How Much Does It Cost to Regrip Golf Clubs? (DIY vs Pro Shop)

Key Takeaways

• Professional installation typically costs about $1 to $5 per club, before the grip price.
• PGA TOUR Superstore currently lists standard grip installation starting at $0.99 per club.
• Golf Galaxy lists $3.99 for standard grip installation and $5.99 for a long or belly putter grip.
• Current swing grip examples range from about $3.99 for lower-priced rubber grips to $15.99 for premium models.
• A basic DIY kit for 13 clubs currently costs about $19.99, with grips sold separately.
• DIY saves the most when a shop charges several dollars per club. At a shop charging around $1 per club for labor, the first DIY job might cost more after factoring in tools.

The cost to regrip golf clubs usually comes down to two charges: the new grip and installation. Professional grip installation currently runs about $1 to $5 per club on average, while swing grips range from roughly $4 to $16 or more. A 13-club set often costs between $100 to $260, depending on grip choice and shop pricing. DIY removes the labor charge, though first-time supplies add about $20 to $70.

Cost Summary Table

The table below separates grip cost from installation. That distinction matters because most professional shops charge for the grip and labor separately.

What Determines the Cost?

The golf club regripping cost depends more on your grip choice than many golfers expect. Labor matters, but premium grips quickly become the biggest line item.

Grip Price Tier

Current prices show a wide spread.

The GolfWorks currently lists its Royal X-Treme V at $3.99. DICK'S lists Golf Pride Tour Velvet at $6.99, and MCC Plus4 ALIGN MAX at $15.99.

Grip selection therefore changes a full-set bill more than many golfers expect.

Labor Charge

Most shops price golf grip installation by the club. Golf Pride puts the general professional installation range at $1 to $5 per club.

For 13 clubs, that equals roughly $13 to $65 in labor. PGA TOUR Superstore currently sits near the low end, with labor starting at $0.99 per club. Golf Galaxy charges $3.99 for a standard grip installation.

Grip Tape and Solvent

A professional installation price normally covers the installation materials. DIY golfers buy them separately.

Current retail examples include:

• A 15-pack of double-sided grip tape for $4.99.
• An 8-ounce bottle of grip solvent for $6.99.
• A complete 13-club basic grip kit for $19.99, excluding the new grips.

These materials cost little per club once you use them across a full set.

Putter Grip Type

Putter grips deserve a separate budget line. Oversized, long, counterbalanced, and specialty designs often cost more than standard iron grips.

Golf Galaxy also lists a $5.99 installation fee for long or belly putter grips, compared with $3.99 for its standard grip service.

Service Speed and Promotions

Turnaround differs by provider. PGA TOUR Superstore says technicians often finish regripping while you shop and guarantees that drop-off orders will be completed within 48 hours. Golf Galaxy advertises a 24-hour regripping guarantee.

Neither service page currently lists a standard rush surcharge. Independent shops set their own policies, so confirm timing and total price before leaving your clubs.

Retailers also run grip promotions at different times of year. Compare the full bill rather than assuming a discounted grip means discounted labor.

DIY Cost Breakdown

DIY regripping makes the most financial sense when you already own basic tools or plan to replace grips more than once.

A simple home setup does not require professional club-building equipment.

Basic DIY Supplies

A current GolfWorks Professional Grip Kit sells for $19.99 and covers 13 clubs. The kit includes grip solvent, 13 tape strips, a grip sizing gauge, a rubber shaft clamp, and instructions. It does not include replacement grips or a cutting tool.

A more complete GolfWorks tool bundle costs $69.99 and includes a utility knife with hook blades, tape, solvent, a clamp, a tape stripper, and additional tools.

If you already own a safe utility knife and a bench vise, the cheaper kit covers most of the dedicated supplies.

Before starting, clear loose towel clips and bag accessories from the bench so solvent and adhesive stay off them.

What Do the Grips Add?

The grips remain the largest variable.

Using current prices:

• $3.99 grip: 13 grips cost about $52
• $6.99 grip: 13 grips cost about $91
• $12.99 grip: 13 grips cost about $169
• $15.99 grip: 13 grips cost about $208

Add a $19.99 basic DIY kit and the first 13-club job comes to roughly $72 to $228, depending on grip selection.

Future jobs cost less if you still have usable solvent, tools, and a clamp.

If you plan to do the work yourself, Golf Pride’s step-by-step regripping guide explains how to remove the old grip, apply fresh tape and solvent, align the new grip, and let it dry. Golf Pride recommends waiting at least 4 hours before playing. 

Retail and Pro Shop Pricing by Provider

Major retailers make professional regripping easy, but their posted labor rates differ enough to make comparison worthwhile.

DICK'S Sporting Goods

DICK'S provides golf club regripping through participating golf departments. Its current national services page does not publish a standard installation fee and advises golfers to contact the local store for available services.

That makes a local quote the safest figure to use before visiting.

PGA TOUR Superstore

PGA TOUR Superstore currently lists standard grip installation starting at $0.99 per club, with the grip price separate. Putter installation also starts at $0.99.

The store accepts grips bought elsewhere and says no appointment is necessary. Full-set prices vary with the chosen grip.

Golf Galaxy

Golf Galaxy currently lists $3.99 for standard grip installation and $5.99 for a long or belly putter grip. The retailer also advertises a 24-hour turnaround guarantee for regripping.

Using a $6.99 Tour Velvet grip as an example, 13 standard clubs would cost about $143 before tax.

Local Pro Shop or Club Fitter

Independent shops set their own rates. Golf Pride reports a typical professional installation range of roughly $1 to $5 per club, which gives you a useful benchmark before calling nearby shops.

Some local shops include installation in the grip price. Others separate labor. Ask for the all-in price for your entire set rather than comparing labor alone.

Is DIY Regripping Worth It?

DIY is worth considering if you replace several grips at once and plan to do the job again. It does not always save money on the first set.

Consider the labor difference.

At Golf Galaxy's current $3.99 standard installation rate, 13 clubs carry about $52 in labor. A $19.99 DIY supply kit recovers its cost during the first full set if you already own the remaining basic tools.

At PGA TOUR Superstore's current $0.99 starting rate, the same 13 clubs carry only about $13 in installation labor. In that case, professional installation costs less than buying a $19.99 kit for a one-time job.

The better choice depends on your priorities.

• Choose DIY when you enjoy equipment maintenance, regrip often, and already own basic tools.
• Choose a shop when you want precise alignment, have specialty grips, or only need one or two clubs replaced.
• Compare total price, not labor alone. You pay for the same new grips either way.

After replacing the grips, keep the rest of the club on a regular maintenance schedule. A consistent golf equipment care routine covers the clubface, grooves, shafts, grips, and storage rather than treating regripping as the only maintenance job.

How to Get the Best Price

The cheapest option depends on the grip, labor rate, and supplies you already own.

1. Price the grip first. A $4 grip and a $16 grip create a much larger difference than a few dollars of installation labor.
2. Ask for the total set price. Get one figure for grips, installation, and any specialty putter work.
3. Compare at least one independent shop. Golf Pride's typical installation range of $1 to $5 gives you a useful reference point before calling.
4. Check current grip promotions. Retailers periodically run installation or grip offers, especially when buying several grips.
5. Buy DIY supplies once. Reuse the clamp and tools on future sets. Tape and solvent become the main recurring installation materials.
6. Do not choose on price alone. Grip size, texture, firmness, moisture control, and alignment matter more than saving a few dollars on a grip you dislike.

Golf Pride recommends replacing grips at least once per year, with replacement frequency changing with play volume, practice, weather, and visible wear. 

Final Thoughts

Fresh grips improve the connection between your hands and the club. Clean clubfaces are another part of equipment maintenance. Vokey notes that dirt, grass, and sand packed into wedge grooves interfere with the grooves' ability to grip the ball and create spin. 

That makes a simple routine useful. Replace worn grips when traction fades, and keep the clubface clear during play. A golf club cleaning brush helps remove dirt and debris from the grooves, while a rechargeable option such as the Clean and Hit golf club face cleaner uses a rotating nylon brush and works either when mounted to a golf cart or set on the ground.

Fresh grips help your hands. Clean grooves help the clubface. Both deserve a place in routine golf club maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does It Cost to Regrip Golf Clubs?

Regripping usually costs the price of the grip plus $1 to $5 in professional installation per club. Current swing grips range from around $4 to $16 or more. A typical 13-club job therefore costs between $100 and $260, though bargain grips or low labor rates can reduce the total.

Does DICK'S Sporting Goods Regrip Golf Clubs, and What Do They Charge?

Yes. DICK'S Sporting Goods offers golf club regripping at participating locations. Its national golf services page does not publish a standard installation fee, so the price depends on the store. Contact your local golf department and ask for the labor cost per club plus the price of your chosen grip.

How Much Does It Cost to Regrip a Full Set of 13 Clubs?

A 13-club regrip commonly costs about $100 to $260 using mainstream swing grips and professional installation. Lower-priced $3.99 grips paired with PGA TOUR Superstore's labor starting at $0.99 fall below that range. Premium grips priced near $16 each push a professionally installed set above $200.

How Much Does It Cost to Regrip a Putter?

The cost of regripping a putter depends heavily on the chosen grip. Specialty putter grips at major retailers currently run around $20 to $35 or more. Golf Galaxy lists a $5.99 installation fee for a long or belly putter grip, while PGA TOUR Superstore lists putter installation starting at $0.99.

How Much Does It Cost to Regrip Irons Specifically?

For most irons, expect the grip price plus roughly $1 to $5 in installation labor. A standard $6.99 grip therefore costs between $8 and $12 installed at many shops. Regripping eight irons with grips in that range costs between $64 and $96, before tax or store-specific pricing.

Are Cheap Golf Grips Worth Buying, or Should You Spend More?

Lower-priced grips make sense when the size, texture, and feel suit your hands. Current rubber grips start near $3.99, while premium corded and alignment models cost several times more. Price alone does not determine fit. Try the grip in hand and choose the texture, firmness, and size you prefer.

Is It Worth It to Regrip Golf Clubs Yourself?

DIY makes sense for repeated regripping or a full set when local labor costs several dollars per club. A $19.99 13-club supply kit costs less than Golf Galaxy's roughly $52 labor bill for 13 standard installations. PGA TOUR Superstore's labor starting at $0.99 makes professional service cheaper for some first-time DIY golfers.

Where Can I Regrip Golf Clubs Near Me?

Search for golf repair shops, local pro shops, club fitters, DICK'S Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, or PGA TOUR Superstore in your area. Before visiting, call and ask for the installation price per club, grip price, putter rate, and turnaround time. Local pricing varies, so an all-in quote gives the clearest comparison.

What's the Cheapest Way to Regrip Golf Clubs?

The cheapest route depends on local labor. DIY usually is usually cheaper for repeated jobs because you reuse the tools. For a one-time set, a low-labor retailer might cost less. PGA TOUR Superstore currently starts at $0.99 per club, so compare that rate with the cost of buying DIY supplies before deciding.
