Our favorite way to mount grips is with the suede or rough side out. Traditional grips had the smooth side out.  It may be that back in the 1920s, the suede side was not as soft and easy to grip as it is today.  

Our grips are available in Cowhide or Buffalo in a variety of colors. The Cowhide grips have a slightly stronger backing than the Buffalo Grips; both are soft to the touch.

Grips are cut to a taper of 1 1/4 inch down to 1 inch.  The wider part of the grip should be installed at the top of the grip. They are approximately 34–36 inches long. This will give you a grip of up to 12 inches long, with a little left over.  

We strive to maintain color consistency in the hides we purchase. However, hides can vary subtly in color, and every hide accepts tanning a little differently. It is always our goal to send you the best, most consistent quality grips we can find.

Today's grips are usually made out of Cowhide and Buffalo. The Buffalo grips are a little more supple than the Cowhide grips; both are soft to the touch.

Colors vary over time, as well as their availability. In some cases the difference between colors is so slight that on the course it would be difficult to tell, as is the case with Merlot and Burgundy. I am batching these colors into a single option, labeled with both color names.

This is the thread used for pre-1900 clubs.  It is 7-ply, almost twice as thick as the normal 4-ply. The larger spool - 140 to 150 yards long - means more thread and more coverage in your whipping; you can expect to whip about 70 clubs if you whip at the bottom and top of your grips. Given this, you may want to go in with two or three friends for this spool!

Available in Black only.
