When should a player consider re-gripping their clubs?

A player should consider re-gripping their clubs primarily when they notice a decrease in performance or feel. This is a crucial aspect of maintaining optimal performance on the course. Grips play a significant role in how the player interacts with the club and can influence shot accuracy, control, and consistency. If a player feels that their clubs are slipping in their hands or that they are not able to feel the clubhead as well, it may indicate that the grips have worn down or are no longer suited to their preferences or playing style.

In general, a player should pay attention to how the grips feel during normal swings and practice sessions. An improvement in grip texture and cushion from a fresh set can lead to better control and feedback, which positively impacts performance. Therefore, noticing any changes in how the club feels when held can be a strong indicator that it is time for a re-grip, regardless of the physical appearance of the grips.
