Welcome to this week's newsletter. 

Re-gripping

I thought this week we would talk to you about re-gripping. We have had a number of customers come into the shop asking me when and if they should get their clubs re-gripped.

Why re-grip?

Over time golf grips naturally wear out and deteriorate due to factors such as temperature, dirt, oils from your hands and how tightly you hold the club. Re-gripping is also essential to make sure the correct size and materials are used.

When to re-grip 

Some of the leading grip manufacturers recommend that grips are changed after 30-40 rounds or annually, whichever is the sooner. A grip should always be replaced at the first sign of noticeable wear, including: 

- Smooth, hard surfaces 
- Cracks 
- Shiny patches 
- Wear spots, especially where the thumbs make contact 
- Faded or bare spots on grips that have been painted or have logos 
- Complete loss of tack

Importance of re-gripping 

Nowadays, the golf grip is seen by many purely as a fashion accessory and less consideration is given to making sure they have the correct size and material. As with all components of the golf club the grip should be fitted to suit each individual's needs. 

If you are not sure if your clubs need re-gripping please come in and let Jack or myself check if you need to change and whilst we are at it we can also check to see if they are currently the correct size for you.

Did you know? 

If your grips are too small or too big your 'Hold' of the Club will be affected and therefore the direction and distance of your shots can be affected. 

How much does it cost? 

Individual grips cost from £5.99- £11.99 fitted depending on what type of grip you would like. 

There are also discounts available if you are getting more than 6 Clubs done at the same time. One customer who had their Driver re-gripped this week said that it 'felt like a brand new Club'- it's true it really did! 

We look forward to seeing you soon
