Since I've switched to full cord grips I do it more like once every 3 years or so since cords wear like iron.

I would say on the irons that I use the most, every 12 to 18 months. Some, unless I change the type, probably don't ever get changed unless I sell or trade them.

However I usually like to try a grip or two during the year if I see something that interests me. Then I will get one or two of them and put them on my driver or PW. I clean my grips at least twice a month. I play a lot and practice as well every week. Today's grips last a lot longer than they did 10 years ago. My wife has a set of grips on her clubs that have lasted 2 years and they are still like new but have lost a little tackiness. Unfortunately Lamkin no longer makes this grip.<p><a href="lpost.php?webtag=&replyto=36627.17">Reply</a></p> <hr /><a name="a36627_18"></a><p><b>From: NRJyzr</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=&msg=36627.18">#18</a>]<br /> 18 Apr 2012<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>I have a set of irons I reshafted in 2003.

I find that if I keep them clean after playing every time, they stay pretty fresh for 2 years. I play once a week between April and October and once a month from November to March. I love the feel of new grips, but I tend to put pretty nice grips on and I don't want to pay for them more frequently than every 2 years.</p> <p>BTW, I regrip myself -- it's easy and kind of fun. Years ago, I had a local store do it for me and felt they did a half a$$'d job. Saves money and again -- you are in control of quality.</p><p><a href="lpost.php?webtag=&replyto=36627.19">Reply</a></p> <hr /><p><a href="lpost.php?webtag=GEAFORUM&replyto=36627.0" target="_parent">Reply to All</a></p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=GEAFORUM">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=GEAFORUM">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2013 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
