Use either 3/4″ or 2″ double-sided grip tape to regrip golf clubs, but the results will vary depending on what type you use. Wrap in a spiral formation from the top of the shaft to the point where the bottom of the grip will be on the shaft, remove the tape backing and cover the end of the shaft with extra tape.

Align the grip square with the leading edge of the club- face. Grip alignment must take place within 2-3 minutes after installation, before the tape sets up. The grip will be dry and ready to play in 2-3 hours. It's important to always remove all tape and residue from the shaft before installing new grips.
