Grip it golf is a hidden gem in the East Bay. The store has a lot of used equipment, including some custom items like a Ping Chipo to help with the chipping yips. AJ is incredibly knowledgeable and has a long history with golf equipment. He was able to adjust the lie angle on my clubs, which were cast, to make them perfectly fit my stance. Check this place out asap! read more

As a beginner golfer, I had been playing with irons from Marketplace and a driver I thought was a good online deal - only to learn they weren't suited to my size or skill level. AJ at Grip It Golf took the time to get my equipment dialed in properly, explaining "the why" throughout the entire process. He set me up with a great deal on a fitted set of irons and later matched my driver with the proper shaft. His turnaround time was impressively fast, his pricing is very reasonable, and his knowledge of the game and equipment is second to none. I will certainly be back as my game progresses and highly recommend Grip It Golf to anyone looking for a reputable shop! read more

What a gem of a local golf shop right down the street from me! I was looking at potentially getting my grips changed or my lie angle on my irons adjusted. AJ hopped on the phone with me and after I explained what I wanted to do, he advised me to do something different. When I brought the club in, he swapped my grip out super quickly. But, he also noticed that the ferrule wasn't flush with the shaft. The iron head had to be resealed. Taylormade doesn't do a great job at it and it happens from time to time with their irons. AJ said he could fix it and let me know it would cost $24.99. Not a bad price considering there's a lifetime warranty with it, he guaranteed that it won't come off. The grip was about $13 and I'm assuming the install was $5. My total for the reseal of the iron and change of grip was about $43. Not too bad considering if I didn't bring it into him, I wouldn't have known my 7i had to be resealed. I very well could've lost my 7i on the course or in the middle of a driving range. Definitely going to AJ for any and all golf related needs in the future! read more

Quick, efficient service. The modern world needs more old school shops where they know what they're doing and what they're talking about from experience. read more

Aljoe always takes care of my golf needs--he even sold me my first driver. I've had multiple shafts cut to my preferred length, traded in old clubs, and had all my past and current drivers and putters regripped there. On top of that, his prices are better than the big-box stores. There's no other golf shop I'd rather go to. read more

Highly recommend this place, I brought in a 5 iron that broke at the shaft and they had one in stock to replace it and also a 7 iron that needed to be re glued at the shaft to the iron. I dropped off Friday evening and he called Monday morning to be picked up. Very reasonably priced and great service. I'll be back, Thank you AJ read more

Great golf shop in Pinole. Nice selection, good atmosphere, and just a cool place to check out if you're a golfer. I'll definitely be back.

Excellent service from a knowledgable person who will be able to help with whatever issue you have. Highly recommended!

AJ was very helpful in picking the grips for my clubs and putter. He was able to re-grip everything in 30 minutes so I took a coffee and cheese danish treat across the street at the Bear Claw Bakery. New grips are great and well priced. read more

AJ was so helpful. He made sure my clubs were a great fit for me and gave me pointers. It made such a difference. I will recommend him to everyone! read more

AJ fixed (re-epoxied) my pitching wedge this morning while I browsed the excellent selection of pre-owned club sets that he has on display. I also wanted to get fitted just to confirm that my existing clubs are the right length for me. He took my measurements and then advised me on my options, encouraging me to stick with my current clubs and just practice and play more frequently before trying new ones. I also took some practice swings with a few irons that i wanted to try out (there's a practice tee in the shop) and purchased a sweet pre-owned Ping driver. AJ is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and answered all of my curveball questions. This is now my official golf shop. read more

5 out of 5 all around- professional, friendly, and very knowledgable! AJ is the man to go see. I let him know what I was experiencing with my new set and how the game has gotten less fun with how bad I was playing. After reviewing my swing and seeing where the contact was on the face, he knew immediately what was needed to be adjusted on my irons. He adjusted the lie angle to my irons and behold- i was hitting the middle of the face 90%-95% of the time. Even the misses weren't horrendous. With the adjustment and the new dope grips- AJ definitely got me to love the game again! Appreciate you AJ! read more

I was looking to get my irons re-shafted and weigh balanced but was having a hard time finding anyone that was not trained (or lack of training) in a retail outlet...wanted old school knowledge.....well I found it thanks to Yelp. From the minute I walked into the shop, you could tell this place was all business. I was greeted immediately by AJ and I explained what I was looking for. He steered me in all the right directions from weighting, to lie angles too grips. I kid you not, I walked out and 3 days later my entire set to Titleist irons were all ready. AJ spent time with me on every iron adjusting the lies until they were perfect. I have never been so happy with a set of clubs. Now I have no excuses when I hit a bad shot. I will NEVER buy another club w/o having AJ set it up for me. Liked Grip it Golf so much that I sent my playing partner down and he did the exact same build. Do yourself a favor....buys balls at the big box store but if you are a player...go see AJ for all your club builds. read more

There is a reason AJ gets so many 5 star reviews. I went in to ask what do I look for in new irons. He was super informative, not pushy and really broke things down. My clubs were my dads old clubs that I had jus been playing with for a while. I've been playing more often so I wanted to updated my irons. He had the perfect set for me. He measured by wrist to flood and based on my height, there was a used set in my budget with new grips. I played my first round with them yesterday and felt super good with the new set. I need to take my other clubs I am keeping to get re gripped and will be going back soon. read more

Aljoe the owner is just the best! Always makes time for you and takes the time to listen to your needs and answers your questions with honest advice and recommendations then can help you with a great selection of CLUBS, GRIPS, SHAFTS, CLUB ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIRS - EVERYTHING FROM GOLF BAGS TO BALLS. Even helped me with my granddaughters first putter....great guy, great service, great shop!! read more

AJ was awesome. I went in with the hopes of getting fitted and buying a new set of irons. He has a great selection and is very informative. He measured my WTD and ended up changing all my shaft lengths by an inch, including my putter. He was very reasonable with the price and was generous with additional offerings. Highly suggest going to him for any fitting needs or re-gripping. He makes quick work and had me in and out within a few hours. read more

My golf coach suggested I have someone check my off-the-rack wedges and have them fit for me. I live close to Pinole so decided to call AJ to see if he could help. He told me to come on in, so I brought my wedges along with my short irons to see what he could do. Within an hour he made some measurements and adjustments to 6 clubs and sent me on my way for just over $100. What was great is that he explained what he was doing, and how it would affect my swing. He also reused my newish grips. If I need further adjustments he will do them free of charge. I'll definitely be going back for service. Great shop, great service! read more

My name is David Na, I am a professional golfer here in the Bay Area. I've been chasing the PGA Tour since 2020 playing in Monday qualifiers, q schools, and mini tours all over the country. During my journey AL Joe has been the guy I've been going to for all my grips, repairs, and loft/lies. His attention to detail is what separates himself from all the other golf shops here in the Bay Area. His knowledge for clubs is spot on and I trust his work. Him being a one man shop, AL takes great care of his customers and his craft. He's been a great help to my journey. Hard to find people like him in this industry. Thank you AL! read more

I was given a set of Taylormade Preferred Irons and Wedges from a friend, who recommended me to have them sized and re-gripped for myself. I came to the shop not sure what I was doing sincr I am a beginner. Mike and especially AJ, were very accommodating and helpful with what I was looking for. Got a good deal with all my irons and wedges sized and gripped. Also bought a used 56° wedge to complete my set (also sized and gripped). Will definitely be back for a driver and recommend anyone to check out this shop! read more

Nice small business. Friendly and fast service. Everything you need and more. I love this place.

Great service and Al is very accommodating to all your needs. This is a full service shop. Same day service on most jobs.

AJ and Mike are the only guys I trust to touch my clubs. I change clubs way too much. I've been going to them ever since they opened. They go above and beyond. Best customer service. read more

I bought my 1st set of clubs from here. The owner is very nice and knowledgeable. I've also got my putter re gripped while I waited 5 min. This place is awesome. read more

AJ and the guys at Grip It Golf are absolutely amazing! I needed some length added to my irons and some new grips. AJ measured me and we determined how much length was needed as well as what size grips would be good. The clubs were finished in a few days and the craftsmanship is outstanding. When I came to pick them up I inquired about a new hybrid for myself. I was given a fantastic deal on a pre owned Titleist 818 H2 which AJ offered to install a new midsize grip on for me. The grip was a black and blue version of what I got on my Irons and it matched the hybrids shaft perfectly. These guys are true artisans who care about your golf game. read more

First time there. Met Aljoe. I haven't golfed for 2 decades. Place is welcoming and cozy. I got all 14 of my LCG Taylor Made clubs regripped. I bought a nice used Taylor R15. He gave me a fair price and I spent less for the used driver, regripped my clubs w very nice winn grips and I spent less money than what I thought I would spend for 1 new driver. Aljoe was friendly, trust worthy and knowledgeable. The place is small but very functional. Practice your swing. Putt away. Watch a little golf. Strike up a little convo. And before you know it, your clubs are regripped. Definitely will be returning to Pinole. I live 20 mins away, but, will be making the trip for all my golf needs and questions. read more

I was looking for a kid's golf club for my son. Right after we got in the store, AJ took care of it right away! He measured my son's height and found the best one for him in a minute! And he even let him try to hit balls at his store! AJ also gave me useful information about the golf lessons around my area! Awesome store and what great customer service!! I will definitely go back to this wonderful golf store! read more

Ajols is a good guy. Little shop but he knows his equipment and has lots of stuff for sale

If you your a golfer or partnered with a golfer you need to know about Grip It. Aljoe, owner, is a great guy who's always open to helping and giving "honest" advice. It's probably a good thing he doesn't serve food and drinks cause the small shop would stay packed with golfers telling lies about their last round. Just goes to show it has a great vibe. read more

This place is a must for any golfer, ESPECIALLY beginners. I started golfing a few months ago, and decided it was time to get fitted. AJ, one of the two golf technicians, fitted me to the tee! He spent over 30min figuring out the best fit in clubs. At no time did I feel he was up selling me for the highest priced set, rather he showed me multiple options, and explained each set in detail. I ended up picking up a used titleist set, they feel great, look great and priced great. I appreciate the overall experience of the fitting, and I am looking forward to coming back for all my golfing needs. This Place Is A Must! read more

AJ is fantastic. Helped me pick golf grips to help with my carpal tunnel. He even looked into other aspects of my clubs and swings to see any other issues. He diagnosed the issues and adjusted one of my clubs and it made a world of difference. Anyone in the area I recommend going to AJ and he'll get things done for you, his experience and great attitude is just amazing. read more

Excellent golf shop to get your golf clubs regripped with short turn around times. Usually same day. They also sell golf clubs. read more

AJ is a very knowledgeable golf guru! He went through my options I went in with the thought of customizing a driver head using my current driver shaft (I had wanted it to match my set) or buying a new club (My personality would be to buy a whole new set that I'm not ready for) or a used driver club. He patiently explained (and showed me) features such as different flexible graphite shafts. I am so pleased with the used driver with a new grip! To top the experience off, he trimmed my old driver into a #3 fairway club (I didn't have one) and gave me a new grip. AJ- Thank you!! P.s. I plan to visit you again, I need a sand wedge! read more

I went in to get my clubs re gripped. I mentioned to AJ that a few of my longer irons were producing more mishits than I expected. He checked the lie on the clubs and they were off compared to the other irons. He was able to adjust the lie and now the clubs are moving through the turf smoothly. AJ re-gripped my clubs while I waited which was super convenient as I drove a ways to get there. I highly recommend. read more

I don't know why I waited so long to get fitted. I recently bought a new set of irons, and decided to go to AJ to get fitted as he was recommended by some co workers and friends. With AJ, you get the knowledge and passion for golf that is rare to find at the big box stores. Whether you are a seasoned scratch player, or new to golf, you will feel comfortable here. AJ is quick and thorough, and did an amazing job with my p790's and the prices are great. I came from Vacaville for his services, and will continue to do so. Cant recommend him enough, already have my uncle and friend that are going to go to him. read more
