The ideal putter grip depends on your personal preference, hand size, and putting style. If you struggle with wrist movement during putts, a larger, midsize or oversized grip can help stabilize your hands and promote a smoother stroke. Golfers with smaller hands or those who prefer more feel might opt for a standard grip. Additionally, grips come in various shapes like pistol, round, or flat-front, each influencing hand placement and control. It’s a good idea to try a few different styles at your local pro shop or during a fitting session to see which one feels most natural and improves your consistency on the greens.
Can I regrip my clubs?
Yes, you can absolutely regrip your golf clubs, and it's a smart move to keep your game sharp. Over time, grips can wear out, becoming slick and less effective, which affects your control and swing consistency. Most golfers should regrip their clubs at least once a year, or every 40 rounds, depending on how often they play and practice. Regripping is a straightforward process you can do at home with the right tools and supplies, or you can have it professionally done at a golf shop. Fresh grips enhance comfort, improve traction, and give you better feedback on each shot.
How to clean golf grips?
Cleaning your golf grips is simple and keeps them feeling like new. Start by filling a bucket with warm, soapy water using mild dish soap. Dip a soft cloth or brush into the water and gently scrub the grips to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. Avoid soaking the grips directly. After scrubbing, wipe them down with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Finally, dry the grips thoroughly with a towel and let them air dry for a few hours before your next round. Regular cleaning improves grip performance and extends their lifespan.
