I am sure it get easier in time. I think 3 bucks per grip at GG is a better choice.
Heat Gun makes tape removal a snap. Almost falls off with some heat.Yes, that makes sense. The tape removal is certainly the most difficult and time consuming part.
What do you need a sink for when changing grips ?this is a big thing for me. i live in a decent sized city with lots of option for club work. the problem is, the city is spread out with tons of traffic. the closest place i can go is 15-20 minutes away, but it’s a big box store and sorry but i don’t trust them. so i go to a smaller retailer who i trust. he’s 25 minutes away (used to be 40 minutes away), so it’s an hour round trip, 2 trips (drop off and pick up). he’s not open on the weekends, and he’s busy so it’s usually a few days before i have my clubs back.
i also live in a smaller house, with nowhere to have a workshop. i have no sink big enough to work in. and i’m not what you might call handy.
this system is so good for someone like i am. the only reason i haven’t bought a full set yet is no arccos. i would prefer cord but i can live without. not having arccos might be a dealbreaker though.
i assume solvent. i removed the old grip take with something like goo gone and made a damn mess outside. would never do again. not to mention i wanted to punch a wall i was so frustrated trying to get the tape off.What do you need a sink for when changing grips ?
Tape is the absolute devil.i assume solvent. i removed the old grip take with something like goo gone and made a damn mess outside. would never do again. not to mention i wanted to punch a wall i was so frustrated trying to get the tape off.
i read a lot about how to do it. thought i had the right stuff. adhesive remover. heat. even used oil per another suggestion. still did an absolute sh1t job of it and never want to do it again.Tape is the absolute devil.
No need for solvent to remove old tape. About 30 seconds with a heat gun or perhaps longer with a hair drier and the tape peels right off.i assume solvent. i removed the old grip take with something like goo gone and made a damn mess outside. would never do again. not to mention i wanted to punch a wall i was so frustrated trying to get the tape off.
I’ve gone the hair dryer route with mixed results.No need for solvent to remove old tape. About 30 seconds with a heat gun or perhaps longer with a hair drier and the tape peels right off.
As for solvent and new grips I just throw a towel down And let it drip on there. Solvent eventually dries up. Or I’ll let it drip onto a paper towel and then pitch it.
$15 at Harbor Freight got youI’ve gone the hair dryer route with mixed results.
Done deal. Thanks!Heat Gun makes tape removal a snap. Almost falls off with some heat.
It’s like riding a bike friend. We all look pretty stupid at first and have a ton of errors. Then one day it clicks and you’re like OH, that’s not that hard at all. If I can do it, you can certainly do it.i read a lot about how to do it. thought i had the right stuff. adhesive remover. heat. even used oil per another suggestion. still did an absolute sh1t job of it and never want to do it again.
makes sense. i can’t really ride a bike either.It’s like riding a bike friend. We all look pretty stupid at first and have a ton of errors. Then one day it clicks and you’re like OH, that’s not that hard at all. If I can do it, you can certainly do it.
This right here. Too many turns and then the twisting afterward is a bit much I think. There has to be a way they can reduce that I would think.Conceptually I think it’s brilliant. In real world use, I’d prefer to have fewer turns and a fox for the bunching issues. Outside of that, I think the idea is innovative and innovation in golf is something I love.
I agree with you if you need to do a full set. I didn’t mind the turns with only two clubs. It I could see not being able to do 13 clubs in one sitting without losing feeling in your arms.This right here. Too many turns and then the twisting afterward is a bit much I think.

Haha yeah, wasn't it like 30 half turns or something to start and then the twist? Just seemed like a lot.I agree with you if you need to do a full set. I didn’t mind the turns with only two clubs. It I could see not being able to do 13 clubs in one sitting without losing feeling in your arms.
Exactly. Felt like I was doing an arms cardio vid. "Okay, we're going to start with 30 half turns. Ready? Here we go and crank it!"Haha yeah, wasn't it like 30 half turns or something to start and then the twist? Just seemed like a lot.
You do give off that dog in shoes kinda feelmakes sense. i can’t really ride a bike either.
There’s absolutely no requirement that one do an entire set of clubs at one time - I think that’s a red herring. Yeah? It’s a bit of a workout. But the convenience of not having to drop my clubs off, pay someone to do it, or have to get special gear to do them myself the traditional way are attractive selling points imho.Exactly.

In all seriousness, a full bag would problematic and that all by itself would be a deterrent. The guys at Edwin Watts reshafted my bag in all of 25mins and they saved the old grips.
Nope never messed with them and don't intend to start. Take it to Golf USA in Manhattan or to a small shop guy I know and am good with spending the few $'s they charge me. They will check the lofts and lies while doing it.THP.........What is THP..........One would expect that if you are reading this crap about grips........You actually put grips on and take them off........It is the most basic thing about golf clubs.....Your grips have to be in good shape.......I am by no means an expert at regripping......I have done it maybe 100 times......Sometimes it takes a while.....Sometimes I ruin a grip while installing.......It's a bit messy.....But dang.....We are golf addicts and grips are golf addicts 101.
I started doing grips when my 4 kids started playing and I built clubs for them and a friend or two or three asked...Then stopped...Now I have 10 gran kids and several are starting to play and Gramps is the go to for all things golf. Personally I'm a ribbed lover so the twist on never gonna be an option for me.Nope never messed with them and don't intend to start.
