You know that feeling when you’re mid-swing and your club twists in your hands because the grip is soaked? Yeah, no one likes that. Playing golf in wet conditions is already a challenge, but doing it with the wrong grips is like trying to drive on bald tires in a rainstorm — dangerous, frustrating, and totally avoidable.

When things get slick, the last thing you want is to question your connection to the club. That’s why having the right golf grips for rainy or humid conditions makes all the difference. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or grinding through tournaments, upgrading your grip game is a must if you want to stay consistent no matter the weather.

JD’s Club knows performance isn’t just about your swing or your custom shaft — it starts where your hands meet the club.

Why Grip Matters When It’s Wet

Here’s the thing: moisture kills consistency. Even the best shaft in the world won’t save you if your hands are slipping during impact. When grips get wet, traction decreases, pressure changes, and before you know it, your shot's sailing into the next fairway over.

Bad weather doesn’t wait for a better forecast. And most of us aren’t ducking out of a round just because of a little rain or humidity. That’s why it's so important to use grips designed to perform when the course gets damp. Better control means better shots. Period.

The right grip doesn’t just help your swing — it boosts confidence. When you know your club isn’t going anywhere mid-shot, you can swing fully and freely.

Top Materials for All-Weather Grip Performance

Not all grips are created equal, especially when wet weather is in the mix. Here’s a quick rundown of materials that actually hold up when things get slippery:

• Corded Grips: These are the go-to for wet conditions. A rough texture and embedded cords wick moisture away and give you that secure, gritty feel. Great for players who want a firm connection without squeezing the life out of the club.
  

• Rubber Grips: Standard rubber grips are decent for dry rounds, but they tend to get slick in humidity or rain. However, some rubber grips are textured specifically for added friction.
  

• Hybrid Grips: Like the Golf Pride MCC line, hybrids combine rubber and cord in one grip — best of both worlds. Great traction in the upper hand, comfort in the lower.
  

• Polymer Grips: Brands like Winn offer softer, cushioned grips that absorb moisture well but may wear faster in tough conditions.
  

The real trick is grip texture. Look for patterns that channel water away and give your hands a reliable surface to hang on to, even if it’s pouring out.

Recommended Golf Club Grips for Wet Conditions

Here are a few top-tier grip choices you’ll want to consider before your next rainy tee time:

• Golf Pride MCC Plus4
  A hybrid grip with extra lower-hand cushioning and excellent upper-hand traction. It holds up in wet rounds and gives a confident, sturdy feel.
  

• Lamkin Crossline Full-Cord
  Durable, all-weather grip with a super grippy surface. Cord runs throughout, making it one of the most dependable options for wet conditions.
  

• Winn Dri-Tac
  Soft and tacky feel with moisture-wicking properties. Not corded, but still surprisingly good in the rain. Great for players who like a softer grip.
  

• SuperStroke Traxion Tour
  Known for oversized putter grips, but their standard grips feature textured zones for enhanced grip stability in various weather conditions.
  

Pro tip: You can grab most of these grip options when you order your custom shaft from JD’s Club. Why not upgrade both at once?

How Often Should You Replace Your Grips in Humid or Rainy Climates?

Even the best wet-weather grip won’t last forever. Constant exposure to rain, sweat, and humid air wears them down faster than you think.

Here’s how you know it’s time:

• They feel slick, even when dry
  

• They’ve gone shiny or hard
  

• You start gripping tighter just to hold on
  

If you play regularly in humid or rainy climates, you might want to regrip at least once a season. And if you’re playing multiple rounds a week? Don’t wait — keep a few fresh grips in rotation.
