I have begun the process of regripping all my clubs, Wedges, irons, woods & driver. I was atleast a year overdue on all of them, considering all the clubs are about 2 to 4 years old.

The problem I am having is in the off season I bought a 7 wood and promply replaced the grip with a new callaway grip, which at the time matched all my other grips.

Now I have replaced all my grips with the Golf Pride Multi-compound (red, yellow, orange, blue & white. They are colour coordinated depending on where they reside in my bag).


Anyway my dilema is this, knowing that I have a perfectly good & unused grip on my 7 wood, do I give in to my neurosis and regrip it just to this club look like all the others?

Or do I save the $9 for the grip and just have this 1 be the "black sheep" of the bag?

I know either way I go I will have regrets for either re-gripping and spending the money or not doing it.

Secondly, am I as Neurotic as my wife tells me I am, for wanting all my golf grips to be the same.
My Neurosis also shows up with other golf related choices, but that is a topic for another day!

When they're in the bag, who can see the difference?  Do you routinely have more than one club out for display purposes?  Re-grip the club if you are unhappy with it's performance.  My wedges have red crosslines.  They don't match anything else in the bag.  They perform as they should, so I won't change them until they wear out.  I may upgrade them to NDMC's like the rest of my clubs, but i won't go out of my way to waste a perfectly new grip if I like it's feel/performance.  Although, I think you may have already made up your mind about it, so yes, go ahead and change it! To me a 'black sheep" in the bag would be a club that does not live up to my expectations.  I have to ask though.....  You said they are color coordinated as to their location in the bag.  How do you know, if the grips are in the bottom of the bag?

I understand what you are saying and if it was me I'd regrip the 7 wood if that is the only one that is off.

My entire set use to have the same grips before they got stolen... on the new clubs I have the kind of a mix with the driver and wedges being traditional velvet grips, the irons being NDMCs and my 3w and hybrids with the stock Wilson grips...  I'm kind of ok with it since each "type" of club has the same grip as others in that type (i.e. all irons are the same, wedges the same, etc.) but I'm felling the urge to get them all the same again.

As far as knowing what club has what grip when they are at the bottom of the bag. I guess I just know.

I have them all arranged by where they reside in my bag. I have an Ogio Grom with a woode top. Therefore I have 3 slots for irons which run horizontal, and 4 spots for woods which runs vertical.

Each Slot has its own color for the clubs that reside there ( bottom-60/54/50=yellow, middle- PW/9/8=red, Top-7/6/5= blue) the 3 wood is orange, driver is white.

It is not about knowing that they are the same or different, it is about pulling one out that does match the other's in feel, responsiveness etc.

However having grown up dirt poor, I know the value of a dollar and I am thankful for what I have and do my best not to just throw $ away.

You think this is bad, you should see me try to find a pair of golf shoes that fit and feel like the worn out ones I am replacing.

Mind you it also took me 2 months of testing clubs (every set multiple times) before I decided on the right set.

I think there is a little bit of Neurosis in all of us, more so with golfers.

As my local pro told me "your a golfer, you will never be happy"!

All my grips must be the same.  Knowing me, I'd subconsciously be thinking "this is different" and Lord knows I have enough stuff rambling around up there during my swing.  Don't need anything extra.

You're fretting obsessively over this and all you're really talking about is just regripping one club for a whopping $9?    If you don't, every time you pull that club out of the bag you're going to think of its different grip and obsess on that during your swing.   Just do it.....

I tend to do this too, but what I find is that when on the course you don't give any thought at all to the grip. It's only when you have them all lined up that you think about it.

My feeling is that on the coures you're thinking about golf and at home you're thinking about golf equipment.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I would regrip it so they would all be the same.  The only ones I sometimes have different might be my wedges.

You could also get a new club to replace it with the proper grip installed... It's not the most economical option but it saves you wasting the grip.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind.
