Doing your own grips

[bobmac]

OH I give in......Do not ever try and regrip a club without a vise under any circumstances

I do
Although it is easier with a vice

I'm going to get these bad boys I think.

The picture shows 13 colours so I fancy one colour for each club
I'll get em at the start of the season and give them a crack myself.

Quality price Under £40 for a full set of grips.

Hey Joe - where you going with that gu..... Sorry got carried away..

Just noticed that these grips are slightly oversized compared to normal GP grips. Not sure if +1/32" is going to make any difference but to a rising star it might feel a bit wierd!

Oh dear I might have to reconsider then

What grip tape do I need, 3/4 Roll of Double Sided Golf Grip Tape? Or 2 inch Roll of Double Sided Golf Grip Tape?

Or does it not matter?

It doesn't make any difference, go with the cheapest mate.

 

[bobmac]

3/4 roll is most used

Doing your grips is easy. Vice or no vice doesn't matter it is a simple job. A vice will make it a little easier to line up but is my no means essential.

Use a curved blade in the Stanley knife, especially if you're doing a graphite shaft.

If the grips are oversized put the new grip on and push it 1" further down the shaft than the old grip was. It'll stretch it out and make it a standard diameter.

I used 2" just because I thought it would be quicker. Put a strip straight down the shaft a gnats shorter than the grip is, take the backing off and wrap it round.

Sounded better to me than spiralling 3/4" but I don't suppose there's much in it.
