Choosing the Best Grip Material for Long Island's Climate

Understanding Grip Materials and Long Island Climate

Long Island’s climate features humid summers and cool, windy winters. Choosing the right grip material helps golfers maintain control and feel year-round.

Rubber Grips: Versatile and Affordable

Rubber grips are popular for their affordability and comfortable feel. On Long Island, rubber grips handle spring and fall moisture well but may become slick in peak humidity. Regular cleaning and timely replacement ensure optimal performance.

Corded Grips: Enhanced Traction

Corded grips include fibers woven into the rubber to provide extra traction in wet conditions. They are ideal for Long Island golfers who play through summer humidity or early morning dew. However, they can feel abrasive, so choose them if you prioritize grip over comfort.

Synthetic and Polymer Grips: Weather-Resistant Options

Advanced synthetic or polymer grips offer excellent all-weather performance. These materials resist moisture and temperature swings, making them a great choice for Long Island’s varied seasons. Though slightly more expensive, they often last longer and require less maintenance.
