Why regripping your clubs is important — and how to do it yourself
I come across so many golfers out on the course and range with grips that are hurting their game. The thing is, regripping your clubs is a quick and easy way to bring some new life into the clubs you depend on. When your grips get slick, look shiny, or have wear spots, it can cause you to use far more grip pressure than you should — and that can cause negative effects on your swing.
Regripping your clubs at least once per season, or more (which is dependent on how often you play) could positively impact your performance. In this video, we dive a little deeper into why it’s important to regrip your clubs, and demonstrate how you can simply regrip your clubs at home and what you’ll need to get the job done.
When you go to regrip your clubs, there are a lot of grip choices out there, and sometimes it can be a little bit overwhelming when it comes to finding the right one for you. If that’s the case, we encourage you to use Golf Pride’s grip fitting tool. Below are a few of our favorites from Golf Pride and what makes each of them unique.
Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Align Max

One of the newest grips from Golf Pride that combines a lot of their technology for high performance. Golf Pride’s Align Max features a raised ridge that runs down the underside of the grip to help consistent gripping and knowing where the face angle is throughout the swing. The reminder ridge on Align Max is 25-percent larger and as big as the rules of golf will allow. The firmer rubber with brushed cotton cord in the upper hand gives added control, while the softer rubber lower hand for feel. The Plus4 lower hand reduces taper and helps you release the club for more power.

Golf Pride ZGrip Cord
The firmest grip in the Golf Pride lineup. If you are looking for a firm and responsive grip with a rougher texture this could be the grip for you. Golf Pride uses brushed cotton cord for the full length to add traction in any condition. If you have sweaty hands or play in wet, humid conditions, then the cord and Z Grip texture will help keep the club securely in your hands.

Golf Pride Tour Wrap
While the grip looks slick with very little texture, it is one of the tackiest grips that Golf Pride offers. The wrap style is very traditional and replicates the old leather grips used long ago. Softer rubber will be comfortable and reduce some vibration, while the new generation material will stay tacky for a long time to ensure you only need light grip pressure.
Golf Pride Tour Velvet
Golf Pride’s most popular grip and one of the most iconic grips in the game of golf. A “plus sign” texture delivers great feel and texture, while an updated rubber material will keep the club feeling secure in most conditions. If you like a classic rubber grip feel, the Tour Velvet is a great choice. Offered in all sizes for all hand sizes and comfort preferences.
Golf Pride MCC
The number 1 hybrid grip on tour and used by the past two PGA Tour winners. Combining a firmer, corded rubber in the upper hand for control with less twisting and a soft, responsive rubber in the lower hand for traction and feel. This grip does well in any condition, from cold to hot and humid. You can also get the MCC in plenty of different colors to match, or contrast, with the rest of your setup.
Golf Pride MCC Align
Just like its older sibling, the MCC, this grip features the same hybrid rubber construction. The big difference is the Align technology on the underside of the grip. This raised ridge is made from a firmer, raised rubber that helps remind you to grip the club consistently. Align will also help you know where the face angle is throughout the whole swing, hopefully allowing you to square the club up easier.

We hope this overview of how to regrip your clubs has helped. Don’t be afraid to dive in and try it yourself — the risks are few and the rewards are plenty: learning a new skill, getting started on your club building journey, and, of course, playing your next round with a fresh set of grips!

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
