Whats up everyone, I was just wondering if any of you wash your grips and if you do so, what is your method of washing them and how often do you wash them? I just got a new set of clubs and would like to make the grips last as long as I can so any info on if this practice is helpful or harmful to the grips would be greatly appreciated.

zebrasinamerica,

A touch of dishwashing soap in a bucket combined with a green scotchbrite scouring pad works wonders for cleaning grips. The scotchbrite is abrasive enough to get rid of dirt and rough up the grip a bit, but not so abrasive that it actually removes any of the rubber. This works wonders on cord grips especially, removing all the dirt, oils, and bringing some of the cord material back to the surface. Just remember to rinse them thoroughly with clean water when done. You don't want your clubs to start lathering when you're at the range.

G-C I tried the scotch brite pad on my wedge that the grip was awful on and it worked like a charm, it's got a cord grip on it and it feels like new again. One question though, will this method work on Tour Velvets also?

thanks

Zebra,

Glad to hear it worked. It will most definately work for standard rubber grips. However, you will likely need to repeat the process more often to restore the tack and remove dirt and oil. Also, don't forget that traditional rubber grips need to be replaced more frequently than cord grips, so keep that in mind. All grips have a lifespan, and once they reach their limit, no amount of washing will help.

Hi,

I used very hot water to clean my fairly new Tour Velvet grips - no soap - and the tackiness is gone. I'll try your Scotchbrite solution, but any other suggestions (besided new grips)?

Why question the quality and cleanliness of your grips and gloves?

They're the connectors to those top quality clubs one has chosen to put in one's bag. If those connectors slip even as much as a micro-millimeter...

I regrip probably too much (yet clean them religiously). But I don't spend a lot on equipment changes either.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
