I regripped my driver and a few wedges at Dick’s last month. So far, the grips feel great! I’m curious about how they hold up over time, though.
Anyone know if they use a specific brand for their grips? I’ve heard of some places using cheaper options that wear out quickly.
I believe they mostly carry Golf Pride grips, which are pretty reputable. At least, that’s what I was told when I asked.

I think the service was decent but not great. I had to wait quite a while for my turn, and for a relatively simple job, it felt like they could’ve been quicker.
That’s disappointing! I hope it improves because the service quality can really set the tone for the experience.
I tried their regripping service last year. While the grips were fine, I felt the staff could have been more knowledgeable about the different options available.
Absolutely! I’d love more guidance next time. It’s important to make informed choices.
Overall, I think their regripping service is worth considering. Just be prepared to spend a bit of time figuring out what you want.
So true! It’s like shopping for new shoes—always takes longer than expected!
I think their grips are like my ex—great at first but they didn’t last! Has anyone else felt that way?

I’ve been considering regripping my clubs too. Dick’s typically charges around $3-$5 per grip, but doing it yourself can save you a lot! You just need some basic tools like a grip tape and solvent.
I did mine last summer and found that it’s pretty straightforward! YouTube has tons of great tutorials on how to regrip clubs. Just make sure to let the solvent dry completely before using them again!

I’ve always been nervous about regripping my clubs myself. What tools do I really need? I don’t want to mess anything up!
Great question, Jessica! You definitely need double-sided grip tape, like the one from GolfWorks, and a solvent. A utility knife might also be handy to remove the old grips.
I found that the rubber grips are much easier to work with than corded ones. They tend to slide on better with less fuss. Just my two cents!
What solvent do you recommend? I’ve heard some work better than others for ease of use.
I usually use mineral spirits—it’s cheap and does the job well! Just remember to work in a well-ventilated area since it has a strong smell.
If you’re up for a fun experiment, try different grip types to see what feels best for your swing style. Changing grips can really change your game!
Totally agree with you, Thomas! Switching grip types is like making a little upgrade to your clubs at no extra cost. Just be open to what works for you.

I see the DIY route has its benefits, but isn’t there a chance of damaging the clubs? There’s a reason professionals do it at stores like Dick’s, right?
