Re: how to change golf club's grip

I've just changed my first grip.

First, secure the club in a shaft grip, then put the grip in your vise.

I got a surgical syringe, and injected 5ml of grip solvent at 4 different points around the grip, and 60 seconds later pulled the old grip off.

A razor blade took off the old tape, then I cleaned the shaft with mineral spirits.

Took some 2" tape and ran it up one side and down the other. I removed the backing, put some grip solvent in the new grip, shook it all around, then poured it on the tape.

I aligned the grip the way I wanted it, pinched the mouth and slid 'er on.

Then I popped the club out of the vise to double check my alignment (I had to put it in the vise again and twist the grip a little).

It should be ready to roll in the next half hour!
