Grips - Standard Size Anti-Slip Golf Club Grips for Regripping, 2-14 Pack

Description

Golf grips are the rubber sleeves on the butt end of every club, and they are the only part of the club you actually touch. These are standard size grips in a rubber and cotton cord blend, 270mm long, sold in packs of 2 through to 14 - one club, a few wedges, or the whole bag in an afternoon.

Worn grips are the cheapest problem in golf to fix and the one most people ignore for years. Once the surface goes shiny and hard, your hands stop trusting the club, so you squeeze tighter to stop it turning through impact. That tension runs up the forearms and into the swing, and the result is a hook or a block that has nothing to do with your technique. New grips will not fix a swing fault, but they take away the reason you were holding the club like a hammer in the first place.

What's in the Box

Why Cord Grips Hold When Smooth Rubber Gives Up

• Cotton cord through the rubber - the thread breaks up the surface so your hands have something to key into. Smooth rubber is fine until it gets damp; cord keeps working when the morning dew has not burnt off yet.
• They absorb the shock wave - the rubber and cord blend soaks up the sting that travels back up the shaft on a thin strike, which your hands and elbows notice long before your scorecard does.
• No fading - the colour holds up under Australian sun instead of going chalky in one summer sitting in the boot of the car.
• Built to wear slowly - anti-aging rubber with good elasticity, so they stay soft rather than going hard and glazed after a few dozen rounds.
• Buy only what you need - a 2 pack for the two wedges you actually use, or a 14 pack to do the entire bag in one sitting for less per grip.

How Often Should You Regrip Your Golf Clubs?

The rule of thumb most club golfers go by is once a season, but the club will tell you before the calendar does. Run your thumb hard across the grip: if it feels tacky and grabs back, it is fine. If it feels slick, glazed or glossy, or you can see the pattern worn flat where your right hand sits, it is done. Play year round, sweat a lot, or leave the bag in a hot car and it will happen sooner. The clubs you hit most - driver, seven iron, pitching wedge - always go first, which is why plenty of players regrip those three and leave the rest.

How Do You Change a Golf Grip?

Slice the old grip off lengthwise with a hook blade, working away from yourself, then peel off the old double sided tape and any residue left on the shaft. Wrap fresh grip tape down the shaft, soak the inside of the new grip and the taped shaft with grip solvent, then push the new grip on in one continuous movement - it has to go on before the solvent flashes off, so commit to it. Line the logo up square, adjust while it is still wet, then stand the club up and leave it a few hours before you swing it. Grip tape and solvent are not included with these grips; you will need both, plus a hook blade.

How Many Grips Do You Need for a Full Set?

The rules of golf cap you at 14 clubs in the bag, which is exactly why the pack sizes here run to 14. Most players carry between 12 and 14, so a 12 or 14 pack covers a complete regrip with nothing left over. If you are only doing the clubs that see the most work, a 4 or 6 pack usually covers the driver, the mid irons and the wedges. Count what is actually in your bag before you order rather than guessing.

Who Buys These

Weekend players whose clubs are perfectly good but have been on the same grips since they bought them. People who picked up a second hand set and want it to feel like theirs. Juniors growing into a hand-me-down bag. Driving range regulars who wear grips out faster than anyone because they hit a hundred balls a session and never change clubs. And anyone who has just worked out that a full regrip costs less than a single new wedge and does more for how the club feels in their hands.

Pair It With

If you practise at home or at the range, the 8pk Rubber Driving Range Golf Tees and Foam Practice Golf Balls let you hit into the back yard without breaking anything. The 2M Stainless Steel Golf Ball Retriever pays for itself the first time you find a sleeve of balls in the water hazard. A Perma-Curve Sun Visor Cap is worth having in the bag for summer rounds, and the Adjustable Hand Grip Strength Trainer is a cheap way to build the forearm strength that lets you hold the club lightly instead of throttling it. For the golfer who has everything, the Toilet Golf Putting Game and the Golf Club Toilet Brush are the novelty gifts that always land.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are these golf grips?
Standard, sometimes listed as medium - 270mm long and 3mm thick. Standard is the size the large majority of clubs come fitted with from the factory, so unless you have specifically been fitted for midsize or jumbo grips, standard is what you want.

Can I choose the colour?
No. Colours are supplied at random from blue, grey, red, green and orange, so we cannot guarantee a particular colour or a matching set. If having all 14 identical matters to you, this is not the right listing - the trade-off for the price is that you take what comes.

Do these fit all golf clubs?
They fit standard golf club shafts, which covers the overwhelming majority of irons, woods, hybrids and drivers. Very thin or very thick aftermarket shafts can need a different internal diameter, so if you are running something unusual, measure before you order.

Do I need grip tape and solvent?
Yes, and neither is included. You need double sided grip tape, grip solvent or mineral spirits, and a hook blade to cut the old grips off. All three are cheap and available from any golf shop or hardware store.

Can you regrip a putter with these?
You can physically fit one, but putter grips are usually a different shape - flatter on the front and often much thicker - because a putting stroke is not a golf swing. These are club grips, so they are best used on your irons, woods and hybrids.

How long do golf grips last?
It depends far more on how often you play and where you store the clubs than on how old they are. Clubs left in a hot car or a sunny shed age much faster than clubs kept inside. Once the surface goes glossy and slick under your thumb, they are finished regardless of the date on them.

Are cord grips better than smooth rubber grips?
They grip better when your hands or the club are wet, which is why cord and part-cord grips are popular with players who go out in all conditions. Smooth rubber feels softer against bare hands. These are a blend, so they sit between the two - textured enough to hold, soft enough to be comfortable on a full round.
