Professional Golf Grip Installation Services
You’re not imagining it – those worn grips are costing you shots. Research shows golfers lose 3-4 strokes per round with old, slippery grips. Fresh grips mean you stop death-gripping your clubs, which reduces tension in your arms and shoulders.
Your shots become more consistent because you’re not fighting the club through impact. You’ll feel confident swinging in Long Island’s humid summer conditions or those drizzly fall rounds at Bay Park.
The difference shows up immediately. Better contact, straighter shots, and that feeling of control you remember when your clubs were new.
East Rockaway Golf Equipment Experts
We’ve been serving Long Island golfers for over 40 years from our Freeport facility. We manufacture our own Tour Edition grips right here in New York – the same quality grips used by tour professionals.
Robert Chorne, our president and golf expert, understands what works on Long Island courses. From the windy conditions at Bethpage to the coastal humidity that affects grip performance, we know what local golfers need.
We’re not a big box store pushing whatever’s on sale. We’re golfers helping golfers get the most from their equipment, one grip at a time.
Golf Grip Replacement Process
Bring your clubs in and we’ll assess your current grips and playing style. We’ll recommend the right grip type – whether you need extra traction for sweaty hands, a softer feel for comfort, or firmer grips for better feedback.
We carefully remove your old grips and clean the shafts completely. Each new grip is installed with proper tape and alignment, ensuring consistent feel across your entire set. Most jobs are completed within 24-48 hours.
You’ll walk out with clubs that feel new again. The first swing on the range will remind you why fresh grips matter – better control, more confidence, and the kind of consistent contact that drops your scores.

Tour Edition Golf Grips Long Island
We use Tour Edition grips manufactured right here in Freeport, giving you the same quality equipment that tour professionals rely on. These aren’t generic grips – they’re designed for performance and durability in real playing conditions.
East Rockaway golfers deal with unique challenges: salt air from nearby waters, high humidity in summer, and temperature swings that affect grip performance. Our locally-made grips are tested in these exact conditions.
Whether you’re playing the executive course at Bay Park or tackling one of Nassau County’s championship layouts, you’ll have grips that perform when it matters. We stock options for every playing style and grip preference, from soft rubber compounds to corded grips for maximum traction.
How often should I replace my golf grips?
Most golfers should replace their grips once a year or every 40-50 rounds, whichever comes first. If you play frequently in Long Island’s humid conditions or practice regularly, you might need replacement sooner.
Look for signs like a shiny appearance, hard feel, or the grip starting to slip in your hands during humid rounds. Don’t wait until they’re completely worn – you’re losing shots long before the grip looks obviously damaged.
Tour professionals change grips every 6-8 weeks because they understand how quickly performance degrades. While you don’t need to be that aggressive, staying ahead of wear will keep your scores lower.
What's the difference between grip types and which should I choose?
Rubber grips offer the best combination of feel and durability for most golfers. They provide good traction and feedback without being too firm. Corded grips add texture for players who struggle with slipping, especially in humid conditions common on Long Island.
Softer grips reduce vibration and are easier on your hands during long practice sessions. Firmer grips give better feedback and control for players who prefer to feel exactly what the clubhead is doing through impact.
Your grip pressure, hand size, and playing conditions all factor into the right choice. We’ll assess your current grips and playing style to recommend options that improve your specific game.
How much does professional grip installation cost?
Professional grip installation typically ranges from $8-15 per club depending on the grip quality you choose. A complete set usually runs $100-180 including labor. While you can buy cheaper grips online, professional installation ensures proper alignment and secure attachment.
The investment pays for itself quickly. Research shows worn grips can cost you 3-4 strokes per round – that’s potentially 15-20 strokes over five rounds. New grips also extend your clubs’ usable life significantly.
We’ll provide upfront pricing based on your specific needs. There are no surprises, and most jobs are completed within 24-48 hours so you’re not missing weekend rounds.
Can you install grips I purchase elsewhere?
Yes, we can install grips you purchase elsewhere, though we recommend our Tour Edition grips for best results. If you bring your own grips, we charge a standard installation fee per club.
Keep in mind that grip quality varies significantly. Cheap grips may not last as long or perform as well, especially in Long Island’s challenging weather conditions. We’ve seen too many golfers save $20 on grips only to replace them again in six months.
Our Tour Edition grips are manufactured locally in Freeport and designed specifically for the conditions you face on Long Island courses. The small price difference usually pays for itself in durability and performance.
Do new grips really improve my golf game?
Absolutely. Worn grips force you to grip the club tighter, creating tension in your arms and shoulders that leads to inconsistent swings. Fresh grips let you hold the club with proper pressure, improving your tempo and contact.
Studies show golfers lose 3-4 strokes per round with worn grips due to decreased control and confidence. New grips restore that secure connection between you and the club, leading to more consistent ball-striking and better scores.
The improvement is immediate and noticeable. Most golfers are surprised how much better their clubs feel and perform with fresh grips. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to upgrade your equipment without buying new clubs.
How long does the grip installation process take?
Most grip installations are completed within 24-48 hours depending on our current workload. We can often accommodate same-day service for smaller jobs if you need clubs for an important round.
The actual installation process takes about 15-20 minutes per club, but proper curing time ensures the grips are securely bonded. We don’t rush the process – your clubs need to be perfect when you pick them up.
During busy season (spring and early summer), we recommend calling ahead to schedule your installation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline and work around your playing schedule whenever possible.
