I have an air compressor and will be ordering the adapter soon. Does the air method work as well with non-pure grips?

Wow I can't believe how easy it was to use the air compressor. Using air will make it easier to experience with different grip sizes. Really excited as I'm ordering some AP2's and Titleist never builds the grips to my liking.
