Apply the tape lengthwise to the shaft so the is half-inch of excess tape extends from the butt of the shaft. Begin to smooth the tape over and around the shaft, but do not wrap in all the way around the shaft.

Solvent is needed to both lubricate as well as activate (the stickiness of) the tape so that when dry, the tape will adhere to the inside of the grip.

Yes, you can! We sell tape solvent (made by Brampton Technologies) in all our grip kits. But you should know that this solvent is actually NOT the most effective liquid for re-gripping. We use it and sell it here because it is the only one safe enough to meet all California environmental regulations (where our company is based). Mineral spirits is actually a better option for making the tape very slippery and easy for the grip to slide on. You can purchase mineral spirits at any hardware or home improvement store.

Hireko distributes the Intertape 591 Premium Double-Sided Golf Grip Tape. Sadly we call this premium today because this was the grip tape that most veteran clubmakers recall as standard grip tape.

It comes in the 2” wide x 36 yard roll and is much thicker than most solvent activated golf grip tapes sold today making it easier to install and remove when re-gripping saving you time and money in the long run.

If a grip is removed and the tape is still in good condition, can I just spray some more solvent on it and use it again? I have a grip that I installed a week or two ago and I want to swap it out. The most annoying part of gripping for me is removing the tape, so if I could avoid it I would be grateful.

I blow on all my grips with just masking tape for buildup. I have 118mph ss and have never had on twist on me
BlakeBstone
As soon as you apply solvent all the "sticky" stuff is melted and that's what helps you slide the grip on. Have you ever taken a grip off and had the tape still be sticky, I haven't.

Well I just replaced two grips. One was with the new tape that I applied a couple of weeks ago, and one was replacing a Ping grip that has been on the club since I bought it new a few months ago, so I have no idea how old that tape is. Both went on and seem to be holding tight as usual. The ping one actually slid on super smoothly.
CarloGolfer
If you don't change the tape, it MIGHT twist. If you change the tape, it WON'T twist. If I were you, I'd take the extra 45 seconds and remove the old grip tape.

An update if anybody cares... I hit maybe 15 shots today with my Ping 5 wood and there was no twisting at all.

This is why I like to regrip my own clubs. Never know how many shortcuts people will take. Do it the right way, strip the tape, add some new tape and put it one the proper way every time. Doesn't take much longer, but my customers sure do appreciate the extra effort. And because of that, more business
