must be the shafts
Got home yesterday afternoon and decided to regrip the clubs since the J15DF came with stock size grips instead of the stock +2 wraps I had asked for and the yellow GP grips are slippery to me.
I bought 13 midsize Sharpro Multi compound grips off the bay for $35 shipped and some grip tape, solvent and a rubber shaft clamping thing from Golfsmith for $28 shipped to me earlier this week.
I was pleasantly surprised how easy the procedure was with the old grip and tape removal taking longer than anything else. The rubber shaft clamp worked great in my bench vise holding the club nice and secure and square with no damage or marking on the shaft.
I went ahead and just cut off the grips since I had no intention of using them again, using the 3/4" tape I used the spiral method of taping putting 2 wraps under the lower half of the grip. They came out great and the whole thing took about an hour or so. (2 beers and a half a robusto).
The Sharpro grips felt great today on the course and we will see how the hold up, I did all 13 clubs so now the bag is the same all the way though for the 1st time in a while.
Having bought 2 rolls of tape and a quart of solvent, I can change them 2 more times at least for the $28 investment and it was a very relaxing project to do.
