How often do you change grips ?

[HPIMG]

I use the iomic sticky 2.3 grips love the grips but after a year almost to the day there looking a bit beat up. I do play a lot of golf 5 rounds a week if weather allows it and probably once a week in winter practice and 3/4 times a week practice in summer.
I’ll probably hang off until March next year so I have a fresh set for start of April.
How often do others change grips ?

 

[PJ87]

Every 2 years for me but I play 60 rounds a year so not as many as you

 

[howbow88]

I used to change them every year... but I find now that I just give my hands a bit of the ol hawk tuah before playing my shot, and I never have any 'stick' issues. My grips are now 4 years old

Is it unusual to not need to change grips as they never have time to wear out..?

It's true @Burnsey just buys new clubs

The key is, buy plus 4's and they wear to 'normal' over time - more moneysaving tips available by request

[Arthur Wedge]

Change mine once a year normally around March

 

[Bobthesock]

Never, I find it easier to buy a decent glove

 

[jim8flog]

very much depends on the type of grip and where they came from for me

Standard Golf Pride Tour Velvets last a few years for me. Same TaylorMade redcap on my driver shaft for several years
Golf Pride Multi Compound only about a year before the non cord section hardens so grip changed.
Any Tacky grip once a year because it loses the tackiness.
I used to love Golf Pride Tour Wrap Full cord as they never needed changing.

Cheap Velvet Tours about 12 - 24 months.

Would all depend on the grip, as has been said, full cords/multi compound etc would probably last a little longer, especially against something cheap.
But that’s some amount of golf you’re playing, probably every season at a guess but aye all depends how they feel to you, you’ll know when they’re done

Typically every couple of years, give them a good scrub with warm soapy water on a regular basis and that extends the life a bit.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Not very. I'm not brutal on grips so I can easily go 4-5 years with what I have.

 

[KenL]

Every 2 years, more often for my driver and wedges.
I always do my own.

 

[Mel Smooth]

Still on my original grips on my Cobra F9's - so they are now 5 years old - can't say they feel like they are losing noticeable grip although I'm sure if I put new grips on them they'd feel quite different.

I did re-grip my driver last year with an oversize grip from Temu - wasn't sure how it would perform but it is still absolutely fine - no degradation in the material at all as yet.

 

[Hxck]

Once to twice a year for me, but I play a lot.

There are probably some people here who play 4-5 times as much as you so need to change annually. I think my irons were 7 years old when I changed the grips.

 

[Slab]

I've had to change putter or long club grips due to deterioration but not really had to do iron clubs (& i'm in a country where humidity can wreck a grip in no time at all)
In fact when i dig out the 25yr old king cobra irons with the rubber wrap effect grips they're still perfectly fine and don't need changed even now

Wish the same could be said for some of the other grips I've used over the years

 

[Voyager EMH]

The only club that I have that I bought brand new and that I can recall putting a new grip on is my 1980s putter - Ben Sayers Opel Line One.
The Pings irons I bought in 2008 all have their original grips. I shall think about their grip condition in the new year. Might even replace the irons for something newer, but not brand new.
The Cobra driver, 3-wood and three baffler hybrids have all had new grips in recent years, but I bought them second hand.
Driver and 3-wood are 20 years old, but the hybrids a bit less than that.

I have over 40 cheap grips waiting to go on some of my 50-year old clubs.
I think I re-gripped more than 30 others this year.

 

[Orikoru]

Almost never. Whenever I buy new clubs they come with grips already on.

I did change my old driver grip after 5 years as it had a noticeable dip in it where my thumb goes. I changed my putter grip after I bought it second hand but putters are a little different I guess. My old irons I used for 5 years, never changed the grips, but they were corded ones so a little more hard-wearing perhaps.
