Putting grips on with air


Recommended Posts

I have been using Pure grips for a number of years because they are very easy to put on and off with air.

What other brand of grips do you guys use with air?

Driver: Ping G400 10.5* - stock Alta CB shaft

FW:  Ping G25 7W - Accra RT50 DYMATCH 2.0

Hybrid: Callaway Rogue X 23* - Accra 162H M2

Irons: Callaway Big Bertha 5 - PW - Steelfiber i95

Wedges: Muira 56* K - Steelfiber i110

Putter: Ping Ketsch Cadence

I have found most any brand will go on with air.  Grips with cord are a bit tougher, though.  I have put a just a little grip solvent in the grip with those and they go on nicely.  But then they tend to stick a bit coming off, so my extraction rate with corded grips is much less than 100%

Any of them. There's a lot of discussion regarding re-gripping in the forum. Try a search on Goggle (better than searching here in most cases) and you'll find a link to many MGS forum posts relating to re-gripping. With air or without.

Only grips I don't do with air are Golf Pride multi-compound.  I find the lower portion blows up.  All other grips go on with air without any problems.

I would be wary of multi layer grips such as winn. The underlisting isn't know for stretching.

Driver - 44.5" 5.0 flex 10.5 deg Graphite Design XC 6S GP MCC4+ 1 deg closed

Irons - 5-pw, GW stnd length 5.0 flex same grip 1 deg flat. Type low medium offset cavity back, no diggers

Wedges - 56 and 60 tour grind wedge spinner and mcc4+ grip 2 flat 10 and 8 in bounce

Putter - Makefield VS LH

Ball - truvis

Carried in a Sun Mountain C-130 USA bag - BE PROUD.

HC - LH but 85 is a good number, playing in Ohio.

I agree.  I've managed to put some Winn grips on for my wife with air, but it's tricky and takes a lot of patience... something that I don't have a lot of when it comes to grips.  My wife now plays Pure Wrap in midsize, so all is good.

If anyone is interested in using leather grips, I have been installing both Master Grip and Best Grip leather grips for years using blue painters tape and air. You just have to be aware of shaft butt diameter and how much tape you want to use. Keep the pressure below 80 lbs and use short bursts through a pointed tip (1/8" hole max) to keep from popping them. If they seem tight when you start, stop immediately, remove the grip and measure the shaft butt. The underlisting is thinner than a normal grip and if you go at it too hard, you will ruin an expensive grip!

I used air to put on a SuperStroke Slim 3.0 last year and it worked fine, I just had to go slow and be be patient.

I will say, some grips work better than others. The issue I have found with putter grips especially the superstroke is that you can turn the grip by hand for whatever reason. So with putter grips I use some 2-sided tape to help so they don’t move, but that’s just my preference. I use the pure grips air gun so not all the grip ends will fit, but I have another air nozzle that I use for the larger grips. You just have to be careful. I have blown out the cap on the super stroke putter grip trying to remove it. My fix for that is not using superstroke grips anymore. I found something I like better. I prefer using air especially when doing my own stuff, it makes changing or swapping the grips very simple.

I’ve done all types of normal “rubber” grips, and all the putter grips aren’t really a problem IMO except the Super Stroke. I still go old school tape & solvent with those, as I find it easier, and I’m not planning to remove & reuse those grips anyway.

I know this has been spoken about somewhere on the forum, but I cannot find it right now.  Has anyone had success installing a Gravity Grip with air?

Depending on the butt diameter size of putters you may have to use like 2 or 3 layers of tape with a Super Stroke grip. In that case it will not affect the diameter of the finished product. I have not had any problem installing or taking off any Super Stroke with air. Now the newer ones have the metal cap that is removable for the weights. I have not used air on one of them yet. I have been thinking on it and may try to epoxy the cap in and drill the air hole a little larger Since I do not use counter weights on my stuff anyhow.

I'm quoting myself because I've found the answer.  The Gravity Grip will go on with air like butter on a hot roll.

I tried blowing off the superstroke with the cap and blew the whole cap right out. I’ve found the the superstroke grips go on really tight. I probably could use some mineral spirits to help it slide a little better. I do t use superstroke anymore so I don’t have an issue with them.

I put all of my grips on using air.  Putting some grip solvent in the end right before install really helps.  It gives you a little bit of time after the grip is on to do some small adjustments to alignment.  The downside is you can't play with the club right away.

I use charcoal lighter fluid and use just a little bit on the mouth of the grip. Putter grips I put the grip on on the vise and then put it in my jig fixture on the floor and hold it square and adjust if needed. Charcoal lighter fluid is cheap and evaporates fast. I have literally slid a grip on and walked out to the door right then and hit balls into my net

that would probably work except I do the lefty stuff.  A young man newly excepted to a PGM program that we deal with was waiting for me to regrip. She took over and I went into a fitting.

I've been using air for about 15 years. With any rubber grip including the lower half of Multi compound I poke 2-3 holes with a small awl and go. Superstrokes have always been a go except the newer ones and the new Winns. If I need help I will spray some denatured alcohol and go quick as it dries pretty fast. I haven't done Winn grips in a long time and did one the other day and whole cover blew off!
