Club Grips
I replaced the grips on my clubs myself yesterday. It's very easy to do if you have a vise. I got 13 Golf Pride grips with the install kit from Amazon for 80 bucks. It even came with a rubber gizmo to hold the club in your vise. Youtube has many video's on it. Use plenty of solvent.

Don't like the solvent they provide...

Or you can blow the grips on with a compressor and eliminate the solvent and the double sided tape. And you can remove and reinstall the grip if you need to.

This is what I like about TOTV! I didn't know about this technique so I youtubed it. All I can say is WOW, who knew! I rigged up an attachment for my compressed air sprayer and was even able to remove the old grip almost effortlessly, I built up the shaft a little with two layers of painters tape and slid the new grip right on without solvent. What a convenience! Now I can pop grips on and off to adjust the build up as I wish! Thanks sooooo much for this tip! |

Taking the old grip off, it did balloon up a little because the grip stayed sealed on the bottom. I slid a very thin metal flat head screwdriver between the grip and the shaft and then it came right off.

I've been using the compressor method for a long time. To keep from ballooning I cut a plastic golf club tube(the kind that goes in your bag to protect clubs) about a foot long and put that over the grip/shaft before using air. I also got the adapter that slides in the end of the grip kinda like a long fat basketball needle. Cost about five bucks at Harbor Freight. This is the best method ever. Takes about 10 minutes to do a set of 13 and they are ready to play with right away. No waiting for solvent to dry.

....or if you are not handy or don't have the right equipment, Jim's Golf will put on new grips for $2.00 each.

Brought my club to Jim's golf….$2.00 to change the grip!! Took less than 5 minutes. I was told to wait 24 hours for glue to set and ready to play!! Cheaper than buying everything yourself.
