When a grip gets to the point where there’s corroding, no amount of soapy solution, sandpaper or any other additive will restore it. But there is a small window of opportunity right before the grip starts deteriorating where the grip is losing its tackiness, but it’s merely superficial and on the outside layer.
Will sanding your grip act as a temporary band-aid? What I found was fine-grit sandpaper (100 grit and above) used gently can help roughen up the surface and lend more traction. But the fix was short-lasting. After a round or two with sanded grips, you’ll find you need to keep sanding them down to maintain friction and, well, there isn’t any point to keep your grips on life support. Eventually, you get to the point where it’s time to pony up for some new handles, which you should do every season anyway, especially if you’re playing regularly throughout the year.
The takeaway: Lightly sanding your grips works, but only in the short term. If you’re in a hurry and want to add some texture to your grips, it’s a great way to do so before changing up your grips altogether.
