As we come to the end of this years golfing season and move towards the damp, wet, windy and cold days of the autumn and winter I would recommend that you get your clubs re-gripped. If your grips are worn, shiny or slippy this time of year will really put you and them to the test!
Playing with clubs that need to be re-gripped will instinctively cause you to tighten your grip more than normal. This will affect your ability to make a good contact with the ball through deadening a lot of feeling in the hands. In addition if you have any hand, elbow or arm injuries gripping tighter than you need to will not help.
Whether you are the type to put your clubs away until the new season starts or you continue playing during these months just ask your local professional to check your grips. Even if you intend to hang up your golfing shoes for the winter then getting your clubs regripped before putting them away will be one job you won’t have to think about for next season.
It’s easy to put off getting them done but in my experience, if your clubs have not been re-gripped for some time you will really feel the difference when you do. Just have a feel of the grips on the new clubs in your local Proshop! It costs on average around £5 a club with many local Proshops offering deals on a full set. So don’t delay get them done straight away!
