HOW TO REPLACE GOLF GRIPS?

Must Read Grips Replacement Tips

 1. Replacement tools TIPS

• Recommended use of vise - If you intend to replace the grip at home, we recommend buying a vice. It will save you installation time as well as a lot of effort. Of course, if you want to install it with your own hands, you can see our video here.
• Use rubber blocks to protect your clubs - The rubber block creates better resistance to prevent the club from sliding. It is also flexible and protects the club from hard vice scratches. Remember to use golf grips' special rubber blocks, which are inexpensive; some brands include them in their grips sets.
• Tape and solvents are essential - Solvent and tape are essential for grips replacement, the good tape and solvent will help you to install the grips faster. The tape is the bond between the grip and the club. The solvent makes the tape temporarily unstuck, thus making it easier to install the grips.

 2. Cutting and Removing Grips Tips

• Cut the grip three times - Many people start picking away the grips when they cut them off. And then found that the grips were difficult to remove as it was not cut completely. As an experience of changing the grip master every day. You need to cut the grips at least three times on the same "line", especially on the thick end of the grips.
• Be careful with knives -  The most important thing is to protect yourself from knife cuts and, secondly, to protect your clubs from scratches. We recommend you not use too much force when using the hook knife and cut at an even speed—many careful presses instead of one big force.
• Removal of grips with both hands - For your safety, please use both hands when removing the grip, as follows: first hold the club with one hand and remove the grip with the other. 

3. Tape Removal Tips

• Easy tear tape - There is no tape residue if the tape can be torn by hand. In this case, you can peel it off by hand. Some special materials may detach from the club with the grips.
• Hard to tear grip - If your tape is difficult to remove, we recommend you use a heat gun to blow back and forth on the tape for a while (don't stay in the same position) and if possible, add a heat conductor bar, which will transfer the heat more evenly.
• Glue residue - For stubborn glue and tape residues, we can use a solvent and then wipe with a rag. If there is still a residue after using the solvent, it is time for a more professional adhesive remover.

 4. Apply New Tape Tips

• Tape should not be too long - If you purchase a full roll of tape, you will need to cut it up. Please measure your grips length in advance. Prevent any excess tape from leaking out after installation.  If you use custom-made tape you can ignore this problem.
• Leave some tape at the end - Set aside a length of tape beyond the end of the club to cover the end of the club and tuck it into the hole.
• Double-sided tape - Both sides of the double-sided adhesive tape need to be peeled off, Although it is a simple matter, we still need to remind you

 5. Solvents Tips

• Don't save your solvents too much - If there is not enough solvent, you will not be able to install the grips silky smooth. Whether solvent is needed for the tape and the inside of the grips, a little can be left inside the grips when installing the grips.
• Shaking the grips - Pour the solvent into the inside of the grips and plug the holes at both ends of the grip with both hands. Shake the grips so that the solvent is in full contact with the inside of the grips.

6. Apply the grips Tips

• Don't interrupt - Don't stop during grips fitting, push the grips to the top in one continuous step. To install the grips in one go, align the opening of the grip with the club and insert a small section then push the grips with both hands.
• Positions - A stable body position is required for grip installation. Hold the front of the grip with one hand and the rear of the grip with the other. The feet are positioned with one foot in front and one foot behind, using core strength as well as arm strength when pushing the grips.
