using only the maltby v groove removal tool-yes it can be done with a lot of solvent-patience and strength. I would not want to do this on a regular basis tho.

mvhoffman

use a needle and insert needle by the threads directly to the shaft. When you hit the shaft pull back slightly and inject solvent in the space between grip and tape. Works like a charm, every time with every type of grip.

I watched a u tube where some one used only the maltby tool and wanted to try it my self.yea needle would greatly aid this process

Jagpilotohio

If you don’t do enough work to justify a solvent grip gun with a needle for $60+ dollars you can use regular large gauge hypodermic needles and large syringes.

I've removed quite a few just by squirting some solvent in the end cap hole, and then blowing them off with compressed air. In fact, I don't think I have ever failed to get one off successfully using this method, even those put on using conventional tape and solvent.

Pro tip: Install all your grips using painters tape and compressed air. Then come off really easy and the hold during play feels just as good as using solvent.

If it's a Winn, or Superstroke etc style grip with a hard tip and butt cap section (multiple materials) the slim jim style tool is difficult to use. Best bet is with air compressor or inject solvent into the grip in different spots and work it loose that way.

It's just tape I am sure, issue is just with that hard tip and butt section and how it connects to the softer middle. Good luck.

Another thought I had - fill something the size of a tennis ball tin with solvent and then sit the grip in the solvent bath to ensure the tape gets thoroughly soaked. Anyone tried this? Any downsides I haven't thought of?

ChetlovesMer

I've actually removed a putter grip a couple of times using a wire coat hanger; You just bend it half and then stick the bent end under the grip. However, if you've never done it before I highly recommend getting one of these.

ChetlovesMer

Update - success! I used the coat hanger method, and with a lot of solvent, a lot of patience a lot of grunt to get the coat hanger all the way under the grip it eventually came off pretty easily once the solvent found it's way to all the tape and broke the bond.
