so i've had my wedge for about 2yrs, and im wondering if i should be looking to change the grip. i dont play that much, maybe about 2 range sessions per week, and 2 rounds per month. i do notice that compare to the other grips, this one is more slippery. some websites suggest to change your grip every 6months or so. just curious about how much difference a new grip would make.

also ive been thinking about doing grips myself. however, golfsmith only charges about 3dollars for installation. i understand that if i regrip my entire set, that would save some money. but if it's just 1 club, it probably doesnt make much sense. what do you guys think?

i change mine after every season .. i also play competitively though. i'd probably do yours every other season if you dont want to spend the money every season. if money isnt an issue, do it every season for sure.

one thing you can try is taking super hot water ... and a hard kitchen scrub brush and scrub the grip ... this makes them extra tacky ... i even do this on my brand new grips ... it'll make a grip i just purchased more sticky than it was brand new. i do this before every event i play in(one a week).

When your wedge ends up on the green along with your ball after your swing, it's time to change grips, or as soon as you can see the chrome on the shaft shine through, LOL

Annual grip changes are good. You can stretch that a bit with corded grips.

The cords on my iron & wedges are now 12 months old and I'll most likely
change them to GPride NDMC before this summer.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
