So I am a novice but do regrip my own clubs. I usually am very generous with the solvent so my question is- after re-gripping a steel shafted iron how long should I wait to play? I am up in the Northeast and looking at around 90 degrees and humid this week. I am looking to play tomorrow afternoon and wanted to do a few clubs today. Thanks.

I was able to get out to the Sony Open today to take a few pics. I guess due to Covid precautions they kept the spectators pretty far from the players. Also due to camera...

only if you use too much solvent, and or do not seat the grip properly so the excess gets trapped in the butt end and does not squirt out the grip hole. I always check to make sure the hole is not plugged before i put on the grips, and always slam the grip end into the ground on a towel to push any extra out.

sounds like who ever put those on for you used buildup tape and didn't put a top layer of double sided, take them back to the shop and tell them to do it right... if you did it, don't do it again. I always use only 2 sided even if i am building them up, i just use more of it.

Air and you can play immediately. If you're in a rush and air isn't an option, hairspray works fine and dries in minutes.
