This may be a dumb question, but I was curious if it is customary to tip for having my clubs regripped?

I ordered the grips at the club's pro shop and asked the head pro if he could change them for me - which he happily agreed to do.

I just dont want to insult him either way.

If they charge you to replace the grips I'd say no tip is required.  If you just pay for the grips, then I'd give the guy something for doing you the favor.

I know this is an old topic, but I would say “heck no” on a gratuity.  
 

I literally just re-gripped my clubs last week.  I wanted to support my golf club, so I asked what they would charge.  For a Winn Dri-Tac, it would have been $12 per club.  I told them I put them on myself, but they said the charge was the same whether they put it on, or I did.

I got the grips elsewhere for $7.00 and did it myself.  Mind you, I already had grip tape and solution to use.

I’m guessing they mark the prices up enough to cover their labor charges.

On a side note, I find re-gripping my clubs to be satisfying.  In a weird way, it makes me feel like I am taking care of my clubs.  It’s fairly simple and I don’t even use a vice or an air compressor.    Yeah, it might take me 2 hours to do it by the time I get all the old tape off and clean the shaft, but it’s just soothing to me.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
