DIY Black Putter Shaft (or other colors)

[RookieBlue7]

The EvnRoll grips are foam core. You're going to play hell getting it off with air. Best method is to use a grip removal tool and a BUNCH of solvent.

 

Or just get a new Winn Pro grip. They're the same thing

This looks so good!

How do I get the original grip off an Evnroll ER2 without cutting it?

I have a compressor and blow other grips on, but I don't know if it will blow off. Usually iron grips are glued too hard and the air is trapped.

 

I really want to reuse my Evnroll grip.

I would set the air to only about 20psi and then stick a tee in the hole of the grip end, then remove the tee, and putt a bunch solvent inside, then just very slowly and with short bursts of air work the grip a little until it comes loose, if it seems to be sticking add more solvent the air will escape eventually and it should push the solvent down the grip. Just don't force the air. It will likely come off very easily. Just go slow.

That looks gnarly, well done!

Gracias! This was my first time pulling a grip off using an air compressor and got a small tear in one of the seams. Luckily was easily repairable.

Now, if SuperStroke did a licensing deal with Disney for Star Wars grips, this would come in handy to make some light saber putters @golfspymbp

I found matte black shaft wraps, super easy to put on and didn't need a new putter shaft.

You could also use heat shrink tubing. I used it several years ago on a shaft.

Oh yeah I plan on buying heat shrink tubing, not the wraps...

Word of caution, I did this little project a few years ago.  I ordered the heat shrink online and when it arrived it had wording on it.  It's cheap so I did not bother to return it but I made the trip to Lowes and picked it out myself so I could be sure there was no wording.  It is a super easy project that does exactly what you want.

Even better, thanks for the tip...

Love this idea, I know I am a little late to the party on this thread, but just curious. If you put this on without removing the grip (By cutting it down the length of the tubing) would the crease be unbearable? Even if you "hid" it on the back side of the shaft so it isn't visable at address?

I ordered 15 ft of black heat shrink tubing for a few putter refurbishing projects on the work bench. Just did an initial test run on my Bobby Grace NYC Tour.

Blacking out the Lamkin Crossline graphics was an easy decision after seeing the shaft done.

What do you guys think of the murdered out look?

*shoutout to @hckymeyer for starting this DIY thread wayyyy back.

Looks great!!  Love stealth mode

Was there any show on the putter shaft when the tubing comes off? ie. If I don't like the look on my putter (which I doubt), would the shaft be damaged after I took the tubing off? Looking to do this to a new to me Scotty Select Golo 5. Think it will look awesome with the black head, but don't want to ruin the putter if I don't like it or mess up. Thanks!

There is no damage to the shaft from this, there's nothing sticky in the tubing, it just shrinks to fit and is held by the friction of it shrinking.  

I guess I should clarify that I've removed the tubing from 2 shafts I've done.  Both were used for a season and neither had any issues or damage.

Finally got this Bobby Grace NYC Tour dialed and decided to roll out the tuxedo treatment today in honor of its newly minted gamer status.

Trimmed 1.5” to play at 32”, threaded a 50 gram counter plug into the Traxion Tour 2.0 tech port and dressed the shaft in black heat shrink. Feels like this wand may have some magic. Thanks again for starting this thread @hckymeyer!

[DriverBreaker]

This is definitely on my ‘to do list’!!!  Thanks for sharing!

[Bobbers]

Decided to give this a whirl.  Needed to take about an inch off the length of this Spider OS and figured "what the heck".

Easy to do and I have to say I like the stealth look that resulted.

[Achilles2K]

Great idea. I have used heat shrink tubing for various other projects but never considered it for this! The tread has been going for several years now, does anyone have any comments to share on the longevity of the shrink wrap tubing? How well is it holding up? Any issues with it?

Also, in the UK it seems difficult to get it without the printing 

and 16mm seems elusive too. . .

Anyone in the UK found a good source for this?

Cheers,

[KOG]

Thanks for the trick
