How to Spot a Bad Golf Club Regrip

Tips from the Clubhouse Hawaii Repair Pros

Not all regrips are created equal. At Clubhouse Hawaii, we see a lot of clubs come in with sloppy grip jobs that ruin feel, comfort, and even performance. Here are 5 quick ways to spot a bad regrip — plus what we do differently.

🚩 1. Crooked Grip Installation

If the logo or alignment aid is visibly tilted, it throws off hand placement and setup. Every grip should be perfectly aligned with the clubface.

🚩 2. Uneven Tape Buildup

A good taper build is precise. If one side feels thicker or lumpy, it was rushed or done without care. This affects grip pressure and control.

🚩 3. Poor Cleanup or Excess Solvent

Sloppy residue around the grip or grip cap? That's a red flag. It means shortcuts were taken in drying, finishing, or adhesive prep.

🚩 4. Loose or Twisting Grips

If you can twist the grip after a few swings or it feels like it’s moving, it wasn’t installed correctly — or it’s missing crucial drying time.

🚩 5. Wrong Grip Size or Model

You asked for a midsize, but it feels like a standard? We’ve seen it happen too many times. A real fitter checks sizing and preference every time.

✅ What We Do at Clubhouse Hawaii

Every regrip at Clubhouse Hawaii is hand-checked for straightness, size, adhesion, and finish. We use Mitchell gripping stations, apply precision taper wraps when needed, and keep a full inventory of grips from Golf Pride, Winn, Lamkin, SuperStroke, and more.
