Make sure you have something to go over shaft and grip incase they blow and they can! I already know some grips will come off and some won't, dual cords are brutal they get stuck in the thumb area and thin grips are dangerous they can blow. start with solvent down the top put your safety device over it , use small amount of air and wiggle top of the grip and work down. I got cut in the wrist and leg once with one exploding. Be careful . Some grips are a breeze on and off with ease. Yep, they're loud too! Ears were ringing for a good while after I had a MCC burst on me (they burst right where the cord joins the rubber, and leave a pretty good welt too!) Lessons learned: Warm grips first, V hot water for 5 mins is good. Roll the grip up the shaft and back again as far as you can a couple of times, roll back to normal before using air. I now use a 18" tube of PVC plumbing pipe as a sleeve over the grip, being so narrow, just wider than the fattest part of the grip, it stops blow outs or "bubbles" forming that ruin grips.

Nolan220 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I just used the air compressor to put on my new grips but I also used the two sided tape and the solvent I think it took maybe 20 seconds to put one grip on it was great will always use the air compressor to put grips on MattF 1 Quote Speedzone Driver Tensei AV Blue or G400 SFT 10.

The air nozzle they use is very nice but not really necessary; however, I use it and like it. Had it for years now. Don't really need to use Pure Grips; most others work fine, but I've used Pure DTX for years. They last more than a year. Hardest part is getting the old grips and tape off. When you put blue painters tape on a clean shaft, the next time you change grips, they just blow off. The other feature is if you want to try out a different grip, you can blow the grip off, install new one, then go back to the old one if you want without destroying it.

CCRyder Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I have had good fortune getting old taped ones off. If they plug the shaft with some tape originally and the air can get trapped, most will come right off. You can also spray some acetone based degreaser up in there prior to blowing. Any trouble in blowing off grips installed the traditional method? I'd like to save them if possible..

fixyurdivot Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hey all. This thread has my attention and interest in setting up to do my own re-gripping. I started looking at the various options and found this DIY video. I may still buy a small air compressor for other home use but, always one looking for the best bang for the buck, I have a similar 12V/120V tire inflator that has the cone nozzle. Anyone tried this? He then does another video showing the use of a PVC pipe to protect against bubbling - and for use on removing grips installed the "regular way". I presume regular way is with solvent and tape? How can one tell which method was used for the install? I suppose just using the PVC pipe in all cases makes that a mute issue? I may swing buy the second hand store and pick up a "get out of the rocks" iron to serve as a test case...none of my current clubs need new grips.

fixyurdivot Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Ok, completed my first DIY regripping project this afternoon. Easy, beezy, lemon-squeezy! I replaced the standard size TV360 on my driver, 3w and 5w with the midsize. I was careful using the hook knife not to slice into the shaft scrim layer.. managed that successfully. The 3w and 5w were the original OEM grips and had spiral tape below. Those came off quite readily. The driver shaft took a little more time but not too bad. I used Blue Painter tape (1.88 width) to make the one wrap and it works perfect at covering the entire circumference without overlap or gap. One of the DIY videos on changing grips with compressed air showed using a tiny bit of grip solvent to aid the process. I set the regulator to 40 psi and, using short bursts, slid the grip on. Upon inspection, I noted that it could be twisted a little... No Bueno. So, I used the air pistol and slid it right back off. I removed/replace the tape and blew out the grip to dry any residual solvent. The second install was much better but it still could be twisted towards the butt end. So, I moved onto the 5w but did not use the solvent... ROCK SOLID and it was not difficult to move into position. Repeated that wit the driver and it too was good. So, I grab one of the other grips and re-did the 3w again... perfect. Now, perhaps the solvent would have eventually evaporated and it would have been fine but my lesson learned is not to use grip solvent - it's not needed. The GP Align TV midsize (same ones on the new ZX5's) were supposed to have arrived today but didn't. I'm going to change the original PING ID8 grip on my 56/12 to match the set as I'm loving the new grips. That will require a little more care getting the "align feature" in the correct position, but using air makes things super easy. Lastly, I have to mention how crazy quiet the new compressor is. I opted for the Harbor Freight Fortress, 2 gal/135psi unit (vs. the 1 gal) and it is really well constructed, works great... and really quiet. If you hate the noise most of the pancake models create, here is the answer . ole gray, Shapotomous, MattF and 2 others 5 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one0wonder Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I was a distributor for Pure for years and yes the compressor is the way to go. Home depot, Lowes, Sam's Club or Costco all will have the small compressors. Mine ramps up to 100 psi and makes regripping very easy. Good luck with it and I would recommend buying the Pure gripping tool. Pricey but excellent. MattF and Kenny B 2 Quote WITB: Driver - Callaway BB Alpha 9* Kuro Kage 50g. Reg.

fixyurdivot Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Well, I was setting up to install the GP Align midsize grip on my Glide 2.0 wedge and noted that the stock PING wedge grip is about 1" longer... A quick search and I now see that these are "Dyla-Wedge" grips - an extra length grip offering the ability to choke down if desired. They also have a less tapered foregrip section. I grabbed my ZX5 AW with the GP Align and did a little choke down swing test comparison. I guess I don't find myself choking down that often or much and don't see it as an issue. The new PW and AW feel great, so I'm just going with it... but it did cause me to stop and rethink the plan... learn something new everyday . I am going to install with compressed air and a couple of the DIY's suggest it's not as easy to get the align feature, well, aligned using this method. I'm up for the challenge and will report back with the results.

I like to replace the tape when I regrip, but I go 18-24 months before I regrip with Pure Grips. I didn't replace the tape when I first changed my grips, and the next time the tape was a little hard and more difficult to remove. So, I go fresh tape each time.

fixyurdivot Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Well, I can see where the solvent method has a little advantage over the compressed air when installing the "reminder" or newer external Align feature grips. The install went fine but did require a couple of nudges with the air gun to get the align feature nice and straight. The solvent allows you to twist and turn for a bit until it sets up. Doable with air, just a bit more clumsy as you have to be managing the air gun. Before I removed the PING installed grip, I put a magic marker line, in-line with their factory position. The DIY videos discuss getting the feature in proper alignment with the clubs leading edge, but I can see where this can be a bit guess-work. For those of you who do lots of installs with align or reminder feature grips, any tricks in assuring one gets the correct clocking position?

one0wonder Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 It just takes a little practice with the compressor. Now I use grips that don't require tape so the alignment process is a snap.

I blew on a SuperStroke grip on my putter (alignment mattered, to get the flat side perpendicular to the face) and a regular SuperStroke grip on my SW and Driver that has a faux seam on the back side (the OCD in me meant alignment mattered). Assuming you have the club secured in a vice or similar, just "puff" air into the grip and gently rotate until you are satisfied with the alignment. If it turns out a little off, put it back in the vice and tweak until you are satisfied. Gentle puffs of air make it pretty easy to rotate into position.

Yea, gentle puffs being key to the air install. Fortunately I looked at a handful of DIY videos and fellow spy posts saved me from what no doubt many first timers experience . I also found myself holding the grip too far forward after getting it started - choking off the air flow. Then, not realizing the nozzle/stinger had butted itself against the end of the shaft and not allowing further advance of the grip .
