Five Steps To Remove Golf Grips And Regripping

Step 1: Cut the Grip

The first step in removing a golf club grip is to cut it off. Use a utility knife or razor blade to make a small cut near the end of the grip. Make sure not to cut into the shaft of the club. Once you've made a small cut, use the blade to carefully cut the grip off the club, being careful not to damage the shaft.

Step 2: Remove the Adhesive

Using a rag or towel, wipe away any remaining adhesive from the shaft of the club. You may need to use a bit of elbow grease to get all of the adhesive off. If there is still adhesive left on the shaft, repeat step two until it is completely removed.

Step 3: Clean the Shaft

Once all of the adhesive has been removed, it's time to clean the shaft of the club. Use a clean rag or towel to wipe away any remaining solvent or rubbing alcohol. Make sure the shaft is completely dry before moving on to the next step.

Step 4: Apply New Tape and Solvent or Rubbing Alcohol

Once the shaft has been cleaned, it's time to apply new taps and apply grip solvent or rubbing alcohol to the shaft of the club and let it sit for a few minutes. This will loosen any remaining adhesive and make it easier to remove.

Step 5: Install the New Grip

With the old grip removed and the shaft cleaned, it's time to install the new grip. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly install the grip. If you're unsure how to install the grip, consider taking it to a professional golf club fitter.

In conclusion, removing a golf club grip can be a bit of a challenge, but with the right tools and a bit of patience, it's a task that anyone can tackle. Remember to be careful when cutting the grip and removing the adhesive, and follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the new grip.
