Yes is the short answer, but for more than one reason, it's not easy to hold onto a shiney grip as it requires you to hold the club tightly which is really bad , by tightening your grip it contracts your muscles thus shortening them, It also creates tension which stops your body moving freely, this ultimately leads to bad swings and poor golf.
So if you don't know how to clean them carry on reading.
Firstly you will need the following
Hot water
Bucket
Wire scouring pad
Soap
Towel
Elbow grease
Start by dipping your grip into the water, rub soap all over the grip and scrub the grip using the wire scouring pad until it starts to squeak.
Keep dipping the grip in hot water and you'll be surprised how much black comes of it, repeat this a couple of times until your happy that your grip is clean.
To finish dry the grip using your towel and leave near a rdiator to dry out completely
Compare it to a grip that you haven't cleaned and prepare to be amazed.
This should be repeated as soon as you feel your grips start to lose their tackiness.
Hope this helps
Happy Golfing
