Regripping irons

Is this easy to do? What grips are recommended, are Sharpro grips any good or do they wear quickly?

Have a search on here. Plenty of recent threads but it's simple enough to do yourself (although I'm lazy so get my pro to do it). I think one of the previous threads even had youtube videos to help

Its easy to do, plenty of clips on YouTube to watch.
I've used Sharpro before and found them to be a little thin compared to the same type of GolfPride.
OK grips though....

Easy job to do with minimal tools.

Get the correct grip core size for your requirements and you're onto a winner.

Sorry should have done a search, will have a look now. How's best to ensure they align properly?

Mark the shaft with a sharpie using the old grip line mark.

Yeah sharpro are a tad thin. I would use 2 layers of tape to get them nearer standard size. I liked the quality of the multi compound grip. Would use them again. Didnt like the dual compound though

 

[kevster84]

Any other alternatives to Sharpro which are good VFM?

Try gamola golf they usually have offers.
Make sure u have white spirit a good craft knife, get proper re gripping tape to. It pretty easy done.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet are hard to beat got the money.

I have the full cord versions and find them excellent.

I suggest a trawl through Gamola Golf. All the grips the OP could hope for http://www.gamolagolf.co.uk/acatalog/GolfGrips.html

Has anyone used black widow grips? Reputable brand?

 

[pbrown7582]

Tried some multicompound and Found them a bit thinner and less durable than golf pride

 

[kevster84]

Seen some and gamila and they look ok. Only thing is couldn't see any other shops selling them, most have Lamkin or Golf Pride?

 

[kevster84]

Oops mean gamola!

Never been a fan of Black Widow.

Always came across and felt very cheap and cheerful.

Tip- Gently Pull the grip back up the shaft from the bottom once it's fully on whilst holding the top down.
It ensures the grip doesn't set stretched out. You'll probably find the bottom will recede back up the shaft a good 10mm will a little help.

Got one on my 3-wood. You've just reminded me to get it taken off, don't like it.

Its best to measure the gripped club up against a non installed grip.
Personally I will never use white spirit, its horrid stuff. It stinks and destroys any shaft labels you have on the club. Try and get some HF-100 activator, its 100% more pleasant to work with.

I have had this problem. Grip looked awful. Completely out of proportion.

Haven't done one myself since.
