New clubs or new grips ?

[andycap]

I am thinking of getting new grips on my clubs , i have found a Lamkin that i like , £9 per club fitted (i'm not minded to fit them myself )
I have Mizuno jpx800 which i do like , but, reading into it some say that you should change grips every couple of years , and it seems many don't keep their clubs much longer . I have probably had my clubs about four years .
Would you pay probably £100 + , to regrip your clubs or invest that in a new set ?
Your thoughts might help me make my mind up , thanks

I've never paid more than £50 to regrip as I tend to go for the standard golf pride.

I think every other season seems about right for most golfers, better to regroup just before girls go off than when they are gone.

As for new irons, I've not bought irons new but my 10 year old set I got second hand is on it's 3rd set of grips.

Of all the golfers I know, only one changes his irons regularly, (He is on his sixth set this year!!! ). I'm sure if you were getting a full set of irons regripped, it wouldn't cost as much as £100+.

It depends on the grips you choose. I regripped this year including my woods with some golf pride MCC grips so it wasn't cheap! But definitely saw a improvement in my game, maybe that's why when you get new irons you see a improvement.

One of the advantages of doing your own is that you never have this dilemma.

My most used clubs (wedges and driver) get a new grip every 6 months.

If you love the clubs the decision is fairly simple to me £600 for a new iron set of similar quality or £70 for new grips.

PS £9 a grip seems quite pricey to me have you shopped around? Last time I had the Po do one for my oversize butt 3 wood it cost of grip plus £1.50 to fit.

Thanks for your replies , the grips i like are lamkin Z5 , cheapest on e bay is about £7.50 but then ive got to pay for fitting , the pro will do them for £9 fitted , with a discount if i get them all done , and i would rather give him the business .
Changing my clubs is not really in my thoughts , and i think i will go for new grips

I fitted a new set of grips for a member last week. He said after he used them it was like playing with new clubs.
Golf pride grips......£5.99 each including fitting

Having looked at Gamola (for quickness) the pro is only charging £1.50 so reasonable fitting cost.

Check out Gamola or Adore Grips. Both offer a good service and you'll have a load of choice and if you like the clubs it makes sense to just regrip

I use Lamkin Crosslines, and change all irons and woods once a year. I do them myself as it's so much cheaper and more rewarding.

go with the new grips. If you are changing to the same make model of grip - just change those on the clubs that you use most if you want to keep the costs down. On changing clubs, I'd seriously want to see a serious improvement from a fitting and comparing new clubs with the current ones before ever going down that route.

Instead of new clubs, if you like the ones you already have. You could look at getting them re-shafted.

Shafts will harden with age and become stiffer to new shafts that are custom to your swing will have a really positive effect on your game. Plus you would get new grips put on them at the same time.
