Trying to install your own grips can become a nightmare, if you don't get it install all the way on the first try you will have to cut out, it will not budge in or out no mater how hard you try.
By the time you pay for the grips and the shipping you are better of going to a local business and have them install then.
The golf shop on CR-466 just east of Morse Blvd. is good place to try. (Golf Pride tour wrap is provably the best grip for the money)

I do mine. Usually find good prices on Amazon for Winn grips, the tape, and solvent. I have finally put tubes in my bag and that should reduce the grips wearing down.

Yep, Johnny's Birdie Golf on 466. I would never step foot into Edwin Watts, not even to buy tee's after they reshafted my woods and the heads flew off two days later on the first round, first strike of use.
Don't know if Johhny's is open right now.

Johnny’s Birdie Golf on 466, is the best place for ALL of your golfing needs. No I don’t work for them, just a happy customer.

Notice some are having problems removing the old grips..
First get or buy a good hook knife, hold the knife at a 45 degree angle and slice the handle down the middle all the way down with a single stroke, grip pills right off grabbing from the top folding out and downwards.
If problem removing the old tape, damp with "Goo Gone" wait a few minutes then pill of..

Use utility knife with roofing hook blade, cuts on two sides and grip peels off easily.

I have always regripped by own. I have been using an air compressor to install my grips without adhesive tape. It makes it easier to install, remove and adjust as needed. Google "Install golf grips with compressed air"

Works great on a metal shaft, but don’t use that meathod on a graphite shaft unless you want to have to replace the shaft also. The hardest part about regripping clubs is getting the old grips off graphite shafts without scratching the graphite.

Well I don't golf but if I did I'd probably do it myself. I think it would be kinda fun.

Most of my clubs are graphite shafts and I use the process I had posted earlier.
But it all goes like this:
Some can and some can't, I can with no damage to the shafts..

Nah, the Sarasota Custom Club Shop is the best place. Too many people with attitudes in the other two places.
