How often do you guys and gals change your grips?

To be honest it is something that I neglect a lot, it was only when my grip could twist full 360 degrees on my 3 wood did I start paying attention.

If you have old clubs and your grips are worn, it may well be worth the cost to have your clubs re-gripped, especially through winter.

I have never had a club grip changed but then I have only owned two sets my entire life (my current and my old junior set.) I did ask the friendly teller at my local shop how much it would cost for a new set of grips and was amazed at how cheap it really would be. Only $2.50 for labor + the cost of the grip (on each club of course)

Its something worth keeping an eye on, for the small cost it could help improve your game.

Especially if you like me, play golf in all weathers.

About once each 2 years, or 40 rounds. You really don't notice them wearing away. When you regrip your driver, it's amazing how much easier it is to swing. As you use that most, regrip it first. I buy a $20 grip kit and do all my clubs myself.

Exactly right, you can probably pick up everything you need from ebay, even the grips themselves.

If you are going to go down this route, make sure you put the grips the right way around as there is a 'reminder' (a tiny ridge) which runs down the underside of the grip. Unless someone points this out to you, you may not ever have noticed before.

The purpose of the ridge is to get your hands into the correct position, i.e. the reminder runs down the inside of your knuckles.

im new enough to the sport to never have re-gripped a golf club.

i re-gripped a cricket bat though.

I use the Golf Pride Tour Wrap Midsize grip and find it seems to last quite a while. Of course, I'm just a weekend golfer now, so I'm not using them as often as I used to.

My old clubs felt perfectly comfortable to me until I got new clubs and changed the grips. THEN it was obvious that the old grips weren't very tacky anymore, not that it mattered to me. The grips on the old clubs were about 5 years old, but that was 2 years of frequent play and 3 years sitting in the closet while I didn't play at all.

I change my grips once a month during the summer and at the beginning of every year. I love the feel of new grips and I wear them down fast during the summer with the amount of balls i hit
