Professional Golf Grips Babylon
You know that moment when your grip slips just enough to send your ball into the rough? That stops here. Our Tour Edition grips give you the connection between your hands and the club that separates good golfers from great ones.
These aren’t your typical golf shop grips. We manufacture every grip without seams on irons and woods, held to tolerances better than the silverware you eat with. When you can feel exactly what the clubface is doing at impact, your consistency improves immediately.
Long Island’s humid summers and unpredictable weather demand grips that perform when it matters. Our proprietary materials handle moisture better than anything you’ll find at the big box stores, and they stay tacky round after round.
Nassau Golf Babylon NY
We’ve been engineering precision golf equipment since the 1960s, right here on Long Island. While other companies chase trends, we’ve been perfecting the fundamentals that actually matter to your game.
Robert Chorne, our president and golf expert, holds multiple patents and has had his innovations featured on ESPN, ABC Sports Science, and in major golf publications worldwide. Tour players have used our equipment without us paying a dime for endorsements – they choose our products because they work.
We’re not a massive corporation looking to squeeze every dollar. We’re Long Island golfers who understand what it takes to play well on courses from Bethpage to Montauk, where conditions change by the hour and your equipment needs to keep up.
Golf Grip Installation Process
First, we assess your current grips and discuss what’s not working. Are they too slippery? Wrong size for your hands? Worn down from too many range sessions? We’ve seen it all and know exactly what needs to change.
Next comes the fitting process. Hand size matters more than most golfers realize. A grip that’s too small promotes excessive hand action, while oversized grips can restrict your release. We match the grip thickness to your measurements and playing style, not what’s cheapest or easiest.
Installation happens with the same precision we use in manufacturing. Each grip is positioned perfectly and secured with techniques we’ve refined over decades. You’re not getting a rush job from someone who learned last week – you’re getting craftsmanship that ensures your grips perform exactly as designed.

Tour Edition Golf Grips
Our Tour Edition grips are manufactured right here in Freeport, New York, not shipped in from overseas factories. This means we control every aspect of quality, from material selection to final inspection. Each grip meets tolerances that would make a watchmaker proud.
The seamless construction on our irons and woods isn’t just about looks – it eliminates the weak points where other grips fail. No ridges to wear down, no seams to collect dirt and moisture. Just smooth, consistent feel that lasts season after season.
Babylon’s golf climate demands equipment that handles everything from morning dew at Timber Point to afternoon thunderstorms rolling in from the Sound. Our grips maintain their tackiness in wet conditions and won’t get slippery when the temperature climbs. Local manufacturing means local testing, and we know exactly what Long Island golfers face on the course.
How often should I replace my golf grips?
Most golfers should replace their grips every 12-18 months or after 40-50 rounds, whichever comes first. But here’s what really matters: if your grips feel slick, hard, or you find yourself gripping tighter to maintain control, it’s time for new ones regardless of age.
Long Island’s climate accelerates grip wear. The salt air from being surrounded by water, combined with high humidity in summer, breaks down grip materials faster than inland courses. If you play regularly at Bethpage, Timber Point, or any of our coastal courses, you might need replacement closer to the 12-month mark.
The real test is simple – if you’re thinking about your grips during your swing instead of focusing on your target, they’re already costing you strokes. Don’t wait until they’re completely shot.
What grip size is right for my hands?
Grip size depends on your glove size and finger length, but there’s more to it than most golfers realize. A properly sized grip allows your middle finger to barely touch the pad of your thumb when you hold the club naturally.
If your fingers dig into your palm, the grip is too small and you’ll tend to over-rotate your hands through impact. Too large, and you won’t be able to release the club properly, leading to pushes and fades. Most standard grips work for golfers wearing large gloves, but if you’re a medium or extra-large, you need adjustments.
We measure your hands properly and consider your swing tendencies. Some golfers benefit from slightly larger grips to quiet their hands, while others need smaller grips to help them square the clubface. It’s not one-size-fits-all, despite what the big retailers want you to believe.
Can you install grips on any golf clubs?
Yes, we can install our Tour Edition grips on virtually any golf club – drivers, irons, wedges, putters, and hybrids. The process varies slightly depending on the club type and shaft material, but our experience with thousands of installations means we know exactly what each club needs.
Older clubs sometimes require extra attention to remove stubborn old grips or adhesive residue, but that’s not a problem. We’ve worked on everything from vintage persimmon drivers to the latest titanium technology. The key is using the right techniques and taking the time to do it properly.
Some golfers worry about installing premium grips on older clubs, thinking it’s not worth it. That’s backwards thinking. Good grips can make an older club feel new again, and if you’re comfortable with your current clubs, upgrading the grips is often more cost-effective than buying new equipment.
How long does grip installation take?
A full set of grips typically takes 2-3 hours from start to finish, including proper curing time. We don’t rush the process because shortcuts lead to grips that slip or come loose during play. Each grip needs to be positioned correctly, secured properly, and allowed to set completely.
If you need just a few grips replaced, we can often handle that while you wait, depending on our schedule. But for a full set, we recommend dropping off your clubs and picking them up the next day. This ensures everything is completely ready and you’re not playing with grips that haven’t fully cured.
We also include a quick check of your club specifications while we have them – lie angles, loft, and overall condition. Sometimes we spot issues that could affect your game beyond just worn grips. It’s part of the service when you work with people who understand golf equipment at this level.
What's the difference between cord and rubber grips?
Cord grips have cotton fibers woven into the upper portion where your lead hand grips the club. This provides better moisture management and a firmer feel, which is why you see them on tour. The trade-off is they’re rougher on your hands and will wear out gloves faster.
Rubber grips offer more comfort and cushioning, making them popular with golfers who play frequently or have sensitive hands. They’re also easier on gloves and provide good traction in most conditions. Our Tour Edition rubber compound maintains tackiness longer than standard rubber grips.
For Long Island golfers, we often recommend a hybrid approach – cord grips on shorter irons and wedges where you need maximum control, and premium rubber on longer clubs where comfort matters more. The choice also depends on whether you wear gloves consistently and how much you practice.
Do better grips really improve my golf game?
Absolutely, but not in the way most golfers think. Better grips won’t magically fix your slice or add 20 yards to your drive. What they do is eliminate variables that hurt consistency. When you’re not worried about the club slipping or fighting to maintain control, you can focus on making good swings.
Proper grips also provide better feedback from impact. You’ll feel the difference between a pure strike and one that’s slightly off-center, which helps you make adjustments. This is especially important for short game shots where touch and feel matter most.
The biggest improvement most golfers see is in confidence. When you trust your equipment completely, you swing more freely. Tension kills golf swings, and nothing creates tension like wondering if your grip will hold up when you need it most. Good grips eliminate that doubt entirely.
