The quality and condition of the grip you have on your club is a frequently overlooked aspect of maintaining your golf equipment. Arguably, it is one of the most impactful features impacting your performance on the golf course as it connects both you and your club in your golf swing. Added benefits not only include greater performance but additionally, fresh new grips is a sure way to breathe new life into your set!
Step by step guide
Step 1.
Gather the necessary materials: new grip, grip solvent, grip tape, grip installation tool, and a utility knife. These can be purchased at most golf stores or online.
Step 2.
Remove the old grip from your club: use the utility knife to carefully cut the grip along the top seam. Then, use the grip installation tool to loosen the grip from the shaft of the club. Be careful not to scratch or damage the shaft. Once the grip is loose, carefully pull it off the club.
Step 3.
Clean the shaft of the club with a cloth and grip solvent. This will remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the shaft, and will help the new grip to adhere properly.
Step 4.
Apply a strip of grip tape to the shaft of the club. This will help the new grip to stay in place and prevent it from slipping during use. Start by cutting a strip of grip tape that is slightly longer than the shaft of the club. Then, apply a small amount of grip solvent to the tape, and wrap it around the shaft, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Be sure to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles as you go.
Step 5.
Install the new grip: apply a small amount of grip solvent to the inside of the grip and the tape on the shaft of the club. Then, carefully slide the grip onto the shaft, making sure it is properly aligned. Use the grip installation tool to press the grip firmly into place, starting at the bottom and working your way up.
Step 6.
Cut the excess grip tape and grip material at the top of the club: use the utility knife to carefully cut in a straight line, leaving a small amount of tape at the top to prevent the grip from slipping.
Step 7.
Leave your newly regripped golf club for 5 minutes to ensure the grip solvent has properly set. Enjoy your new grips!
Conclusion
Regripping your golf clubs is a simple process that can make a big difference to your game. By following these steps, you can ensure that your clubs have a good, secure grip. A tacky grip allows the best possible control over your shots. The process is easy to follow and requires few materials to get started.
