What kind of grip do you use
Golf pride.
I have time to watch these types of tutorials while we’re on quarantine. I don’t own any golf clubs. Matter of fact I’ve never even played golf. 🥴
Nothing like being well informed on any subject
You're much better off.
Louie, keep living a peaceful life, boring but peaceful. Just think, if you never play golf you will never miss a 3 foot putt that was a must make. You are a Smart Man!, FR
@@firstreviewer8966 a three foot put?!?! Come on man that’s miniature golf ⛳️ type action. I can make that with my eyes closed!
hey, that's really cool. i've fought that solvent for many regrippings over the last 40 years. as retired construction guy i've found a new use for my air compressor!
Not that using solvent is a pain in the rear, it's just messy for the person that regrips clubs once a year or so. Either way, it's just another look at regripping clubs.
I was going to get the pro shop to do this but after realising I have all the tools required in my garage, I'm gna give this a go! Cheers mate
The background music loop really brings the room together
Thank You for your video. I am going to regrip my clubs and use this method. No, things didn't all go perfectly when you did it, but you DID it! We all owe you a debt of gratitude for the effort.
Thanks. Hope it helps you out!
That's a new definition of "The easy way."
You can use masking tape and paint thinner. Wrap the shaft with tape, wipe some thinner on it and shove your grip on and adjust. The thinner emulsifies the top side of the tape and it becomes two sided.
My Neighbor a man who's had lot of experience told me today, wrap with masking tape and use lighter fluid, same as paint thinner I'd think, so that's what I'm going to do with this new Winn Mid-size pistol grip for my Dunlop putter.
This is what a golf pro would do I've seen this since the 70s.
It will help if you use a double sided tape and a hand sterilisation jelly . Easier to put the grip on and it dries INA few seconds. Many times don't even need air.
Hand sanitizer gel works for the activation as good as the "solvent"? shocked you didn't get a lot of haters for that 2020 sanitizer gold. LOL
The best how to do I have seen, no more paying someone else!
I made another video recently doing it with grip solvent too.
I use the air method and have for years. Its easy and you can actually adjust or remove the grip and use it on another club without destroying it. This is THE WAY!
It’s nice for sure.
My son and I used a bike pump when I got it stuck regripping. Air did the trick!!
Nice
comedy gold 👍 got there in the end !! new compressor v 5ps worth of petrol, white spirit but your correct no mess or sticky hands 👍👍
I changed my driver grip using one of those can dusters. It actually worked. I just stuck the red nozzle that comes with it into the hole at the end of the grip and it slid right on.
Nice video!
My only question/ concern is with out using the double sided tape would you then risk the possibility of the grip twisting with impact?
Once you get the grip on, it won't move at all. I understand your question though. The solvent method would be better for a beginner because it is easier to adjust the grip once it is put on and before the solvent dries. The air method is great and less messy, and you can play with your clubs right away instead of waiting overnight for solvent to cure.
Just did a whole set with 6 wraps while watching this video
How'd they make outt Brent?
Faster. Much faster. I think that was his point.
Excellent info. Just regrip my first golf club, since watching your video. After 50 yrs playing golf, this was first time I understand how simple changing grips, without buying a new club. Will this improve my game, hope so. Late Father in Law, said you always have to look GOOD, in order to play GOOD Clubs looking GOOD.
Glad it helped you.
Jesus Christ. I look stunning. But Im still a hack LOL
Should definitely have the vice at least 2 feet higher.
:) 1 Car garage and I had to have it high enough so the drivers door didn't hit it when it was opened.
Yeah and clamp it closer to club head
Hang it from the ceiling.
That is what I would do.
And maybe clamp at the hosel.
Bahahahaha!! Was thinkin same thing , and should probably have end of shaft he’s gripping at least another 10-12”’s further from vice if needing more flex & wobble !
Eye level is best
You don't need tape for air method, just slide grips on bare shaft.
I've not done it yet but honestly, the solvent method looks a lot easier.
Man, that looks easy...
Lighter fluid and double sided tape. Ready to play by the time you drive to the course. The bond outlasts the grip.
whew your golf clubs must smell like a zippo
@@supahbob94 , Not the BBQ light fluid man... haha. Nope. Lighter fluid is highly volatile and evaporates quickly. As a matter of fact, after about a month of playing squirt an old tshirt with lighter fluid and rub the grips down. Takes the built up sweat and grime off and grips are as tacky as new.
Great to see changing a golf grip as pure entertainment. Nice work. Ride on.
This inspired me. Just put a new grip on with a bike pump and masking tape only lol
Glad it worked out for you!
I tried with the Compressor, but my tips was not the right size, but I was still motived to change my grips, thanks
Great video- I’m looking forward to replacing my golf club grips - thank you for the information-
Sure u can do this way. However not everyone has a compressor and using double sided sticky tape to me is much more efficient on the grip it's just extra security that the grip isn't going anywhere.
The grip won’t go anywhere either way.
@@DIYReid until moister gets in there..good video tho.
It is a good guide to re-gripping
Thank you!
Good video, and timely.
Thanks for the kind words
Thanks for the tip.
I just use Callaway grips on Callaway clubs.
No problem. Glad I could help.
this so sick imma used this too
Thanks for the video. As informative as it was amusing. I'll try it.
I think you should have end of shaft closer to vice, seems quite wobbly. So I’ve watched a few “re-grip” vids and how does grip adhere to plain ol’ masking tape? And how did u line the grip up for address sakes? You mentioned it but never said anything about it while ya were blowing on your shaft!! Hehehe
Nice video dude, I'm defiantly going to buy all the accessories I need and re-grip my irons!
Thanks! It's fairly easy to be honest. Air is easy to do and you can always reset the grip of you got it crooked. Plus if you want to change the grip you can pull it off with air without ruining it.
+Reid Alphabet Yeah much more of a convenient option! Did you discover the method yourself? Because it's quite a clever way to do it!
I like it because it's less mess and I can change grips without ruining them in case I didn't like it. If you want to add thickness you can always add more wraps.That way you can slowly ease up to the thickness you like without ruining multiple grips. A guy I played golf with one day told me about it. I was explaining to him I had just put a driver grip on the night before and didn't like it much and was a bit upset that it would be a $10 waste and he said to put them on with air, they are ready to go right after you put them on and you can remove them without ruining them.
have u ever tried to use bacon instead of the air compressor ?
I would be worried about the grip slipping when its 90 degress, the clubs have been sitting in your trunk and the grips get soft. It would be a confidence thing for me, my swing is already bad enough I don't need to be worried about my club grips slipping. Good funny video, I'm sure it works but I'll stick to the way it's been done for decades that is proven to work.
Russell Devane I also have a video of it done with grip solvent.
Russell Devane they don’t slip off. Been doing my clubs with masking tape only for 15 yrs
Sharpro are fantastic grips, they actually came up with the multicompound formula and sold it to golf pride.
+Thomas Waters I buy mine on eBay normally. Less than $50 for a set. I use them for everything I grip now. Thanks for watching the video!
Great effort mate, no need to buy potentially expensive kit!
I work at a golf store not bad for a diy at home man but i would recommend the double sided tape for durability on your grip
i liked it and he was so funny good video buddy.
Thank you for sharing. I'll definitely following your instructions when I regrip my clubs.
Easier to use solvent...and if water gets inside there gonna twist
Cut old grip off, apply new double sided tape if necessary, spray shaft/tape and inside of grip with WD-40, place grip over end of shaft, apply air, slide grip on. Done in 2 or 3 minutes and ready to use in less than an hour. I've replaced grips, drove to the course....5 miles, and they were ready to use.
Would the WD-40 make the grip slip off even with the sticky tape??
WD40 is supposed to Lubricant something and keep it lubricated.
WD-40? that would stay slippery, and the grip will move! Might as well use oil to slide them on! 🤣
You could use the compressed air to get the old grip off too. Also the box cutter could have been used to remove the old double sided tape. You got the job done but I could have done at least 3 or 4 in the time this video took.
You're right. I've taken a few grips off with an air compressor. Most the time it's easier to just cut it off unless you wanted to save it.
Thanks for great videos.
Thanks for watching.
I love this is about blowing on grips, but yet he didn't just simply blow off the old grip.
Old grip had double sided sticky tape.
DIY Reid and the easiest way to remove those is to blow them off.
It's all relative. Thanks for watching.
Inept.
good idea, unfortunately most ppl probably dont have a box cutter let alone an air compressor at their house. I have more tools than most, but I still never bought a compressor.
Thanks for adding the links in Description-so easy to find the products used.
EXCEPT THE GRIPS ! Where can I find these?
EBAY!!!
I think Sharpro went out of business
Good job. Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic! That is much easier. Thanks
Very good video with a few problems. The club should be supported closer to the butt end. Using heat is the correct way to remove old tape. You should always use double sided adhesive grip tape. I use the PUR grip gun. It slips over the butt end of the grip and has the correct nozzle size. I only need 2 sprays of grip solvent. The air pushes out the excess solvent and grips are playable in a half hour.
I found it a bit awkward to keep the grips from buckling sidewise while I was pushing them onto the shafts. Next time, I'll try slipping a short piece of PVC pipe over the butt end of the grip to limit how far it can buckle (say, about 2/3 the length of the grip).
Also, since the grips tend to telescope a bit during installation, I found it helpful to mark the shaft where you want the bottom of the grip to end up.
It can take a little getting used to
Enjoyed this
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. Informative and found it entertaining too. What is a good operating psi? 100?
I’d do 80-100. I believe I did 125.
What is the brand of grips you use?
Sharpro
Did you say you were going to leave a link for the new grip?
amzn.to/2WSYKnf
Can you tell me what size and brand of vise your using?
amzn.to/2PEemoa
You used the hook blade pretty much like a straight blade. The reason you would need a hook blade is more for graphite shafts to prevent scratching them. And.....put the hook blade at an angle where it won't scratch the shaft.
Otherwise good video for teaching a beginner, but you should have had a smaller tip. 😉
This guy is reality comedy, he didn't mean too but some of the shit he did like always looking a t the camra after he's done talking and forgetting scissors and walking off 🤣
JFC man!!! Do you run in the hallways with a scissors up your nose too!? The way you cut the grip sent shivers down my back! One slip and you were about to leave more than a little mineral spirit on the floor!
Hold the club head under your arm and cut the grip AWAY from yourself! THEN put the club in the vise!
Safety first and always.
Don’t be so dramatic Dick.
Hi, that was an interesting process, but don't you need to place glue on the shaft or inside the grip? did I miss you doing that?
No. There isn’t glue when using double sided tape other than the stickiness of the tape. The solvent is what allows you to slide it on over the tape without it sticking. Putting it on with air allows it to expand the grip to slide on. Technically the grip ID is smaller than the shaft OD so that keeps it on.
The whole point of the demo was that he used air, compressed air, which most people won't have but there you go. Didn't need that messy stuff called solvent
I dont have an air compressor. Will it work if I blow in the hole? :)
Well that was 8 months ago. How did you go? Are you going to have baby clubs? LOL
How often do you regrip? It seems that a driver's torque cause twist over time?
You made it look way harder than so simple double side tape and alcohol that dries in 3 minutes.
Also allows you to adjust the grip to align it for around 30 seconds.
Not to mention, the grip will shift at the butt end if you're a faster swing player or playing in humid conditions.
There is a reason every tour truck, every store, every club builder and every pro uses double sided tape.
Those grips are nice but they last half the time as a premium golf grip... qhen covering the hole it doesn't "help out" as much as stopping debris from going in the club
What pressure are you using with your compressor?
I have a small portable used for blowing up tyres, balls, inflatabe boats and blowing off. Is that enough?
I had mine set at a standard 120PSI, however, you could get away with as low as 80. If it's one of those without a tank reservoir it most likely won't work. You would need at least a small pancake air compressor like this - amzn.to/2QECBD4
😳 that was to easy. I’ll bet I could fuck that up. Lol. Thank you for the lesson I’ll give it a shot. 😬
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome.
Nice and Easy. ;)
By using regular masking tape, does the golf grip twist over time from swinging?
Also, can I save my old grips that were installed with solvent?
I have not ran into that issue yet. Also yes. You can. It’s a lot tougher.
Careful of this method. Faster swing speed players apply alot of torque to the handle of the club, causing the grip to shift.
Double-sided tape, a little bit of solvent and a hook blade is all you need. 60 seconds a grip. Too keep it clean, have a towel and a catch pan for the solvent. You also won't need an expensive air compressor.
Good luck!
I like the solvent method because it is much easier to adjust the alignment of the grip especially while looking down the club in playing position
I used your technique and one of the new grips split at the butt end. I guess you can use too much air.
Cmon..... who hired this guy for this comedy.
Thanks nice job.
Get rid of that long air tip and get a short rubber tip , much easier. Put new grips on right over the shaft . You actually get a better bond against the steel.
Thank you, I agree. I only had the long tip that was small enough for the grip hole.
How wide of tape should I buy.
2”
super helpful:)
Thank you for watching.
I don't use tape or solvent; just air and nuts.
interesting!, like it! Thanks!
the “easy way“ but with the compressor? how many of us have a fucking compressor in our apartments? 😂 omg
Since the masking tape isn't adhering to the grip, why even bother with the tape (except at the top of the shaft where you don't want anything going in the little hole on the grip)? Masking tape is pretty slippery on the non-adhesive side; probably no more grippy than the shaft. Or is it just to increase the shaft diameter (only about 10 mil)?
BE VERY CAUTIOUS. I blew up my grip trying this method!
Lucky it was just your grip! I blew up my whole house, but later recalled I'd accidently used dynamite instead of a new grip and a blowtorch instead of an air blow gun.
@@MrWonkyeye PMSL
Is it just standard double sided sticky tape that you used?
No. Single sided.
excellent, thanks, I didn't want to use solvent!
+J-S B you're welcome.
I’ll be honest, the guy in the video with SOLVENT had less trouble installing the new grip than the guy in this video.
Dude that was painful, lol!
yup
Double sided tape very hard to get where I am. I guess I will have to use a version of doubled-over single sided tape.
Splag Yetsi you can just use regular masking tape.. it doesn't need to be double-sided tape if you use the air compressor.. at least according to this video..
I might personally throw a strip of glue stick or quick shot of spray adhesive to lock that grip down once it's completely dry, but I honestly can't imagine those grips sliding around much if installed with air onto plain masking tape
I can't find your link to the grips.
You can find them here - www.golf-components.com/shducotegr.html
I don't get how the grip with stay on since the adhesive part of the tape is on the metal shaft
+scooter12368 Technically the grip is smaller than the shaft. You ever notice when you slide a grip on it expands?
The solvent activates the other adhesive side of the tape.
The solvent allows the tape to not be sticky so you can slide the grip overs the tape.
Nice thank you
Thanks for watching.
Why did you not use the old tape?
Thanks, the comments that your video inspired were just too too funny. I just bought new grips and the install kit with solvent and if I do get my hands messy I will proceed to my sink and wash them. OR I could go out and buy an air compressor? Hmmm.. decisions, decisions.
I didn't say the only way was to use air.
Prefer to use the solvent. Don't own compressor
I hear you. I also made a video using grip solvent.
It would take less time. He spent 30 seconds getting that grip on.......ugh!
A bike pump would probably work just as well...
The best part of blowing grips on is not having to remove the old tape!
This is very true. No need to get out that hair dryer.
assuming its the right amount of tape for the new grip?
Neil Cameron it’s personal preference. You could use one layer or 5
@@wordogne I think he meant length not girth.
All grips are same length unless you get a long putter grip
I just did my wedge grip, if I can do it and this guy can do it anyone can do it. LOL
Newb question: Is there a proper way to know how to line up a thumb guide if there is one on the grip?
On that, I'm not sure. However using this method to install that grip will ensure you can just blast it with a quick burst of air to move it if need be vs having to ruin it if it's on wrong. Sorry I couldn't help you on that.
Thanks!
No problem
I usually put a mark with a sharpie on the tape before i air blast it on. that way i have a little guide as im sliding it on.
what do you do if you put it on crooked? Be kinda hard to turn it into place if you didnt get it perfect first try. Also let me go spend a bunch of money on an air compressor rather than 5$ for some solvent.... cause thats the easy way?
When the air expands the grip it allows you to move it to where you want it to be. So if it’s crooked give it a quick blast of air until it’s straight.
Was that double sided tape?
No. Just masking tape.
were'nt you supposed to take the backing tape off the double sided tape ??
Eileen it wasnt double sided tape.
why use double side tape?
Ken Harrison to use air you wouldn’t want to use double sided tape.
Have you had any issues with the grip twisting or not being fully bonded
+Elizabeth D nope. It's on tight enough that you won't get any of that.
+Elizabeth D none at all. It's such a tight fit as it is you won't have problems.
