Replacing Your Golf Grips

Golf can be an expensive sport. It seems like there's always an extra expense when I step out on the course.

My most recent problem had to do with my golf grips. After a few years of playing frequent golf, my grips get worn out. It becomes a hassle to spend money on an expense that shouldn't be. So I have found the solution.

There's a company called Quick Grip Golf that manufacturers a product called Quick Grip. It's an invisible Non-Sticky spray. What I mean by Non-Sticky is that there's no reminisce of the product after application. It actually reduces moisture instead of making your hands tacky. So the grip you get stepping on the first tee with no exertion is the same grip you have throughout the round.

No only is the spray good for golf grips, but it can be applied to your hands and gloves as well. I actually tried Quick Grip on all three and these were the results.

Golf Grips: Noticed the biggest increase in distance. It really allowed my club to stay square to the ball on contact, giving me a more crisp shots. The occurrence of hitting a crisp golf shot is indescribable.

Hands and Gloves: Spraying Quick Grip on my hands and gloves seemed to be the best application method. Not many people like to apply products to their hands, but this was the exception. After a few seconds, the product goes unnoticed. I noticed the biggest difference in accuracy and feel. Spraying it on my glove really made a difference. It felt like I had extra traction on my glove without the adhesive feeling.

I'm not sure how the product holds up in the rain, but I never play in the rain anyway. I would rather lower my scores in nice weather than in poor weather.

I've passed the product on to my buddies and they feel the same way about it. They won't play without it. All of us have seen the biggest improvement in accuracy. If you're an experienced golfer, you come to realize the importance of accuracy over distance.

To test the product even further, I tested the spray on a set of older golf clubs with worn out golf grips. Surprisingly, Quick Grip did the job. That's not to say the grips shouldn't be replaced, but if you're really looking to save money, this is the product to do so.

Where To Get Quick Grip:
I purchased Quick Grip at my local Golf USA golf shop. Many other retailers and golf pro shops carry the product. Ask your golf professional if they carry it in the shop. If not, try a larger retailer.
