Changing of golf clubs grip

I see pros changing it every tournament. But to me it still quite new even after 3months of usage. Can someone enlighten me?

Tiger Woods wears 12 clean gloves for each tournament. But he is a top pro.
So changing grip for each tournament is no surprise. But if you play only weekend golf, you don't need to change your grips that often. Once a year is more than enough.

i change my own... quite fun actually

np for u bro!

I too planning to change my grip. Mine is stock from TM.

What grip brand u guys change to?

Actually, there is no fix timing to change your grips. Signal for a change will come when the Grip hardens or starting to look shinny and looses its "Tacky" feeling. A good way of maintaining them is to wash or scrub with soap once in a while. It is usually the perspiration from our hand that causes the grips to wear out earlier. 8)

Mine seems to be getting slippery. Maybe follow Yoggi's advice go wash first and see if it improves.

The Rubber grips from Karma or Golf Pride should be about that price. Come down when you have time.

I think they are one of the biggest grip maker in the world, the other one is Winn Grips. A lot of people like the Golf Pride Combo grip (Cord & rubber mix), very good but more expensive than the standard rubber ones.

Thanks Yoggi... Are there variants where some models are more cushy then others? Mine is just ok.. but I would like one with more cushion feeling to soak in any vibration due to my excessive hitting of the mat lah.. kekekek
Now having some slight golf elbow pain.. been away from range since Malacca...

You can try Winn Grips, they have some models that have more "spongey" feeling, more like some of the Putter grip feeling. But these usually don't last as long in our weather and need to handle with more care as they tend to peel more easily. You to try the size though, I actually find them little bigger than normal when I tried it the last time. Had to change them out as I could not grip properly at impact. You may have to use the ladies size if your Palm is smaller like mine.
