Good tips! Don’t forget to rinse them well with clean water afterward. Any soap left can make them slippery during play!
I always give my grips a good rinse under running water. Make sure to thoroughly rinse away any soap residue to maintain grip performance!
Yes! After rinsing, it’s crucial to dry them properly. I like to use a towel and let them air dry as well.
It’s best to leave them in a cool, shaded area to dry to avoid heat damage. I usually do this overnight and they are good to go by morning!
Great point! I often forget that part. How often do you all recommend doing this cleaning routine?

Using a towel to dry golf grips is a good idea too! I usually just hang them up afterwards, but I hadn’t thought about ensuring they are completely dry before storing them away.
Regular maintenance is crucial! To keep these grips in top shape, I recommend cleaning after every round, especially if you’re playing in humid conditions.
Are there specific products you recommend for cleaning grips? Sometimes I worry about using certain cleaners that might leave them slippery.
