As usual, really great tips and tricks. I am guilty of all the above listed - 😂 - Only after some expensive trial and error did I figure it out. I use a new grip and measure the length, then make a cardboard template to ensure I did’t stretch the thing when installing or, compressing it either.

Great tips!!! I used to do it the traditional way, but now with air it's a 2 second process with no mess. Love the channel 👍

@EFGMC 10 ай бұрын

I do plenty of air also. After thinking about it, these tips work for air install also. Air just makes it easier to fix if you mess it up.

Great video, very helpful. Do you have a video that explains what to do with grips that take a lot of force to put on? Like putter grips, and JumboMax grips. I've done a few of my clubs with JumboMax, which I love, but it takes so much force to push them on that I feel like I'm missing something.

The stretch thing is why I do my own grips. I always make my installed grip look just like an uninstalled grip. another thing I didn’t see mentioned is some places won’t bottom out the grip and so there will be like a 1/16th of an inch left in the butt. That stuff drives me nuts.

Great video as usual. Another easy mistake: When installing grips that take the embedded Arccos sensor, be careful not to slide the grip on too far. Otherwise the sensor won’t seat properly in the end. Don’t ask me how I know this!😁

Struggled with the wrong grip tape and solvent combo. Leading to issues 2 n 3. Mineral spirits wasn’t working for me and usually required air. Now the Brampton solvent works wonders.

I haven't seen one video talk about to ensure the grip is lined up properly which is the most difficult part of re-gripping IMO. Would be nice to see a video on that.

@chrisdundas6670 Ай бұрын

I've been using a tee to help install grips for a long time. I push the tee into the hole in the grip butt. This helps in a couple of ways. First, it makes the application of solvent neater, since it won't leak out from both ends of the grip. Second, the tee compresses the air inside the new grip just enough to ease the insertion onto the shaft, and helps to avoid pushing the grip too hard. Try this and see if it helps.

Love the tips , have question did a grip and grip ended up shorter in length than other grips I have ,is there something I did wrong,your advice would be appreciated,thank you

@EFGMC 5 ай бұрын

You just did not stretch that one grip out the same amount as the rest. Could have been a result of less solvent being used or just happens as we aren't robots. Could also be the grip itself might have been stiffer and did not stretch as much as the others.

hi thanks for the response , filled the grip up to the top with solvent and poured more on the golf club, redid grip and made sure i stretch it out , thanks again @@EFGMC

Great video! I have a recurring issue with the butt ends of the grip getting loose and being twistable. I Ensure the grip is clean and that I am using fresh tape. Am I using too much solvent?

@EFGMC 10 ай бұрын

Are the grips new. Sometimes if you reuse grips the butt end can be stretched out and cause issues. Also try not completely covering the shaft but with tape and sealing the hole. Use just enough tape to fold over the lip but not enough to plug that opening.

Good day and thank you for the video Haven't regripped a club in 30years what's the best solvent to use in your opinion? And no i don't have an air compressor. I do but it's a, very tiny one for airbrushing rc models so might not be powerful enough(how powerful must they be?)

@EFGMC 29 күн бұрын

55-60 psi is how much pressure you ideally need for air install. Grip solvent is solvent in my book. Any of them work.

Regarding issue #3, Use an unfinished grip and compare the length. Something else regarding keeping everything aligned before putting the grip on, fix your club in your vice so the grooves are in the position you want to see when you look down on the club in a standard position.

I have some old TM Burner woods with minimum .600 and .620 butt sizes. I could barely get the opening of the new grip over the butt and wasn't able to finish the install. Do I need specific grips with larger openings to deal with this issue or is it operator error?

@EFGMC 9 ай бұрын

If it's the Bubble shaft, then you need a specific grip that has a much larger inside diameter.

@northernlite3368 9 ай бұрын

2:55 - The blade is indeed the best one. What I do is instead of holding the knive vertically, I set it horizontally on top of the shaft, and try to keep the tip of the blade about in line with the center of the shaft, This way I make sure I do not scratch the fiber, and the cutting is not any harder than with a vertical position, but way safer for teh material underneath.

@louispounds7486 10 ай бұрын

Can you share tips on how to use air for grips like the super stroke oversize on irons? There seems to be a tube inside versus other types of grips with no tube inside. Or can you not use air for every grip?

@EFGMC 10 ай бұрын

Air only works for some grips. Super stroke, Winn, some cord grips don't do as well with air install.

@user-xq3cr7ld9g 10 ай бұрын

You also can blow the grip apart if you use too much air. When using air to try and save a grip I use a needle, syringe, with grip solvent in a couple of places then slide a piece of PVC tubing that is just slightly bigger than the grip you're trying remove then apply a small burst of air. You should be able to twist and slide the old grip off and reinstall with new grip tape. The PVC tube may keep you from blowing a hole in the old grip.@@EFGMC

I always have problems with aligning putter grips. Do you have a tip to install putter grips perfectly aligned to putter face?

@EFGMC 10 ай бұрын

Does your putter have a sight line? If so that is the easiest thing to line up off of. If not, you will want a vice for this. Use a level or level app to make sure the face is perpendicular to the ground, then use the same level across the top of the installed grip to make sure it is level to the ground.

@C-mac_in_the_6ix 10 ай бұрын

Interesting. I find putter grips to be the easiest. It's the regular club grips that sometimes gives me problems. Not so much the irons as it is the driver and woods. Certain drivers can look square in the vice, but sit different when you put the club head down on the ground in address position.

Heat it! Usually helps to loosen the adhesive making it much easier to pull the tape.

@user-xq3cr7ld9g 10 ай бұрын

Heat gun will soften tape making it easier to remove. Just don't get it too hot or you can warp or melt the shaft if it's graphite. Steel, no problem. I don't short cut the process by putting new tape over old. It will make the new grip thicker than you might want. Best to remove old grip and old tape before installing a new grip

@BATDOYLE 2 ай бұрын

By solvent, do you mean white spirits? One and the same thing?

Both will work. Solvent is spirits based.

@hotdogint 10 ай бұрын

Personally on that last tip I tend to take a loose grip and compare the length to the grip being installed. If I only push from the back it will bunch up, depending on the amount of solvent used and type of grip of course.

Use an air compressor with a grip attachment - much easier to remove and put on grips. I don't even use solvent anymore. Significantly quicker as I can remove a grip in about 5 seconds and put one on in about the same time. Also, without a ton of solvent, grips are much less likely to twist. If you don't have it straight, just hit with some more air and align correctly. Total game changer. Also don't have to wait hours for solvent to dry before you can swing the club.

Yeah but not everyone has the space for a compressor

One other mistake I have made is … When pulling the grip on TOO FAR, the butt end of the shaft cuts through the butt end of the grip 😩 Or tap the butt end of the grip on the floor too hard cutting into the butt end of the grip. I learned my lesson the hard way … ruins the grip and have to replace it immediately with another new one 🙄
