Regripping in orange and white grips tomorrow. Hope to get some Butch mojo

What you getting? I have the new decades on all mine & the orange & black on everything but my driver & 3 wood. Driver has a white & black new decade whiteout & 3 wood has black & yellow new decade. Wish they had a white & orange whiteout.

I asked them for the best grips for the summer heat. I've had a little trouble holding onto the club the last couple of rounds and even tried 2 gloves today. I just got the Mizuno irons a few months ago, but never really like the grips that came with the sticks.
How many rounds will a set a grips last?
I don't know the name of them.

I guess it depends on how much you play but the golf pride new decade should last at least a season or 2. The upper half is cord & lower half is rubber. Best all around grip for all conditions IMO.

 

[Spartacavolus]

The top one is the one. Right now, I'm getting in @ 60-70 rounds a year and am going through grips once a year. I don't think I changed grips more than twice in my previous 12 years of playing.

If you're playing that much you might get a year out of them or just change the ones that need it as needed. It's a really good grip though.

They're not orange, but I use the Winn dry tac grips. They're awesome.

 

[bamacheats]

Greens were punched 10 days ago. Growing in pretty fast though, this time next week they should be perfect. Bumpy greens today but light years better than they used to be.

Shot an 81. I've never broken 80 at River Islands. Got close, but doubled 17.

I've got Winn dritacs on every club, except putter. Great grips!

do you wipe them down after a round...I've found that helps prolong the life, but if your playing upwards of 70 rounds a year, you should probably regrip every year

Do you have the regular or midsize?

Wiping grips down does not prolong the life in them but does make them feel tackier. It’s not the dirt from one’s hand that wears them down, but how much they are handled & type of climate they are stored.
Want your grips to feel “as new”, wipe em down good with Windex. Oil & grime from the hands build up on them if not cleaned. Windex removes this & dries quickly. Spray a white washcloth with the Windex, wipe good & see how grime is removed

I use windex & a scrub brush & run them under hot water to rinse & towel dry.

I also occasionally use rubbing alcohol

Rubbing alcohol known as isopropyl alcohol is not a cleaner. Using of it on rubber will deteriorate it over time

 

[volmanbill]

I just use soapy water and a stiff brush as needed. Towel dry when done. They come out nice and tacky.

 

[GAVol]

Take a big towel. Wet one end of it. Before each shot give the grip a quick swipe with the wet end followed by a swipe with the dry end. Voila .... a tacky grip for each shot.

 

[bamacheats]

I never clean grips. I rarely wear a glove. How the heck are you guys gripping the club to worry about tacky grips?

In hot humid weather you tend to sweat. Grips get wet. Sometimes it rains. Grips get wet.

 

[Spartacavolus]

I'm a lover. I have soft hands and have used a lot of lotion. When it gets humid, the club just slides in my right hand a little. I've also broken my hand and my pinky finger is permanently out of place
I've never cleaned grips before. Didn't really think about it. I will now. Those things aren't cheap

I keep a glove for wet weather. I guess my hands don't sweat like normal.

I have about 10 gloves & I rotate 3 or 4 a round. Next round I rotate 3 or 4 different ones. Always a fresh glove & they last much longer.

I recommend a dermatology appointment.
