Hand-Cut Leather Grips
I’m pretty particular when it comes to choosing leather grips for my pre-1935 hickory golf clubs and pre-1904 gutty golf clubs. I want something that provides good grip and comfort without adding unnecessary bulk that might negatively affect my desired swing weight.
Dark Brown
For pre-1935 hickory golf clubs, my preferred grip is a lower weight leather (2-2-2.5 ounces) with a durable suede side. The dark brown grips offered here meet that criteria and are the grips I use on all of the refurbished pre-’35 hickory golf clubs I offer. Hand-cut from a full side of premium cowhide, these grips are a little slick on the dark brown pebble (smooth) side, so the tan suede-side is my preference with its minimal nap and good grip.

If you prefer a beefier grip for your clubs no matter how it might affect swing weight, these thicker (3-3.5 ounce) grey cowhide grips are a great option for both pre-’35 hickory clubs and gutty clubs. Again, I prefer the bluish suede side on these, but the pebble (smooth) side has a matte finish that I think will provide great grip as well.

These gold cowhide grips are similar in thickness to the grey grips and provide a very comfortable grip. Because of their color and heavier weight, I like to use these on pre-1904 gutty clubs. Not only do they better match the original russet leather grips found on gutty clubs, but they’re also thick and durable enough to work for heavier gutty clubs. On some very heavy pre-1900 niblicks that are off the swing weight scale, a grip like this over two or three layers of friction tape will provide a very thick and comfortable grip will bringing the swing weight down to a more manageable weight.
