- How To Regrip A Golf Club With Golf Pride
Hi. My name is Bruce with Golf Pride Grips and I'm going to demonstrate on how to re-grip a golf club today.
I've been with golf pride for 10 years and I've re-gripped countless clubs through the years. Any body can re-grip their golf clubs, you just need to have some tools and having those tools obviously will help you re-grip a lot faster. And when it gets down to it, I mean the other stuff is nice to have but there's only 3 things you really need. The first one being the solvent. You need the solvent to activate the tape to slip the grip on. The next thing you need obviously, is a hook blade or blade to cut that grip off. And the other thing is the two-sided tape you need to secure the grip onto the shaft. So you know that being said, if you have those 3 elements you could re-grip a golf club.
Ok so the first thing I'm going to do is remove this golf grip. You know obviously it's going to be slick and worn out, and that's the reason you're going to need to take it off. So the way that I remove a golf grip is simple. I get the hook blade and I always cut away from myself with the blade, so if I slip I'm never going to hit anybody or myself, right? And you want to make sure that it's you know the people around you are clear so they cant get hit if you suddenly slip. So what I do is simply put the hook blade underneath the mouth of the grip, you know make sure that it's seated under there and then you simply push away, right? Use a pressure just to push away. It'll start to cut the rubber and you rub, you know run it up the shaft.
Now it's a mistake a lot of people make they just simply put some two-sided tape over the existing tape that was underneath the grip. That's the wrong thing to do because you wound up getting a grip that's a lot bigger than what you anticipated. The next technique is to use a flat razor and you scrape off the tape instantly like you're peeling an apple. It takes a little bit longer but again it works.
The next step is simply to install the two-sided tape and slip on the new grip. So the first thing we do is lock the shaft into the vice and the important piece here is to make sure that that clubface is lined up square. And this critical if you're installing a ribbed golf grip. So the first thing we do is make sure that the tape is measured out the correct length, you don't want to have it too long or too short. So I always have a grip handy next to the tape to make sure it's measured correctly. And I always measure the exact length of the grip and you need to have a little bit of overhang when you put the tape on but this will ensure that there is no tape hanging out the end of grip when you're finished. So you leave about a half of inch of overhang over the shaft that you can see right there. Install the two-sided tape. Make sure it's smoothed out, that there's no wrinkles or bubbles. You wind up that tape at the end and you just shove it in the end of the shaft. So now the two-sided tape is installed correctly and you can put your grip up next to it to see that once the grip is installed, there will be no overhang.
So the next step is to imply the solvent over the two-sided tape. And this is one of those things where you want to make sure you use enough solvent. You can never use enough solvent because if you get it stuck half way on, that's when the problems arise and you have to cut the grip off. So you just make sure that the two-sided tape is coated. And I'm using a lot of solvent here you never use enough and then you put the solvent on the inside of the grip. Make sure that your hole covers, that your finger covers up the hole at the end of the cap. Simply swish around the solvent in there make sure it coats the inside of the grip. Take your finger off of the hole and pour more solvent over the two-sided tape. Now I have an apron on to be sure it doesn't squirt on my clothes and I advise you to do the same, but always make sure that you have a towel as well. And I always use a towel to cover the end cap of the grip so when I install it, nothing squirts out.
When you put this on, you want to put it over the mouth of the grip and then you want to be quick installing it. Use some pressure there, install the grip the whole way. Make sure that it's seated correctly there and again I had the towel so no solvent came flying out the end.
And we always tell people they should re-grip either once a year or every 40 rounds, whatever comes first. To be properly fit and to see all of our product line feel free to visit us at golfpride.com.

I appreciate the "It''s Always Sunny In Philadelphia"-esque music in the background. A+
Lol all I could think of was Charlie making some crazy repair video whilst watching this 😂😂
I feel bad for the people looking for a golf regrip tutorial that didn't find this video. Light years ahead of all the other awful videos I'm seeing. Thanks Bruce!
Yes, good info and straight to the point.
But that music was really really wearing me out the whole time. So many folks over do the "doing up" of videos, excess noise doesn't help folks like me.
Why do you feel sorry for people you don't even know.
@@frankmcnally01 It's called "empathy" and is a natural human emotion.
Super video. No BS like some other videos. An expert sharing knowledge and experience. Thank you Bruce Almighty!
Great video Sir. I’ll be using your video when I re grip my clubs this week. Thank you!
Thank you for this! A great “How to Video”! I just bought a set of older Taylor made Irons, which of course need new grips as these look to be the original grips 10+ years old.
Thanks for the info fella, i had a laugh thou at the end, I've had the same grips for 20 years 🙄 I've just changed them after watching your video the funny thing was when u said change them every 40 rounds, I would need to change them every other month I play that much 😂😂😂
Great video! You made what I was expecting to be a tedious and difficult job, straightforward and easy. Thanks a ton!
Only cautions I can add, being elderly. is DO NOT use nitrile gloves. I thought to protect my dainty fingers, and could NOT grip the grip - it went on half way then I could go no farther - had to cut it and throw it away. For my next attempt I used a "gripper glove" on my forward hand, and had to be careful not to stretch it; otherwise, it worked - You need a bare hand, or nitrile glove 'cuz you have to block the hole with your RIGHT, then you are only pushing with it.
Every instructional video should be done by this guy with that music playing in the background
What a bunch of idiotic comments about him using too much solvent. Can't you pinheads see hes using a catch pan that drains back into a solvent container! Duh!
Thanks Bruce. I'm buying some grips now.
Great video... Very well done
Great video 👍 quite a simple and short explanation. Not sure about regripping every year though….
Just watched this. I hope that funky music doesn't become a song worm when I'm tryna get to sleep tonight. LOL.
Thanks very interesting to see how it’s done, my irons I bought in 2006 not been griped yet it’s like playing with butter on them lol
they may be 'gelling' - it can happen over time due to atmospheric flux and contaminants, and also from possibly sunlight, soil, and being handled. the solvents may alter as well. one could imagine the materials breaking down quite easily under these circumstances. my dad gave me help w/ my first grip install and i was going to keep it as is forever... but it has been 20+ years (he passed in '04) - and the grip is literally melting. a new grip for 2020!
Holy cow, re-grip every 40 rounds or once a year? I’ve never done that, that surprised me. Thanks for the video
Nice job!
Does the regripping solvent make the job that much easier then using mineral spirits? The cost difference between the two of them is substantial.
Wow what a lot of specialist equipment needed. Think I’ll give my clubs to the Pro shop for re-gripping!
i do mine on the tailgate of my truck with only a utility knife. it may take 5 minutes longer but no one would ever know that they were not done by a pro.
Specialist equipment ? This seems like it would be stuff that most people have on hand, if not then a basic hardware store should be your best bet.
They sell a regrip kit on Amazon for $15, has everything you need
........a vise to hold the club, hook blade, 15 pieces of pre cut double sided tape, and solvent.
Thank you for your videos I find them very informative. I disagree with the people that say you go into too much detail. My question is most of the tape I'm seeing you have to peel the top layer off before you put the Grip on. But you don't seem to be peeling a top layer off, are you using a different kind of tape? Please advise.
Proper tutorial, fitted new grip in 5min - word of advice: DO NOT try water instead of solvent (as suggested in some other videos), it's nightmare. With white spirit it slips on shaft easily. Thanks!
What about soapy water?
What type of solvent we should use,,, ?
@@isaacsarsona4418no, tried soapy water and even after letting it dry for 24 hours, the grip tape would not prevent the grip from rotating
A heat gun helps in getting off the old tape!
Or hair dryer
Hello did u remove the second layer of paper b4 putting solvent on ???
Thanks Bruce
"We tell everyone they should regrip once a year-"
*stares at his 2011 TM tour preferred MB/CB set with possibly original grips*
Huh.
Me staring at my 25 year old brosnan irons with original grips 🤣
Grteat video but shouldn't he remove the cover on the two sided tape before putting on solvent and grip
What kind of tape is being used? All the double sided tape ive found goes on clear!
I just did my first club, a 7 iron. Easy Peasy, but I almost forgot to take the wax off both sides of the tape. Seems obvious but I was so focused on taking the first side off and getting the tape lined up on the shaft it kind of slipped my mind. Remembered though, and once I got solvent all over the tape and inside the grip, that baby slid right on!!! Thanks for the video.
He doesn't take the wax backing off the second side in the video. Sticks one side to the shaft then simply wets the tape and fits the grip.
Yep, must take 2nd side off as well. Good catch.
Simple question from a hobby club builder, with the tape dispenser and seeing you wrap the tape on the shaft how come the top side tape backing is never removed? It's like it was already removed when you installed it and I didn't think you could purchase tape like that.
Just got my new golf pride grip for my driver woooooooooo
what happens if your tape doesn't reach the open end of the grip but left the 1/4" for the end?
ok here's a question you're not expecting. what is the name/title of the music you are using starting at 0:06???? Thanks in advance.
Do you line up the lines with the leading edge?
Yes, the logo in this case, with the leading edge of the clubhead, so it's all lined up at address.
Great video, as are they all. The grip just seems to slide on with ease though. I've tried and can't get the grip over the club. Of course thestart end of the grip is tighter than the end of the club. Clubs are Taylor made bubble shafts. Fortunately I only have my 4I out of action as only removed that grip before trying to re-fit my new grip. Why am I not able to insert the grip over the club? I loobed it as shown, and it didn't just slip on, so I tried stretching it with my fingers, I even inserted a spoon handle to try and "stretch" the grip. Ultimately the grip ripped.
I’ve got this exact issue, Taylormade bubble shaft, can’t it it over the top of the club, did you find a way to do this?
Use a grinder to make the shaft smaller
I’m assuming you Removed the backing
from the second side of the double sided tape or is the double-sided sticky tape solvent activated?
Good question but Bruce doesn't use normal double-sided tape, it's special 'golf grip tape' you can buy. It's correctly called 'solvent-activated' golf grip tape. The inner side, that goes on the shaft is sticky, the outside is dry and when you apply the spirit solvent it activates the glue and bonds once the grip is fitted and the solvent evaporates off.
Bruce uses wide tape and one strip does the whole diameter, there is also narrow tape which is wound on the shaft in a spiral.
Normal double-sided tape works as well but yes, remove the backing paper first!
hi. question: how many layers of tape i need to bring 0.570 shuft butt end to 0.600? i realised my CPX midsize grips I just put on feel like regulars cause darn shaft is 0.570! (learned that after) 🧐. Thanks for helping.
i know im late to the game and this may be a stupid question but do you have to remove the wax backing on the double sided tape?
Fooled me with the removal of one of the backing layers. I fitted my club leaving one of the backing layers inside the grip assuming that the solvent would somehow remove it and make the adhesive active. Looking back that probably was naïve but when you're watching an expert and he appears to leave it on then I just accepted that fact. Having said all that the grip seems to have seated okay and only time will tell if it begins to loosen when used. I guess it's a lesson learned not to disconnect your brain when watching an expert !!!
I would never have admitted that in public.
:(
Does the tape have to be an exact size match for the shaft? if so, how do you ensure it's the right size? And how do you add an extra layer? Many thanks
HKR Golf no it doesn't . Has to be a little bit longer than the grip so you can fill the shaft whole. Prevents from any solvent going in. Make sure it gets to the white marks at the end of the grip but not passing it. If you pass it You can have a long tape. Just add another piece of tape on top. - Titleist: Custom Worker
I have regripped my own clubs for 40 years. The best advice is to do this after your round of golf or at Christmas when it's snowing at 30* outside. Don't regrip and then go play or go to the range, BAD MOVE. The regrip needs to set up for about 8 hours.
Who the hell plays golf when it's 30 degrees outside? Damn Yankees I guess lol
@@crimsontide1980 he didn't write what he meant right. I think he meant do this after you've played golf, or during Christmas when its too cold to play golf because then you have the patience to wait for it to dry. When you do this and it's a sunny day you'll have the urge to try them out without waiting the right amount of time.
@@josephc9200 Ah, well that actually makes way more sense lol
How long before i can use the clubs after regripping? some say 1-2 hours others say 24 hours???
+M. Colby the length of wait is dependent on the type of solvent used/ method of regripping. If you're using actual grip solvent, technically you could probably use them safely within about 2 hours as it "evaporates" rather quickly. If you're using mineral spirits or the like, 24 hours is best because it evaporates much more slowly. If you like to use an air compressor to install your grips they will be ready to use right away. you can install ANY grip using air without double sided tape, but you must remember to put at least .015 of tape down beforehand to fill the "tape gap" allowance by manufacturers (except PURE grips). Dipping the tip in water quickly will help lube it for installation.
When removing the old tape, what is the easiest and most effective way to remove any residual glue, or do you bother?
What kind of solvent is it?
So do you remove the paper from the 2 sided tape? It seems like you did not?
I have same question. It may depend on the type of tape. I bought a roll of grip tape years ago. No idea brand. But it doesn't "look" like it would work without removing the backing. On other hand, the grips I removed (that I had installed years ago) looked like they still had the backing! Go figure.
solvent removes glue? It won't stick?
Qual o diâmetro do tubo do taco?
Are there differences in grip tape? Because I just used a roll of tape that was sticky on one side. I put it on the shaft and then peeled back the top paper layer afterwards.
So my question is, do they make grip tape that’s automatically double stick (without a paper layer that needs to be peeled back)?
I’m trying to figure out which one you have on that dispenser?
He doesn’t show it, but you do need to take the paper layer off
Someone asked if the solvent was mineral spirits but there was no reply. What type of solvent works best?
No reply I think
Odorless mineral spirits
@@Wademorgan1024 STINKY WINKY!
I've been golfing for over 5 years now and i don't think I'm even close to 40 rounds yet, lol
do have to wait a bit before you use them?
Can we not use the tape but just simply slide the Golf-Pride grip onto the bare shaft?
+Hole Hau No
What type of solvent we have to use.. ?
Too awesome!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've had my currect grips on for about two years... when clean, they still feel like new!
I'd imagine replacing every year would likely be overkill for the average golfer. Someone who plays multiple rounds a week, that may be necessary. Someone like me who plays 20 rounds a year probably could go 3 years in between regripping
@@crimsontide1980 Yeah...
Don't need a vise to re-grip, helps with alignment but not needed. Key thing is to make sure that you immediately install grip after you coat tape with solvent to ensure maximum ease.
Some tape is solvent-activated, so it's only tacky on one side to install on shaft and then once it meets the solvent, the adhesive activates. Can also use two-sided tape but it's a bit more work to install because you have the added tackiness to deal with along with removing the backing. Either way, still not hard to do as long as you have a grip, adhesive, tape, and solvent.
ok I thought he forgot to remove the backing to the two-sided tape.
@@vicO1323 I was wondering the same thing. Thought in the instructions he mentioned two sided tape, and with the ease he slid the grip on I was wondering how that would be possible if that was in fact two sided tape
Where can I get one of those awesome re-gripping stations with drip pan, vice, etc?! Sweet setup!
At the store
At the getting place
I wish I could change my grips every 40 rounds???
@Antony Gwynne - Wish granted, now you can!
How's it gone since you commented 6 years ago? Have you started changing grips every 40 rounds?
Very informative, couple of good closeups. Thanks! Lower the volume on the dorky music, please.
Are there different size grips because the golf pride grips I have seems way too small for my driver shaft.
Grips come in standard, midsize and jumbo sizes. It should say on the buttcap of your current grips what size they are, if it hasn't been worn off due to age. The current theory on correct grip size is for a RH golfer, when you grip the club with your left hand the middle finger of that hand should just be touching the palm. If it feels like it is digging in then the grip is too small. If there is a gap between that middle finger tip and your palm then the grip is too big. Best advice though is to consult with a golf club repair guy where you buy your new grips from. One other note.......if the grip is too big then you will have a tendency to leave the club face open. Too small a grip can cause shots to be pulled with a closed face because it makes the wrist overactive in the swing.
@@timnew7662 awesome advice, I never really thought about the thickness of the grip but that makes perfect sense. I have pretty normal size hands so I think I'll stick with normal grips on my driver, irons, and wedges.
... Does the solvent take away the stickiness of the other side for a short while? Nice video btw...
Yes it does but only momentarily, hence the reason to put the grip on fairly quick after applying solvent
How long do you need to wait until you can use the club after install?
A couple of days
He says 2 hours in the video
What is the solvent?
Why do some use levels to a 90' angle to the club face and some don't ? which is the proper way without doing shortcuts?
+Sammy C interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover golf coaching try Nadazma Amazing Golf Helper (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
THERE IS ONE THING I WAS HOPING YOU CAN HELP ME WITH. MY WIFE HAS A 51 DEGREE D CLUB BY LYNX. THE SHAFT FLARES OUT AT THE BUTT END. I CAN'T SEE HOW TO PUT A GRIP ON IT?!
can i use regular 2 inch masking tape instead of the 2 sided?
I read a comment on another video, and he uses masking tape, he said never had an issue with movement or losing a grip.
What kind of solvent?
The price of grips is ridiculous now. I used to grip 12 clubs 48.00.
Today, to regrip 12 clubs it would cost 144.00. !! That's crazy. Plus, putter grips are outrageously expensive !! ⛳
I would like a definitive answer as to whether the grip tape outer layer should or should not be removed before sliding the grip on. If there are different types of tape, that would also be something we should know.
After you wrap it, peel off the 2nd side of the tape, then hit it with the solvent.
@@seanmccollam3400 he doesn't do that in the video
It’s probably been close to 400 rounds on my grips, might need some new ones soon idk tho
What sorta tape do I get. Just normal paper masking tape ?
Is that the aforementioned mineral spirits?
Im confused - has the two sided tape stillvgot the backing on? Or does the solvent eat the backing? C
5 years later, but the tape dispenser he's using peels off from both sides when you pull and dispense the tape.
I wondered the same thing
Yer you peel the other side off after u put it on and you don’t need a quarter of the solvent he used
my grips are shifting after a night of sitting, why does this happen?
Is double sided tape really double sided? It looks like you used regular masking tape.
where would you purchase the double sided tape from?
joerocha2nd the depot home
Golfsmith
or any golf store that does regripping will sell you the supplies to do it yourself.
Just started working at dicks sporting goods and i thought i should save this video so i can become a pro at gripping clubs since i’ll be doing a lot of that for customers. It’s a pretty neat process!
Yeah-Dick’s Sporting Goods is great. They regripped a club for me for free, just had to buy the grip.
@@scottsmith2235 Unfortunately they aren’t giving me any hours currently so i’m not working right now. Working on applying at a grocery store cuz i need money.
@@willweisenfeld1369 Oh wow-I guess everything is slow because of winter. Grocery is hopping though.
@@scottsmith2235 Yeah man,my manager said to not expect anything until March!
@@scottsmith2235 So much for cross training i guess😒
Ive golfed for 20+ years - no one I know regrips a club every year or 40 rounds. More like 100-150 rounds. I only had one club ever that only lasted only maybe 40-50 rounds and it was a taylor made driver no less.
What grip is he using
Golf pride grips
golf pride patriot grips...
Only cautions I can add, being elderly. is DO NOT use nitrile gloves. I thought to protect my dainty fingers, and could NOT grip the grip - it went on half way then I could go no farther - had to cut it and throw it away.

I would of said Carrott
The backing from the outer side of the tape needs to be removed.
I don't know if anyone will read this comment, but.... Tonight I installed new Lamkin Midsize grips on my irons and woods... In the video Bruce make it look so easy and hassle-free.. he simply applies the solvent and slides the grip on... well, that wasn't the sensation I got tonight.... I really had to fit, in order to get the grip to seat all the way... I had plenty of solvent on, both grip and club.. it just seemed very stubborn..
I got all grips to seat and allign, but I was surprised on how much pressure I had to put on it..
Did I do anything wrong?
Cheers.
GuitarNTabs I also just re-gripped all of my clubs with Lamkin grips. I also had a pretty tough time sliding them on. May just be the Lamkin grips
@@parkermcbroom - Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
Maybe I got the measurements wrong.. but yeah, they were HARD to slide on...
Haha - atleast it worked out in the end 😂
What kind of Lamkin? They differ on what your putting on. Some need a little extra "lovin" to get on.
@@brendanpaull204 - I bought some Lamkin Crossline Midsize grips... I might have gotten the measurements wrong, but yeah.. they needed some extra "lovin" for sure 😂
Al Bundy!!!
Bruce, you left out the hard part of peeling off the other side of the double sided tape
It doesn't look like it had any paper on the other side... Likely what they get in bulk I'd imagine.
@@hurfdurfy8167 the machine keeps the backing paper. d think he uses way too much solvent.
a bit of work involved to do all clubs..
He didn't clean the shaft before putting the new tape on. and use a heat gun to remove the old tape, and you can just peel it off
Spray bottle does a better job! Faster too.
Was thinking of using a spray bottle but didn't know whether it'd get enough coverage quickly.
So 9 years ago they didn't know about using air to install and remove a golf grip?
Every Year or 40 rounds :-0 I tend to wait 3 years.....
is it me or did he not pull off the other side of the tape?
is it just me or did that grip look perfectly fine before he took it off?
He's giving a demonstration bro.
@@isaacsarsona4418 so find an old club? lol no sense in wasting a new grip...
@@davidstevens3120 pretty obvious he didn't have one. Do you say anything when they use brand new material at Home Depot or Lowes when a demo is being given? "Hey that's brand new tile, what are you doing?".
@@isaacsarsona4418 thats a terriblle comparison, my point is, being a brand that is known for gripping clubs, perhaps golf pride might have a club lying around that needs re-gripping lmao. that one clearly didn't. thats all im gonna say idk why im even typing anymore
@@davidstevens3120 lmfao! I don't even know why I'm typing anymore. Cheers bro!
i didnt see him peel the 2 sided tape??
So you appeared to not peel the back off the double sided tape and poured the solvent on, is this correct?
After watching a few videos on this subject it appears that he has a pro set up with a tape dispenser that peels the backing off as he unrolls it and the backing rolls onto another roller. All other videos show pulling the backing off by hand.
Dudes trying to burn down the clubhouse
This guy just used enough solvent to regrip an entire set of irons on one club! It's a cinch he isn't paying for the materials to do his job! No wonder clubs cost so much!
Fuck it I'll pay them the 3 bucks to do it
Wow, never use a straight edge razor to strip off the old tape. Especially when you have graphite shafts. You can actually cut into the fibers in the shaft and ruin it. Use a heat gun very gently on steel shafts only to reheat the tape and then just pull the old tape off. Use a citrus based cleaner or goof off to get old tape off of graphite shafts. And who re-grips every year?
goof off... a great idea. Going to regrip today.. glad I found your comment.
A blade won't damage a steel shaft
It's like cow bell... gotta have more cow bell
The only guy who would suggest you regrip your clubs that often is the guy who makes money regripping clubs
I prefer to build with Woodprix plans.
Why don’t you take off the other side of the double sided tape
he just has a big roll of two-sided tape.. theres no backing to peel off
