I regrip mine and others clubs all the time. Tips are: get a table and a vise. Hook cutter is key. Use precut tape. Might cost more but easier to work with. Practice on an older club before your gamers. Don't skimp on solvent. Many grips have a center line or dot on the them by shaft. I put a Sharpie dot on shaft to help line up next grip. Comes off easy with some solvent. After a few you will get the hang of it.
Also brake cleaner on a rag will get rid of all the old residue leaving the shaft completely clean of everything left behind from old grip/tape.
Some good tips….
Once you get it moving up the club shaft….don’t stop! Run it straight up.
Next level item is by looking at the butt of the grip, there is usually words/writing….whether you want logo up…or logo down… try to get those words to go 9 o’clock 3 o’clock orientation .
Small amount of the solvent on a paper towel to clean and wipe down the shaft from grip to club head. Make it look clean and professional.
Good job on explaining the process. Thanks for sharing
I used compressed air to put my new grips on as you showed in another video... 👍
Me, too - and it works great
BRILLIANT!! the tape tip... thats always been my bug bear😅😅
Great video. Thank you.
Best regripping video!!!
I would add that when working with graphite shafts you want the hook blade to cut the grip on an angle avoiding the paint on the graphite shaft.
Thanks for the tip👍🏽
I just regripped my clubs and by the fourth last one I found a trick. Slice the grip, don’t pull it off. Peel it off by rolling one end around the shaft. It pulls the tape off with it.
Don't suppose you could make a vid on how you added glue to the 101Ts please?
Have ever installed a lamkin fingerprint putter grips
You don’t need tape and you better load up on solvent cuz it’s a bear to get on
If you have tips for that grip install please share
I just pulled the grip off my 'new to me' driver.... the used club dealer I bought from uses some very frustrating clear tape that was horrifically sticky AND tore apart!
Took me almost an hour picking away at it with the shaft and my hands coated in turps to remove it all 😮💨
Did you use a heat gun or hair dryer to help remove the tape. I know that clean tape you're referring to and it is a beast to get off by hand.
I've never re-gripped a club before but would like to experiment with a few different grips on one of my clubs before deciding what's right for me. My current Callaway grips don't really have an alignment line as such, more an upward and downward 'kind-of' arrow that is part of the grip design, so it is very difficult to see how it is lined up with the club head. Can anyone give me some advice as to how to correctly align the new grips? ie. should the sole of the club be pointing to 12 o'clock and the alignment marks on the new grip be directly in line with the edge of the sole? Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
Can you do a video on building a combo iron set please? I'm looking at mizuno irons and on their site you can basically make a combo out of everything. Anything would help. Been leaning towards the 223s
i like very much your tips about regripping en reshafting
but i didnt directly find a answer to my question:
when you regrip a club you can align the grip, some grips are especially made for this , but you can also choose to NOT align your grip with the head .
now the question : when you reshaft a club : are the shafts especially made to align in a certain way with the head or can you turn the shaft and so create a special pattern :
does this work with steel shafts and also with grafite shafts?
This will depend who you ask. If you have a quality shaft then it does not matter how you orient the shaft, it will play the same.
Not everyone shares this view but be aware the vast majority who don't are trying to sell you something.
Recently I had a devil of a time regripping using acetone. It sounds ridiculous, but it seemed like it shrunk the opening of the grip. I went back to mineral spirits and the grips went on easily again.
Don't use acetone, not a good idea.
Does the tape overlap?
Silly question... Do you not have to take the 2nd side off of the double sided tape facing the grip?
The double-sided tape has heavy white paper on the outer side. You need to remove this
If I want two wraps of tape do I just peel first layer and place a 2nd on top? How difficult is it when sticky sides meet?
Better to use masking tape to build up the size simply because it's way cheaper. But you can just as easily use multiple layers of double sided.
My tip,,,dont skimp on the solvent!!
Almost ruined a 35 dollar Superstroke putter grip because it wasn't wet enough,,luckily I had it nearby and could save it.
Good tip: Ive wasted one of these grips because I got stuck about halfway through the process!
like your vidios can you please tell me where to buy your tape
Golfworks
believe me get a vice and rubber shaft clamp very cheap i can put a whole set of grips on in half an hour craphite shafts if you use aplain blade just roll the old grip up the fhaft i " at a time and cut you wont cut the shaft
I was taught using contact cement, which makes it easy to blow out later; but I like my brain cells.
What is your opinion on using soapy water instead of solvent? I tried it once and it came loose when I played my next round. I don't have a vise and I have changed my old set. Lot of good tips!!🏌♂⛳
I have not tried it so not sure why yours came loose. Maybe they just weren't dry enough??
@@EFGMC thanks for the reply. I don’t know but I think I will stick with the solvent. Right now I have new grips so I won’t have to regrip for a bit!!
I use white spirit just as good as grip solvent.. it evaporates quickly and WAYY cheaper...
@@davidcooper3317 that is what I used but I tried soapy water once😬
@@ZaxDrumsandGolf I'd imagine with soapy water, once the water had evaporated, you'd still be left with the soap component, so it would be essentially like you had smeared a very thin layer of soap between the inside of the grip and the grip tape.
