How often do you:

1- re-grip your clubs?
2- check loft angles?
3- buy new irons?
4- buy new wedges?
5- buy new driver?

For me

1- never done it, but am curious about it
2- never
3- 5+ years since my last set, considering might be time
4- 5 years also, not sure if i will really benefit from fresh grooves or not
5- mine works, not considering it unless it breaks

1- re-grip your clubs? Never, but irons and wedges would benefit.
2- check loft angles? Never
3- buy new irons? Whenever Xhot irons came out. 7 years ago...
4- buy new wedges? Never
5- buy new driver? Just replaced my Callaway X hot for a Pkng G410 SFT. driving was the best part of my game, but wanted 20+ extra yards.. struggling with the Ping. Massive draw on 70% of drives... ruining my game since I got it... hopefully I'll get used to it soon. It is set up to encourage a draw, but I'd like to reset it to neutral if that's possible with the SFT version..

1- Re Grip as needed. Current iron grips and wedge grips are two years old. Will be re gripped soon. Huge difference if the grips are bad.
2- Got it done twice on second hand irons. I have lessons before I'd even think of it changing from play/practice.
3- Current custom fit irons two years, no plans to change yet. Before that about 1 season ( second hand)
4- Every 1.5 years or so. The 60° is the one I want to replace as i chip most and use in bunkers most, but I replace all of them.
5- Bought a new driver last year, about two years before then. No plans to change yet.

Most of my clubs have been with me two years since I was 21hc a few years back to 16hc now.

1- re-grip your clubs? More frequently than I used to. Certainly once every 2 years.
2- check loft angles? Never have had this done. Probably should.
3- buy new irons? Last few years have seen too much chopping and changing. Longest Ive gone with a set is probably 6 or 7 years. Have my current set about 2 years.
4- buy new wedges? Every 12 to 18 months.
5- buy new driver? as with irons, more than I should. Always experimenting, interchangeable shafts makes it worse.

1- re-grip your clubs? A part that I probably over look but I do clean grips every few weeks, still nice and tacky after a clean
2- check loft angles? - twice a season, luckily I know someone who has the equipment to check loft & lie angles f.
3- buy new irons? - Have my irons since 2013, plan to get fitted for new ones October. Waiting to see what Mizuno release.

RoadRunner

1- re-grip your clubs?
Regripped them all recently with the exact same grip to keep consistency across the set
link to grip on ebay

@once a week playing this will do me for years

2- check loft angles?
Never

3- buy new irons?
Was switching each year while I figured out what I like & don't. A bit more comfortable now, so this set I tailored to my own needed and will probably keep for another year. I tend to buy used irons.

4- buy new wedges?
about every 2 years. My 58 Cleveland's face is worn a bit now but still performing well enough for me. I tend to buy new wedges.

5- buy new driver?
I'm on a new driver (head). Last one lasted me ~3 years, this one should get me at least 3 more. I'll stick with the same shaft moving forwards and keep this for as long as I can swing it right. Tend to buy new model driver that's been hit a few times (for a reduced price) stick in my own shaft and sell the shaft that comes with it.

1- re-grip your clubs? I regripped my Ping Zinger with a Super Stroke Square grip. I bought it in 1999 and replaced it in 2016 with a Cleveland Smart Square. With the new grip I much prefer the Ping so I am going to sell on my Cleveland.

2- check loft angles? Never

3- buy new irons? I bought a set of McGregor Irons in 1997, and replaced them with Mizuno MX100s in 2007. I was only an occasional golfer. In 2019 I joined a club and played the MX100s till November when I decided technology had probably moved on and a new set were in order. Black Friday deals were taken advantage of and a graphite set of Taylorade M6 5-SW were bought. I really like em. I can hit the 8, 9, PW and SW well. I like the 6i and 7i but need to work on the 5i.

4- buy new wedges? I havee a 52 and 60 MeGregor somethings from 1997. I regripped and sharpened the groves, but I hit the SW form the M set so much better that I am retiring them. I'll be looking for a replacement 52, don't think I need to worry about anything higher lofted than the SW I have.

5- buy new driver? Drivers followed the same cycle. McGregor 401c I think it was from 1997, then a Mizuno MX700 and now Taylormade M6 since November.
