Replacing a Club Golf Grip

104 13

    Remove the Old Grip

    • Take a utility knife and make four cuts down the length of the grip, each about eight inches long. Reach into one of the gaps you have made with your cuts and give the grip a good pull ito remove it from the shaft. Use a rag with warm water to clean off any of the debris that remains on the shaft of the club and use grip solvent to prepare the shaft for the new grip. Use a dry rag to apply the grip solvent. Once it is clean, take a wet rag to remove the solvent, then dry it with a clean rag.

    Grip Tape

    • After your club is completely dry, take double-sided grip tape and unroll it in a serpentine fashion down the shaft of the club. Start unrolling the tape about 1/2 inch down from the top of the club and continue for about 8 to 10 inches.

    The Grip

    • Most modern grips slide onto the club shaft. They are one-piece grips that fit snugly and securely when they are slid over the top of a club and sit solidly on top of the shaft. Occasionally a grip stop will be attached to the bottom to keep it in place.
      Once the grip is in place, knead it with your fingers to activate the glue in the tape. Once you have worked in the glue from top to bottom, let it cure for about four hours to make sure the grip is firmly in place. If you do this in the heat of summer, you may not need four hours for the glue to cure.
