Golf Club Wraps vs Grip Tape: What's the Difference?

Posted by Stick It Golf on

People new to wraps sometimes ask if they're like grip tape. They're not — they live in different parts of the club and do different jobs.

Grip tape: under the grip

Grip tape is the double-sided adhesive that sits under your rubber grip to hold it on. You never see it. Its only job is installation.

Wraps: on the shaft, on show

A Stick It wrap goes on the shaft, below the grip, where everyone can see it. It's about two things: looks and protection. Bold colour or stealth matte on the outside; scratch and scuff protection for the shaft underneath.

Can you use both? Yes.

They don't overlap. Grip tape holds your grip; a wrap customises and protects the shaft. Most wrapped clubs still have standard grip tape doing its quiet job up top.

So if you want your clubs to look custom and stay protected, a wrap is what you're after — it fits every club and goes on at home in minutes.
