Most equipment articles suggest regripping your golf clubs 2x a year. Obviously this depends greatly on how often you play golf, but still, but I don't know many people regripping this often. Unless I'm way off and am just missing a huge aspect of amateur golf, I don't think anyone I know regrips more than once every 2 years (and that's a rare few). Most people I know regrip by buying a new set of clubs. While an individual grip isn't that expensive ($3-$8) by the time you multiply that by 10-13 and pay to have someone do it for you, you're talking well over $100. I don't doubt having new grips is best... but I can't imagine someone is actually gaining to losing too many strokes because of their grips if they don't change 2x a year. In all my life golfing I've only seen a club slip out of someone's hands two times and in both cases it was very much golfer error.

A few weeks ago we posted an account of regripping our own clubs HERE. The process was interesting from a learning perspective but I don't think you're going to find our author doing it again. The good news is that there are some new products that may be changing the regripping process. We met a new company (Pure Grips) at the PGA Show that invented a grip that can be put on and off with a special attachment to an air compressor. The process took about 15 seconds per grip with absolutely no mess. If something like this changes the process across the board it's a start, but at $8 a grip it's still an expensive endeavor for a hack on a budget. Regrip my clubs or play 3 additional rounds of golf this year? I'm always taking the golf.

So where are you guys at? Do you regrip more than I guess you do?
