Thanks for the tip.
Just cleaned my Lamkin grips. They look and feel like new!

What a great trick to use, really brought my grips back to life, unbelievable to see how good it 'freshened my NDMC's up.

Has anyone tried the method on Scotty Cameron custom shop grips? I have a belly grip and wanted to know if its been done before attempting.

thanks!

p.s. I am the only one that finished and started looking around the house for other 'rubber' things I could try this on??!

My scotty cord gets it all the time. She smiles at me when I am done and rewards me with non slick grips.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

Tried the Simoniz today. Grips look like brand new. However, I note that it leaves a waxy film on the grips and the bucket I used, even though I used sparingly. Hard to get off. So they are clean, but not tacky. Would have to wash with soap and water I think to get the film off.
Any others have this problem?

That was exactly the issue I had and why I stick to soap and water now.

try rinsing the grips off with extremely hot water and drying them off agressively with a towel. My tacki macs dont have this film you speak of.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

I found my grips to be way more tacky after doing this.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

First time I did it, I had the same issue, but only on a couple of clubs.
During the post-treatment rinse, I gave them a bit of a scrub with one of those dishwasher brush things and that seemed to do the trick.

I also used a sink (as opposed to a bucket), so the water was always 'fresh'

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

I too use the sink with hot running water, so water is always clean then towel dry.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

Running hot water and scrub with a stiff brush got them to dry tacky.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

This really works well!. I did a 20 year old victory grip, and it took three times but it's back to being tacky!

Would the nylon brush be something like this ?

[Pubknight]

Re: Grip Cleaning - the 'Secret' Method

That would likely work really well.
I typically have used one of those dishwasher brush things you use to get into the bottom of glasses/pots... kinda like this

I did a 15 year old dried out dirty black Scotty Cameron grip off a TeI3 puter.
I washed it 10X and then I thought its cord grip was now close to new.
That one was the hardest grip to restore but it worked.
