Regular checkups for grips, shafts, heads are important. If you plan to play your best golf, it's important that your equipment is up to the task. Take a good look at your clubs. Get to know them better. Examine the heads, check the grips, inspect the shafts, and most importantly, make sure the shafts are matched.
Grips are probably the most overlooked or neglected part of the club.
Since the grip is the only place where you touch the club, it must be in good shape for you to maintain control. It's a good idea to wash your grips every couple of weeks in a solution of soap and water. Use a piece of fine steel wool with soap in it. Steel wool not only cleans off the dirt but also roughens up the grips, making them feel tacky again. If your grips are hard, worn in places or have depressions from where you hold the club, it's time for replacements.
