- G.D.4 Signs You Need a Club Repair
Not sure if your clubs need a tune-up? Here are some of the most common signs:
Worn or Loose Grips: Your grips feel slick, hard, or are visibly cracked. This is the most common repair and makes the biggest “new club” difference.
Visible Shaft Damage: You see dents, cracks, or rust spots on your steel shafts, or splintering/scratches on your graphite shafts.
Changes in Performance: You notice a sudden change in ball flight (e.g., everything is going left), a loss of distance, or an inconsistent feel. Your loft or lie angles may have been knocked out of spec.
Annoying Noises: You hear a rattle in the shaft or feel a “click” at impact. This often means a loose club head or debris inside the shaft.
The Benefits of Professional Repair
Don't let a worn-out grip or a bad lie angle cost you strokes. Proper repairs restore your club's performance, giving you more control and confidence.
A grip replacement can make a $500 driver feel brand new. Repairs are the most cost-effective way to get the most out of your investment.
A repair is a great time to make an upgrade. We can adjust the length, lie, or swingweight to better match your unique swing.
