101 club grip maintenance!

Hey all you mad Trucking Golfers,

If you want to play better golf then you have to do a little bit of club maintenance, ie: keeping your grips clean, throughout the season, sweat, dirt and grime will inevitably get within the gloves of the grip, this can lead to smelly, dirty grips, inconsistent ball striking (grip might slip in your hands) and dirty smudged marks all over your hands.

A great idea is to keep the grips clean, this could also lead to the longevity of the grip itself.

If your a proper clean freak then you would probably clean them after every round, however once a month is sufficient.

Hope this helps guys & gals.

Drive safe, take care and look after your golf gear.

So, if you’re like thousands or one of the millions of golfers around the world that come home from around a golf and your non-glove hand is looking a bit dirty, black, marked all over, it might be a good indication that your grips might need cleaning. So, here’s what we do. Step one, bowl of lukewarm water, soapy water, not too hot. Get them suds. Get them suds. Not too hot. Step two, go outside. It’s a lovely day. Make the most of it. Step three, nail brush. Make sure you got a nail brush or something with bristles on is ideal. Really, not too firm. Yeah, nice and soft. Now, for the final part, that’s your cleaning the grip itself. Now, what I normally do if you’re going to use a lot of water, a big bucket or something like that that’s deep and you got to put the the hole of the grip in, then what what I’ll normally do is get a bit of black tape and just put it around the base of the grip where it meets the metal. And then if any water, it’s it to prevent any water from getting down into the grip itself and making it unstable. If it’s been vacuum uh sealed on with a pump or something like that, then it’s fine. There’s no tape under there anyway, so it’s great. Also, uh the end, if you’ve retaped your grips yourself, you know that you’ve plugged the end, so that’s not a problem. But if you bought like a second amper clubs or something like that, use a teg, put it in the end. Make sure it’s pushed all the way through down to the bottom because once it goes in the water, it, you know, might take a bit of water inside. So, put put a teg in the end. Then with a nail brush or something that’s got bristles on, clean the grip. Then all you do is just give the grip a really thorough clean. And you know it’s going to get dirt when the color start when the the water starts to change to like a gray color or something like that. And and if you ain’t clean them for years, you know, it’s it’s going to go black. So yeah, just get it really good clean. Knock off the excess water. Wipe it. take the tape off and then leave it somewhere naturally to dry. If you’re doing it indoors over the winter period or something like that, excuse me, don’t lean them up against the radiator or anything like that because you got a chance that the heat from the radiator is going to either weaken the epoxy resin that’s within the the club head itself. So, yeah, just a nice cool, dry place. And then while you’re at it, if the club face is dirty, dip it in the club face, give the grooves a clean as well. And that is it, guys. A bit of 101 club maintenance for yourself. Keep your grips clean. Most important thing about the club. Also, another thing I forgot to mention is if you’ve been playing playing golf like on a regular basis, say more than twice a week, then it’s a good idea to get your grips changed once a year. If you’re only playing like once a once a week, then every two years is fine. Hope this helps you guys. And like I say, maintain your grips and you’ll play better golf. Cheers guys.
