Hello golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter, this week we look at the importance of re-gripping, offer you our remaining second hand clubs, and congratulate Mike on the grand slam. Enjoy the read!

The Importance of re-gripping - Why, when & how?

Improperly sized grips that don’t enhance your playing ability and grips that are simply worn-out/slick contribute to excessive grip tension and pressure will negatively impact your game and cost you strokes.

Comfort, consistency, shot dispersion and shot distance control can all be improved with new golf grips. If you bought your clubs as "standard" we recommend that you replace your grips with a size that best matches the size of your hands.

Ideally, your grips should be replaced every 40 rounds or every 30 rounds if you’re spending a considerable amount of time practicing at the range. Your average tour pro will change their grips on average every 3-4 weeks.

Regardless of rounds played, a grip should always be replaced at the first sign of noticeable wear, including:

• Smooth, hard surfaces
• Cracks
• Shiny patches
• Wear spots, especially were the thumbs make contact
• Faded or bare spots
• Complete loss of tack

Here at Murrayfield Pro Shop we are proud to offer a wide variety of brands, sizes and style options to suit the needs of your game.
