Golf Tips : How to Re-Grip a Golf Club

[FlUrOmIlK1]

can you use soapy water?

[F1Farmer]

holy crap that is way too much solvent. What a horrific way to remove the tape. Show your clubs some love.

[wklosek42]

no need for that much solvent

[wklosek42]

you can actually leave the old tape on, as long as it's in good shape. It'll make a standard grip more of a mid size.

oh my god does there really need to be two people making this video.

"it is a metal shaft"

[wowwy87]

I personnally probably wouldn't take a razor to the shaft the use of paint thinner or goof off will do to take off the tape. I would make a mark with the old grip on so I know exactly where my realinment is but to each its own. If you have never changed grips before this would just be your basic quick and simple and then perfect your art to your own liking.

These knob polishers could have made this video in less than a minute.

[jgzero23]

why not try to use vinegar to remove the tape

[prorobo]

Wow way to ruin a club. I hope the techs at Golf Galaxy do a better job than these hacks. Just terrible.

[qtaylor25]

@prorobo how did they ruin the club?

[hawkins1424]

If that was my graphite shaft, I believe I would stick it up his arse after he got done scraping it with a razor knife. Stupid old fart.

[nickkouchoukos]

you don't scrape tape off of a graphite shaft. you're very liable to scratch away the graphite fibers, compromising the structural integrity of the shaft. you heat it up a bit and peel it off. it's much easier to use a hook blade to cut the grip off. you don't have to use grip solvent, anything petroleum based will work; lighter fluid, paint thinner. even gasoline and acetone work. gas makes your grips stink and acetone dries too fast. these guys are far from professionals.

[TRICKMASTER971]

It's better to use the hole in the end of the grip to apply the solvent to the shaft so that you get a nice stream coming out instead of a huge mess

[keable16]

is it really necessary to fill it up half way??? 1/4 full is a little much. YOU have to let it sit over night because you used soo much solvent. should only have to let it sit a couple of hours.

[stepandahaf]

No mention of a placing a realignment mark on shaft for proper grip realignment or taking club out of vice, placing head on floor , looking down grip and shaft to make sure grip is in proper alignment with head?

[kwok3d]

lots of coffee lol...

[lariatin]

Gee, it's a good thing they didn't let the guy who knows what he's doing speak for himself.

[kidxgolferfan1]

old man u r a dick

[Geschiedenis87]

This is a graphite golfclub! Look how this man takes the griptape of the shaft. It damamges the shaft badly. Just use some gripsolvent and the tape will come of more easy!!

[nrxhavoc]

@Geschiedenis87 thats a grip stripping tool. it wont damage the shaft unless he pushes into the shaft

[paulbord]

this guy toulk so long to do it i do this at work so much faster

[mrhowardb]

WOW. Thanks for this post. Seriously. I went to Ehow.com to get pointers and seeing is believing and confidence inspiring...

Thanks again..

[cndlivegod1]

wicked man i'll do that!!

[cndlivegod1]

what can i use other than some " special" solvent? would varsal work?

[TheForestKan]

@cndlivegod1 Vodka and paint thinner will work.

[cndlivegod1]

@TheForestKan thanx man ive been using wd40 and its just not good enough i think i'll try out the paint thinner ...i dont think i could bare to waste the precsious vodka ahaha

[TheForestKan]

@cndlivegod1 Yeah, no problem. I just came to the realization that rubbing alcohol is a bit easier to use, plus you can throw it down the drain, which you shouldn't do with pain thinner.

[trsnosrap]

Very important to mark the location of old grip onto the shaft before removing the old grip. This is important so the new grips line up properly when you are installing them onto the shaft.

[cactuskid007]

U DONT NEED ANY OF THIS GUYS........JUST USE AN AIR GUN .......NO KNIFE NO TAPE OR SOLVENT

[FloydDeLarge]

Thanks dude.

[phatlittlepiggy]

Very informative. Thanks! Just saved me some dough by not bringing it to the shop.

[hlaxpro]

WWAAAYYYYYY to much solvent.

[swolen4]

hmm. and all this time I thought grips were glued on with some kind of epoxy.

[Sleytownmafia]

wow he was removing the tape, and the tape is under the grip i wouda never gussed

[Sleytownmafia]

"now he's taking a breath, Now he juast coughed " u dont have to say every thing ovious, but nice work

[Garciamrcool]

This is amazing

[xxCumshoter]

is this guy retarded "as you see hes taking the grip off" you probly have a hard on while doing this

[OwzatOllie]

Echo in here?

[ratnick]

Did we need to hear everything twice??

Get it right assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[63Brummie]

In the Army they repeat everything three times LOL

[fnlost]

is there an ECHO in here (LOL)

JC do we need a narrator ??

[papi62596]

That was a good How-To, but maybe they should have rehearsed it. THat way he wasn't asking questions during the video and would have sounded like he has done it before. You also forgot to line up the mark on the grip with your club face.

[iloverickystevekarl]

Thanks Josef Fritzl. Funny how he had no idea what was going on! He kept on asking the guy what you do. What a dick.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Looks like a job I could pay some kid minimum wage to do.

[ratnick]

or you can do it yourself, you lazy fuck

[Pvtjamesryan2]

ratnick

Read before replying, jackass!!

[cookiecamp]

[jadenjak]

as lee evans would say it ^ ^

[vbombs9]

Ya thats the way i was showed how to do it , instead of the solvent he uses i use petrol or white spirits does the trick , very good video :)

[windslasherx]
