I have played 116 rounds this year and had 3 sets of grips on. Normally I do not change them that often. However I wanted to try different grips. I have settled on Tour Velvet Mid Size for now.

The key to not having to change them often? Clean them after every 3rd round. I use SIMPLE GREEN, a spray on cleaner and it works wonders. I once played close to 300 rounds on a set of Golf Pride Tour Velvets that I cleaned constantly with Simple Green. They were still tacky when I yanked them off, but starting to harden up.

Keep your grips clean and you will get more rounds out of them.

Simple Green, spray it on, brush your grips with a plastic brush. Rinse the Simple Green off and let them air dry. Of course if you have WINN grips this will not work!

As my playing time isn't what it once was, I generally regrip about every 2 years. I do it in the spring before the start of the tournament season. IMO, it is essential to have good grips if you expect to play with any degree of consistency. Slick or hard grips force you to squeeze the club too tightly, and it's almost impossible to make a free swing if you have a death grip on the club. I've seen guys make a swing with a driver and lose their grip so badly that the club flies farther than the ball...

Yes and no...

Larger grips can restrict over active hand action and help you straighten out some faults, but then oversized grips can also retard wrist action and cause you to lose some distance. You have to find a happy medium.

I have very large hands and use the Golf Pride Tour Wrap Midsize grip, certainly larger than many, but certainly not as large as some arthritic grips. For me, the midsize is about "right" and I feel like I fit it with no compromises.
