Regrip a Golf Club

How to Know When You Should Regrip Your Golf Club

The frequency at which you should regrip your golf club depends on various factors such as the type of player you are and usage.

Recreational Player: If you play golf once a week for leisure or once a month, regripping your club once a season should be sufficient for someone who plays less than 4 hours a week.

Membership Player: If you have a club membership and play a couple days a week, regripping your club more frequently will be beneficial to maintain a good grip on the club. Club members should every two to six months, taking personal discretion into consideration.

Semi-Pro/Pro: The amount of wear and tear the handle sees can dictate when to regrip. Regripping every six weeks to two months can help prevent blisters from constant rearranging of the grip.

For beginners, here is a checklist to determine when to regrip:

• Has your grip lost its tenacity?
• Is there any tearing on the grip?
• Is there any black residue on your hands after playing?

If any of these are a ‘yes’, it may be time to consider regripping. Regripping is an affordable way to rejuvenate your golf club and provide a comfortable hold on the handle once again.

The Benefits of Regripping

• Cost Effective: Buying a new golf club can be expensive, ranging from $35 to $150. Regripping with a self-fusing silicone wrap like Tommy Tape Grip Wrap can bring your favorite club back to life for only $9.99, even before every game if needed.
• Custom Grip: With the silicone wrap, you can customize the grip to your preference. There is a lot of variation that can be done with the wrap, allowing you to be creative and wrap it to be thicker or thinner, depending on your preference.
• Better Hold: With a new tacky grip, you never have to worry about the club slipping out of your hands during a game. This allows you to focus on your swing and technique rather than keeping the club in your hand.

Step by Step Guide on How to Regrip Your Golf Club:

1:

Remove the old grip: Depending on the grip, it can be unwrapped or slid off.

2:

Clean the handle: Check for any dirt or leftover adhesive on the handle and clean it thoroughly. The surface needs to be sleek and flat to perfectly put the grip on.

3:

Prepare the new grip: Take the new silicone wrap out and prepare to wrap it around the club. Peel back about 5 inches of the plastic backing on the wrap. The wrap is self-fusing, so there’s no adhesive mess. However, be cautious not to tangle the wrap while wrapping to avoid fusing and making it difficult to undo.

4:

Wrap the butt: Take the unwrapped part of the grip and wrap it completely around the butt of the handle. Then, begin spinning the club while holding the grip firmly and overlapping the grip as you go. Stretch the grip if you prefer a tighter wrap or keep it loose by not stretching it as far.

5:

Seal the top: Once the grip is wrapped all the way up the handle, make any changes to the top, such as cutting off excess or lumpy sections. Then, wrap silicone tape around the top to seal it and ensure it does not unravel.
