We all like to make our hard-earned money go as far as possible when it comes to purchasing things and that mindset should continue especially when it comes to our golf gear. As a result, in this video we have taken a look at seven different ways you can extend the lifespan of all your golfing equipment whether it be clubs (opens in new tab), shoes (opens in new tab), gloves and so on.
WATCH – 7 Ways To Make Your Gear Last Longer
Wedges

It is a fact that you will not create as much spin with an old model when compared to a new wedge (opens in new tab). This is because the grooves get worn down and filled with a variety of different materials like sand, grass, mud, etc. Obviously this has a significant effect on the amount of spin you can create on the greens and it also effects the ball-flight. So our first tip is to guard against this degradation.
One way you can do this is to not hit hard range balls with the lofted club you use most often in your short game. Another tip is, if you practice your short game regularly, it might even be worth using a slightly older wedge and not the one you currently have in the bag. Obviously we understand that not everyone has two lob wedges (opens in new tab) to use for practice but if you do then perhaps this tip might be worth implementing into your game.
Cleaning Grips
Give your golf clubs a new lease of life by cleaning your golf grips with hot, soapy water. As they are the only thing coming into contact with your hands, a thorough clean should be achieved every few months or so.
Headcovers
General wear and tear on clubs is common so one way to deal with this is using headcovers (opens in new tab) especially on the driver and putter. Additionally, when it rains we recommend taking your head covers off and letting them dry before replacing them on your clubs.
