Re gripping

[Jackooo]

Just did a full re grip on all my clubs tonight, it was great fun! Enjoyed doing it (which i didn't think i would!!) apart from peeling the old tape off :angry:

Who else re grips their own clubs? If you're willing to put the time and effort in you can save quite a bit of dosh.

Did you use a hair dryer to warm the old tape before attempting to peel it off? Usually comes off quite easily if you do that first.

 

[Jackooo]

No I didn't have a hair dryer, in hindsight I should've used one.

Hot air paint stripper is better!

Yeah maybe but you don't need too much heat especially on graphite shafts.

steam from some boiling water does the trick ! :thup: get the kettle on!

I usually re-grip my own clubs, just to get them the way I want them. Normally one extra layer of build up tape for all my clubs and two layers under my right hand for the wedges. Warming with a hair drier usually softens the glue enough to peel off old tape.

Regripped plenty in my time. To be honest I'm too damn lazy these days and let the pro shop do it.

I like regripping my own. It's a nice way to spend an evening. And the cost for me is prefect, I can regrip all of my clubs for around £20-25, instead of the £45-50 that folk in my area charge.

For the hassle I'd rather give it to a local range to do... Done right for pretty much the cost of the grips
