Jiro Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I am looking into re-gripping my clubs soon and am interested in re-gripping with air. I am going with Pures which got me looking into the air method. I currently don't own an air compressor so looking for ideas on what the minimum air compressors out there that will get the job done. There looks to be ones with tanks in the $80 to $100 range and other small tankless 120V ones that are for car tires, bikes, etc. which are in the $20 to $30 range. From what I can tell you need about 50 to 100psi pressure for re-gripping. My other uses for it would probably small tasks like tires. Anyone using these small tankless ones for re-gripping? Trying to figure out if these small ones will be good enough. Thanks.

BIG STU Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Absolutely do not use more than 35 PSI !!!! Pure grips will even tell you that. You need only a small compressor that will be able to maintain 35 psi. You need a regulator to throttle it back to 35.

G3OFF Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 That has been completely contrary to my experience, you're going to want a minimum 60 PSI (I find 85 is sweet spot with most grips). P.s. Pure grips says 60-120 max http://www.puregrips.eu/video-tutorial/ Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Jiro, L_Proffer, B_R_A_D_Y and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I've had a large one for many years, so going with air was a no-brainer. You need one with a tank. The one that MattF posted would be just fine. I put my Pure grips on with anything less than 80 psi. Just short bursts of air.

I really need a heat gun so I can stop using my torch to remove shafts from club heads.The hair dryer won't get hot enough to remove the shafts. I only use it to help remove the old tape after you remove the a grip. Hearing the old tape up help it come off the shaft much easier. I always use my torch to remove the heads. You just have to move the flame around. It only takes about 15-20 seconds of heat with a torch. (I use scotchbrite to remove burn marks if I get some on the hosel), if you are removing a graphite shaft, it's more important to have a shaft puller for that since you don't want to twist the head with a graphite shaft it will break the shaft fibers. downlowkey 1 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xstiffshafts Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Run it at 75-80psi with a pvc pipe just larger than the grip acting like a housing around the grip - this will allow you to confidently blow grips off without worrying about popping them. I have an 8 gal Kobalt compressor from lowes. Great for blasting, airbrushing, grip work, air hammering.

Although I guess I could just get a new torch just as easily too and use the hair dryer for the grip tape.
