Before I do this myself I thought I'd toss this one out to the Sand Trap Community. Is regripping a putter any different then regripping any other club? And if so what do I need to pay special attention to?

I've regripped everything else in my bag and it's time to regrip my horrific looking Yes! putter with a real grip! I'm just a little concerned I may screw it up since I've never attempted to regrip a putter before.

It does, and that's what worries me. All my other grips line up to make the club square and they're all accurate. I've just never used a grip that has a flat edge like a putter grip.

I eyeball mine and have never had a problem. A strip of blue painters tape across the head can make it easy to line it up. I did that on my 2ball because it doesn't have a line across the top. It's easier than lining up a putt, you'll be fine. Use a lot of solvent so you can twist it until you are comfortable it's right.

I think I used the flat spot of the grip on a table and a bubble level checking vertically against the putter face to confirm mine last time I did one.

Save yourself some trouble and go with a round grip.

I use this grip, with a tone of build up tape, i like a larger putting grip because it stabilizes the wrists for me.  But i don't have to worry about re-gripping problems.

For me, i also put lead tape under the grip as i re-grip. I will run led tape down the whole length of the putter grip, then put the regripping double sided tape over top. This acts as a counter weight for me, and it stabilizes my putting stroke even more. I use to have issues were i couldn't take the clubhead back consistently. Adding weight in the grip has helped a ton.

This may be a given, but the table needs to be horizontally level as well.

I just eyeball it, after a few putts across the carpet you can tell if you need to tweak it. I have Super Strokes on all my putters and that makes a minor twist very easy.

Well not necessarily, because the table is pretty much flat, so as long as what your using to measure the squareness of your putter face is level to the table, you can rotate that table how ever you want.

I've regripped a fair share of clubs and am very confident with it, I've just never regripped a putter before. Not that it's expensive, but where I live in South Dakota it ranges from $3-5 per club for labor. That's why I learned how to do it myself!

I've never seen 1.50-3.00 per club. Usually 5 dollars is the minimum per club, that i have seen.

So for 13 clubs, your looking at $65 dollars + grip cost

If you have the grip and supplies it's really cheap. Never seen it for a buck but I have seen $2 or thereabouts before per club.

I also had never gripped a putter before I tried it. everything worked out fine just took my time and double checked the grip with the putter face against a wall to verify a straight correctly aligned grip.

I finally got my new Winn grip in the mail today and installed it.  The installation went smoothly, looks and feels like it's on straight.  I'm going golfing tomorrow so if my putting is bad I'm going to blame it on my grip not being aligned.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By boogielicious ·

      I agree with @pganapathy about removing some clubs. I would recommend removing the 2, 3, 4 and 5 irons for now. Play with Driver 3W 5W 3H 5H 6 iron 7 iron 8 iron 9 iron PW ( you don’t have listed) 52 56 Putter Th 60 wedge can be difficult for new players, but you could keep that If your 3H is adjustable, increased the loft to be more like a 4H. Play with these on course and see if you can get a feel of the actual yardages for each club and especially the gaps between them. It may take 10 or more rounds. A par 3 course is helpful for determining the gaps in the irons and some woods too. A device like a Shot Scope H4 can really help give you your actual yardage on course.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
