Step 2
Remove the old tape by scraping with the tape scraper and peeling. Securing the shaft in a vise, if available, may make the scraping and peeling easier.
Step 3
Remove any remaining residue once most of the grip tape has been removed. Either dip a rag in solvent, such as paint thinner or lighter fluid, and wipe the shaft or pour solvent directly onto the shaft and wipe the residue away.
Step 1
Clean and dry the shaft before beginning installation. If a vise is available, mount the shaft into the vise parallel to the floor, making sure to wrap the shaft in a soft cloth or set it in a rubber vise guard to avoid scratching.
Step 5
Use a clean cloth to wipe down the grip and club; then hold the club in typical playing position to make sure that alignment is correct. Twist the grip to get the desired alignment. Set the club in standing position and let dry for at least 12 hours.

I'm not sure why you think that putting grips on should be free. If these places are going to have someone spend the time to put your grip on, then they have to build that cost in somewhere. When you purchase the grip, you have just paid the mark-up on the grip, just like you pay the mark-up on any other retail product you buy.

Anyone who has experience with removing grips and old tape from 8 or more shafts in one sitting will tell you that $2-$3 per grip is reasonable.#N#I use a heat gun for old tape and most of the time it isn't too much trouble, and its more time consuming than anything. But sometimes its just a huge pain in the a$$.

I cut my old grips off with a utility knife, add a new piece of tape over the old tape, put some solvent into the grip, swish it around and then pour it on the tape, and slide the grip on. It's literally about as complicated as putting legos together. I've done probbaly a couple hundred grips over the years, and it's never an issue.

I guess I'll consider myself lucky that we have a local shop that will do the install at no charge if you're a rewards club member. Membership is free and you earn points to use on anything in store, so it only makes sense to sign up for this. On top of the free install if you're a member you get $1 off every grip....

Unless you just like to tinker as a lot of people do, I look at this as akin to changing your own oil. Sure you can do it yourself, but is it really worth it?

- Welcome to our news series, Club Building 101. As with everything we do at Plugged In Golf, our goal is to bring you the best information in a clear, easy to digest format. We’ve partnered with Club Champion– specifically Nick Sherburne, Club Champion’s Founder and Dean of Club Champion University – to cut through all the bad information and bring you the simple truth abo…
The Process
- Step 1: Removing the old grip. If you’re gripping a clean shaft, please skip to Step 3. To remove the old grip, insert your knife – preferably a hook blade – at the bottom of the grip and cut toward the grip cap. Always cut away from yourself! It is much safer to put the club in a vise before cutting the grip. If you’re removing a grip from a graphite shaft, use a light touch so you don’t damage th…
Alternate Methods
- Grips can be installed with an air compressor and grip attachment. Nick does not recommend this for most grips, citing PURE Gripsas the one exception. The advantage of using air is that you do not need double-sided tape or solvent, so the process is a bit neater. If you watch videos of installations with air, they look extremely easy, but Nick advises the process is more difficult tha…
Common Mistakes
- Nick highlighted four common mistakes. First – shockingly – is using gasoline as a solvent. This is obviously very dangerous. The second error is lining up grips poorly. This may not affect performance, but there’s no reason not to do the job well. Another common problem is not removing the old tape thoroughly before installing a new grip. This can make the new grip uneve…
Pro Tips
- If you’re installing a grip on a shaft without a club head, stick an awl or small screwdriver through the hole in the butt cap once the grip is on. This will punch a hole in the tape and prevent any issues when installing the head. Next, if you’re going to recycle your grip solvent, make sure to filter it. Nick recommends using a coffee filter to g...
