re-gripping - grips slid right on today

Carolina Golfer · May 27, 2020

Not sure, if the tip was given here. But, as suggested, I heated the grip prior to the install and it went on as easy as it can be. Wow, mission accomplished.

How did you heat it?

Heated a grip? Interesting - I have never had to do that. I would guess it would make it a bit more flexible, yet not sure it is needed. At least it worked for you and that is what is important.

night and day difference. Curious if there's any after affect? Might it be too loose once it dries?

Interesting. Did they stick right away? Too loose after they are on?

I don't think it would hurt it or be loose. It should cool off and go back to normal as long as you did not cook it LOL

That feels like it could be disastrous quickly haha.

If they’re not going on smoothly, just hit it with more solution, especially the butt of the shaft. If I get sticky, that’s usually what the problem was.

Went right on. Not too loose this morning. Should play well.

seems like a nice tip, might need to be careful depending on which grip it is.

I agree. If you use enough solvent the grips should slide right on. If they stick you haven't used enough solvent.

Never heard of this before, I would be concerned the heat could cause the grip to become misshapen. As mentioned more solvent and there really is a technique to getting the grip on. Get the collar on the club and with one swift movement use your body weight to push the grip on.
