Re: Grip sizes

@ pinyo: Yep - use the website if you're going to do it yourself. Otherwise, use the website to tell the clubmaker how big you want your grips.

At $15/club for regripping, you must be getting some premium grip installed! I know local clubguys who do it for $10/club - CAD (Canadian dollars).

Looking back through an old post - I've heard of guys going with 6 layers of tape without a problem (air compressor).

@ James: GoNavy hit it pretty much on the head - the masking tape is just for building up the grip. In the grip-and-solvent method, you use a final layer of 2 sided tape.

Personally, I only use masking tape - and air to install my grips. They pop off and on real easy. I'm researching going to a final layer of 2 sided tape, as I've heard others report that grips are twisting.

@ GoNavy: Thanks! I couldn't have put it better myself.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
