Re-gripping clubs

[jim8flog]

I thought about going this route.....just went with the vise instead. Depending on how often I change grips.....I may go compressor at some point.

The compressor route is good one if you are gong to do it often. It allows good grips to be easily salvaged for reuse or if you have got the alignment wrong to take it back off and do it again. You do need a suitable sized tube to stop the grip from ballooning.
It also means that on some shafts I just leave the existing tape on and add layer of extra thin double sided tape for the regrip.

I bought my compressor for other reasons (mainly tyre inflation) but it has proved useful for many purposes.

I've never changed grips on my clubs ???

Unless using grips with an inbuilt spine I put my grips on with the logo on the underside.

I know some of the pro's prefer this method as it avoids potential alignment issues.

Hate seeing the logo, always have it down.

Ditto.

You have to own the clubs longer than 2 weeks to wear out the grips Chris!

Your grips have logos?
"Old Tom" or something? ?‍ ?

I'd love to be able to find period grips but there aren't any around and if there were I'm sure they'd be rock hard and impossible to get on.

Whenever possible I retain the original grip but if they're shot or have been replaced in the not too past then I'll happily re-grip.

OK on a serious note ?, I do actually remember wrap-around leather grips from the 80s, similar to tennis ? racquets I guess.

Sometimes you can strike it lucky and get some decent original leather wraps.

Pic 1 is a set of 1957 Dunlop Peter Thomson irons.
Pic 2 is a set of JB Halley "Tournament" irons from a similar date, one odd grip but they're all playable.

I use a piece of 32mm plastic waste pipe.Works a treat

Actually using your clubs may lead to the grips needing changing

Rather than pouring the white spirit over the taped shaft, just dunk the shaft in the bottle.
Less messy.
