If you’re thinking, “I don’t care how to clean golf grips, I just want to see how MyGolfSpy justifies such a useless task,” let us be the first to tell you: Cleaning your grips will keep them in good shape for longer. It’ll also make them less slippery, which means you can relax your hands and—maybe—hit better shots.
Of course, with so many tack-restoring approaches scattered around the fairways and sand traps of the internet, it can be hard to find the actual best way to clean grips. Look no further. We tested several methods and are confident we’ve figured it out.
The recommended methods below will work regardless of whether you’re cleaning rubber, cord, or some sort of synthetic polymer, but you may find one works better for you and your grips than it did for us. As long as you like how it feels, that’s all that matters. Cleaning each grip took one to two minutes so you’ll probably end up leaving them to dry for longer than you spent scrubbing.
Warning: Do NOT submerge your grips. Dunking them risks water getting into the butt end of the grip and into the shaft where it can corrode your club from the inside. Greg Cavill, Golf Pride‘s global head of engineering, recommends holding each club with the hole pointing down as much as possible, especially when there’s a risk water will sneak inside.
By far the most popular grip-cleaning method, the classic combo of warm water and soap is hard to beat. It’s Old Reliable, and we think it’s the best of the bunch given its versatility and simplicity. Every club felt noticeably more tacky and fresh when we were done.
As a general commodity, golf apparel is a tricky subject to write about, at least for me. The category has exploded over the last decade or so but it’s often hard to determine what’s best or, at the very least, what’s best for me.
As far as golf apparel performance goes, it all boils down to the material level. Therein lies the big differences, polo to polo and shorts to shorts.
In order to fully highlight these differences and make them simple for both you and I to understand, I took three pairs of shorts from one of my favorite golf apparel brands and compared them side by side by side. On the surface, they’re all comfortable, well-constructed golf shorts. But at the material level, they’re different.
Breaking down the fabrics in each of these shorts should, in theory, lend itself well to the shopping experience as we try our best to navigate the growing sea of golf apparel.
I’m no materials expert (far from it) but as I’ve sought to understand more about what makes golf apparel different, I’ve learned a lot about it. Let’s talk about the fabrics behind some of my favorite shorts and how they contribute to overall performance.

I’ve been fortunate to interview Xander Schauffele about a dozen times since he’s turned pro.
What I’ve noticed about him—similar to other experts in a given craft—is that he’ll share certain golf tips very matter-of-factly, like it’s nothing special. However, when you go back and listen, there’s so much to learn from these truth bombs.
Who cares if he didn’t deliver his thoughts as animatedly as Billy Horschel? Schauffele still shares important tips he’s learned from experience—and that’s something we can all learn from.
Here are four one-liners and concepts Schauffele shared that I believe can help us hackers at home.
He says amateurs often overthink a lot of decisions and he’s keen on not letting the mind think the tone set on the range carries over much, if at all, to the actual course.
“Honestly, I’ve played some of my best golf shanking it on the range. It’s nice to see good shots on the range but, for the most part, it doesn’t really matter.”
Hideki Matsuyama lost his wallet in London and his caddie and coach for the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs, but finished the day in second at the St. Jude Championship. Chris Kirk leads the event after making a hole-in-one for an opening round 64.
One day after Ethan Fang had to survive a playoff, he won two matches Thursday at Hazeltine National to reach the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur that now only has one player left from the top 10 amateurs in the world ranking.
Minjee Lee had a 5-under 67 on Thursday to take a one-shot lead in the rain-soaked opening round of the Women's Scottish Open.
The adidas Samba was, according to most, the undisputed sneaker of the year in 2023. (Yes, there is such an award.)
Its resurgence in classrooms and shopping malls around the globe is perhaps the biggest reason why adidas is forecasting big profits for 2024. Lifestyle and streetwear brands like Kith, Extra Butter and Palace have scooped up opportunities to collaborate on such an iconic shoe.
Now it’s golf’s turn. And there’s no brand more accustomed to collabs of this magnitude than the collab kings themselves: Malbon.
It seems like every week I’ve got news of a new Malbon collab in my inbox. I tend to engage with most as I’m definitely the target demo. But this collab stopped me dead in my tracks.
Admittedly, I’ve never been the biggest fan of the Samba. I just don’t love all-white or all-black shoes. So when I saw that Malbon was interjecting some life and color into the silhouette, I took notice.

Ever wanted to put your own “stamp” on your golf game but never had the courage to take the leap? Look no further. Customization is no longer just for the pros. Weekend warriors, range rats and everyone in between now have more options than ever when it comes to customizing their sticks. It’s become a badge of individualism.
Whether you engrave the name of a loved one or show off your school pride, displaying that personal touch with golf clubs is more popular than ever.
Back in 2014, MyGolfSpy released the #pimplist: a compilation of wedges showcasing the creativity of the golf community. Now, in 2024, here are some of the newest wedge designs that caught our eye.
Become one of the gang as Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and Scoob bring the Mystery Machine to life with this one of a kind wedge. Laser-engraved and hand-painted, this wedge may just solve all your wedge game mysteries. The next time you take your competitors’ money on the 18th green, they’ll be saying, “I would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for (you) meddling kids.”
Grind Your Golf creates more cartoon nostalgia with this “Simpsons” themed wedge. Springfield’s resident troublemaker will help you escape all sorts of trouble on the course with this design. Just like its “Mystery Machine” counterpart, this wedge shows unreal craftsmanship anyone would envy. Just don’t put it in detention and you two will get along just fine.
