Thank you. Just built this yesterday using a different drill press/workbench vise I picked up at Home Depot. Was super easy to build and beats the heck out of trying to regrip a handful of clubs while pushing the clubhead into the ground while trying to maintain enough leverage to get the grip fully installed.
So glad I found your channel, great content and easy to follow!
Glad you did find it. Welcome!
Very well thought out, and a great lower cost option than the gripping stations available.
Thanks for watching. Sort of the "lean to" of regripping.
Man great idea thanks this helped a ton 👍🏼
Great idea. I would’ve tried it if I didn’t already have a workaround. I use a Black and Decker Workmate ($30) with one of those cheap rubber shaft clamps that comes with regripping kits. Then I brace it against a wall and put a bucket under the grip to catch the solvent.
I like it!
Video starts at 2:30 for anyone just watching this
Nice video, was wondering where one would get that clamp. Thanks
That one came from Golfworks.
great content , information etc , just have to try and source that clamp here in the UK. There is an old TH-cam video of an old club fitter Jim McLain making a re -grip station without the vice.
You should be able to find some lightweight shaft clamp. Doesn't have to be the one I used. Anything compact and light would be great.
@@EFGMC great idea about the paint tray as well, why didn't I think of that lol makes sense
@@kevinmcarthur2389 I picked that idea up from an old club maker 20 years ago, still nothing better for me.
thank you so much
I stumbled on this video and like the idea. I live in Key West and space is a premium, so this concept is right on. Can you share what clamp you used or others you may recommend?
Another modification I may try is instead of using the small piece at the end and using the wall for support, I thought I might try flipping it around and that piece to catch the front edge of a table or bench. It might make it easier to use if you don't have a wall (like outside) and it's easier to mount one of the commercially available solvent tray reclaim systems.
I used one of the shaft clamps from Golfworks but honestly most of the available ones are pretty similar unless they are pneumatic.
Let me know how your modification works out.
@@EFGMC I just finished a modification of your design. As mentioned above, I place a 1x1 under the main body (I used a 2x6) to catch a table or bench versus pushing on a wall. I made a couple other modifications. I'll send you an email with the pictures. Living in Key West, space is a premium. So your concept was perfect. Thanks!
Howdy! Thanks for this video. I am definitely going to create one for myself. Quick question, I've been searching all over for the Vice you are using, could you direct me to where you purchased it? Thanks!
The clamp I use for the rig came from Golfworks. Pretty sure they still sell the exact same one but honestly any golf shaft clamp can be used.
I appreciate your sharing. If I wanted to just adjust a grip, would I need to remove it completely ?
Not if you just installed it and it's still wet. Probably have 5 minutes to adjust. If it's dry, you would need to remove.
Can you post a comment to a link for that clamp/vice? Thanks!
Here is the link to the Rubber Cement regrip video I did.

Timing is excellent. I live in a condo and have been a clubmaker for over 23 years. BUT, my shop is in MI and I am in FL. Live in a 1100 sq ft condo, so space is an issue, just as you mentioned. Really like this idea. What do you think about a portable workbench to "clamp" the 2x4 into? Would also add the drip pan on the other end. Just need to find a safe way to remove the grips. Thanks for the video.
That sounds like it would work as long as you still have a wall or similar to brace against when sliding the grips on.
As far as removing grips, you can always just use some utility scissors as a safe option. It's not the fastest way but it works. I used this method when I did a video about using rubber cement to regrip clubs. Those weren't the best scissors for it but still worked.

@@EFGMC I bit the bullet and ordered a Keter Folding Work Table and the necessary equipment/items (vice, heat gun, solvent, grip tape, etc). Will still go with your idea of the 2x4 but add another piece of wood on the vice side, in order to attach the grip solvent pan. Anxious to get this all set up. Is going to be different than my shop in MI, but think it will work. Glad I saw your video.
@@mkbaker23 Would love to see it when done!
@@EFGMC will send pics when all done. Can I send via this area?
@@mkbaker23 Maybe? If not then

Thanks for the video buddy where can I buy the Wise clam can you
Let us know please
There are a few options on Golfworks.com
including the one I used in video.
@@EFGMC Thank you very much buddy
How long were the bolts that you used? @ 2”?
Hey AJ. If you have a shaft puller station that already has a shaft clamp, why wouldn't you use that for re-gripping too?
Shaft puller usually can only hold the tip end of the shaft. The butt end on mine at least will not fit into the puller. You really need to be able to clamp the shaft on the grip side to do regrips and not risk damaging the shaft.
@@EFGMC OK. Thanks for the reply AJ.
I love your content. Hopefully no offense is taken, but you can get a decent 4-5" vice for around this price if you look... and Amazon has the rubber clamps for them running around $5... I think that would just be the easier way to go. :)
Those are all good options also. My thoughts with this method would be for people who don't have someplace to mount a vise onto, like apartments, condos etc.
@@EFGMC you’re absolutely right! 😊 great content! I love watching your videos!
Don you then just put the rubber clamp in the vice each time or is it permanently put into the vice?
@@russellh2513 Mine is built into the vise, but some won't be.
Can you send a pic if you don’t mind if what that looks like - debating on buying a normal vice and then the clamp or the golf one already built in. Thank you.
As of June 2023 it looks like they no longer make that model. The newer one has bolts that go sideways. The metal frame on that one does not look as strong.
So I’m assuming that would require a wide piece of wood.
I still see it on the website.

Thanks!!!! I didn’t see it before on their website
@@EFGMC
It arrived today. I had already made the 2x4 rig ahead of time. I did not realize it came with a metal bar already mounted at the bottom. That looks like it’s to be used in an existing vise. I removed the bolts and used those in the wood. I Then drilled the holes near one side of the 2 x 4. That was to allow the mechanism that holds the club to line up somewhat down the middle of that length of 2x4.
I’m going to start doing grips tomorrow . I also made marks along the length of the wood with a ruler. I marked the correct length of the grip tape. This way, it’s the exact correct length, including a bit extra to wrap over the open end of the shaft.
Thanks again!
what about the tub that catches the excess solvant?
You could attach some screws to hold a painters tray, or just have a bucket set underneath.
What size bolts did you use on the clamp?
I want to say 1 3/4 inch. Just has to be long enough to pass through the 2x4 and the base plate of the clamp so yours might need a slightly different size than mine.
Nice idea
Thanks for watching!
Does changing the grips change the balance?
Yes, if the grips are a different weight. Most standard size grips weigh about 50g, but if you move into midsize the weight jumps up to 62g and the balance will be different.
@@EFGMC I changed my standard grips to Brysons ultra lite. Now I don’t know what to do.
@@briangraham1725 I think those grips are still around 50g. I think the girth of them totally changes the "feel" of everything.
@@EFGMC agreed, thank you for your response.
What diameter bolt size did you use?
Think I used 3/8th. Based it off the size of the holes in the shaft clamp I used. That's probably what matters most.
Too expensive.
