Star Grips
I had a nice response to the news that I was picking up Star Grips again for my catalog. The last report discussed the Sidewinder. I’m going to sell the entire Star Grips line with all available colors. Prices are going up about 50 cents after the first of the year so get your orders in now so save a little money. Orders of 6+ only, please.
Star Grip Smoothee
The Smoothee wrap grip, based on the design of the Star Classic Wrap, lacks perforations which allows more surface area to come in contact with the hand or glove for the ultimate tackiness. If an old-school leather wrap is the look and feel that you're after, then this is your grip. Classic. Retro. Smooth. The Smoothee is available in any color as long as it’s black. It’s 47 grams and .600. Price is $7.99 each. I can get about 10 or 12 grips in a flat rate envelope so shipping is $9-$10. Larger orders ship in mid or large flat rate boxes to save money. Send me a note to order. Picture of Smoothee below.
Star Grip Classic Wrap
The Star Classic Wrap is a soft, highly tacky seamless 360° grip made from a high-tack pure rubber compound. If you want a grip that will stick to your hands and not twist, this is the one! This grip provides a soft supple feel which is easy on the hands, while a classic perforated design gives your clubs a timeless look. The symmetrical 360° design, which is free of logos or alignment marks, is a great match for today's adjustable clubs. In Black, blue, red, or white and Standard 50g/Midsize 65g/Undersize 42g. $7.99 each for standard and undersize, $8.39 each for Midsize plus USPS Priority Flat rate shipping. Send me a note to order.
I really like the Midsize classic wrap, it has unique slots on the undersize of the grip for added grip/feel. Picture of Classic wrap below.
Star Grip Tour Star +
The Tour Star+ is a reduced-taper version of the Classic Wrap. Made from the same soft tacky rubber compound, this grip has a larger lower section - equal to 3-4 extra wraps of tape - which promotes reduced grip pressure in the lower hand. This results in less tension in the wrists and a more fluid swing. The additional thickness of this grip also provides the ultimate shock absorption which removes impact vibration to reduce stress on the hands and elbows. And just like all of their grips, the symmetrical 360° design which is free of logos or alignment marks is a great match for today's adjustable clubs. In Black, Blue, Red, and White. Standard 59g, oversize 80g. Standard is $7.99 each and oversize is $8.79 each plus USPS Priority Flat Rate Envelope shipping. Send me a note to order. Picture of Tour Star + below.
Star Grips SideWinder
The Star Sidewinder 360° is a high performance textured grip that provides firmer gripping control preferred by many golfers. The symmetrical "S" texture pattern was chosen to enhance directional grip on the club, similar to that provided by corded grips. Coupled with unprecedented durability, this grip is the perfect fit for the golf enthusiast who demands the ultimate performance and reliability from their grips. The symmetrical 360° design, which is free of logos or alignment marks, is a great match for today's adjustable clubs. In Black, Blue, Green, White, Orange, and Red. Limited quantities in some colors. Standard is .600, 50g $7.99 each. Midsize is 68g and $8.39 each plus USPS Priority Flat Rate Envelope shipping. Send me a note to order.

Short Shots
I post golf news/info to social media sites. My Twitter feed is here and my Clubmaker Online Facebook page is here.
Thanks to all waiting for orders for your patience. Yamada putter orders are getting close. I’m waiting for one more handmade putter to be made/shipped to me, the other putters have been built. If you ordered a Yamada putter recently I’m hoping to hear something in January. Hang in there. If you’re waiting for Hiskei shafted clubs my shipment is on the way and should arrive later this week assuming no customs issues. I should have extra shafts available to reshaft your OEM drivers or fairway woods or build you a Krank Driver to fit your swingspeed. The high loft Krank drivers (12 or 14 degree) with the faces built for very slow swingspeeds has been a hit combined with the Hiskei Wave shaft. Price is $399 plus shipping.
I’m heading to the PGA Show in January so I should have some news on new golf equipment for the 2022 season shortly. Stay tuned at the Clubmaker Report. Send me a note if you’d like me to check out any product in particular for you.
I bought software to finally upgrade the web site. I’ll probably keep the old pages in place so folks can look up the specs and old how to articles via Google search and simply start new with a home page and then some Hiskei, Fujikura, Star Grip, Mitsubishi, and Tour Edge product pages.
