how to regrip golf clubs

To regrip golf clubs, follow these general steps:

1. Remove the old grip by cutting it off carefully with a hook blade knife, cutting away from your body.
2. Remove the old grip tape from the shaft using a knife or scrape it off; a heat gun or hair dryer can help loosen stubborn tape.
3. Clean the shaft with a solvent like white spirit or grip solvent to remove residue.
4. Apply new double-sided grip tape to the shaft, ensuring no wrinkles or bubbles and leaving a bit of tape overhanging the shaft end.
5. Apply grip solvent liberally inside the new grip and on the taped shaft.
6. Quickly slide the new grip onto the shaft, aligning it properly, and push it fully into place.
7. Allow the grip to dry and set as per the solvent's instructions before use.

Using a vise to hold the club steady during this process is highly recommended for safety and precision. Grip solvent is specially formulated for this purpose and ensures a smooth slide and solid adhesion. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes per club, longer for beginners to get accustomed to the technique. This process can be done at home with basic tools: a hook blade utility knife, double-sided grip tape, grip solvent, a vise, and a towel. It is cost-effective and allows for customization of club grips to personal preference.
