I just don't know the sizes of the threaded parts for that attachment to connect to. It comes with the two different connection pieces! So should fit any air compressor.

Put a little on prior then blow the grip on and when it dries it will have that little bit of stick. The hairspray is a nice idea … but the only thing we have on hand is probably hair gel. I’ll give this some thought and what I’ve got that’ll work next time.

downlowkey Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 2 hours ago, berkeleybob said: The second one was with my Callaway Rogue ST Max 3-wood. Same grip, but unfortunately, there was slippage between the both ends. I couldn’t get it to settle down, and I’m not sure why. Both are graphite shafts, Adila and Tensei, and it’s the same grip model. So I went with the conventional way—tape and solvent. Is it possible that you stretched or bunched the length on the Callaway install? It’s hard to tell for certain from your photos but that could be part of the problem. I always double check the air installed grip length to make sure it matches a loose grip. Stretching or bunching the length can cause a mismatch between the shaft handle section OD and intended corresponding grip taper ID (read: may cause slippage). I typically need some minor adjustments to make the installed length match. In my case, usually a bit more stretch because I only apply force to the butt end, so that the grip is more likely to install without any twist. But it can also go the other way if you’re pulling on the grip too much with your other hand. My bag is graphite top-to-bottom with air installed Star Sidewinders, I never use any kind of shaft buildup and haven’t experienced any slipping. berkeleybob, William P and Rob Person 3 Quote PXG___0811 X 9* - Mitsubishi Diamana s60 Limited X Cobra___S9-1 Pro 15* - Matrix Ozik XCON 7 S Adams___XTD Forged 3i - Matrix Ozik Program F15 120 S Adams___CMB 4-PW - Matrix Ozik Program F15 120 S KZG___Tri-Tour 50.08__54.10__58.12 - Accra iCWT 2.0-95i S Nike___Method Converge B1-01 (copper insert) Maxfli___'23 Tour X "The most important shot in golf is the next one“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as easy, but it does work. I have the “Pro” Star gun and butt cap attachment but the brass shouldered taper tip you have circled is actually my favorite. The shoulders seem to create a really good seal point that’s actually flush against the interior of the butt, and because of that, I can normally dial back my regulator pressure enough that I don’t have to worry nearly as much about blowouts or grip wall bubbles.

I can’t recall what happened when I tried the air compressor method with the 3-wood, but it’s possible that’s what happened. I’ll check a little more closely when I do a couple other clubs later this week.

ZackS Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I have found that if you get the inside grip wet it does a few things. Helps it slide on even easier and cleans off dirt which helps it stick when dry. Once in place I run a little more air through to blow out most the moisture and they are ready to use soon after.

Rob Person Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 First off thank you for the article! Very helpful indeed. I was successful for my 2nd try on installing a grip. (1st attempt was months ago and was a horrible experience. Had to take it to a golf shop) I didn't have any solvent, but had some liquid chain lube that dries very tacky after 10 minutes. 1 wrap of tape. It got stuck here. Little air bump from that back, it ballooned in the middle, and gave it a quick tug to finish it to the tape. The end result. Is there a specific thread for re- gripping clubs? I can't find it.

Cagolfer Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I blow on grips when I am testing new grips all of the time. I put a piece of tape at the end of the grip and poke a hold through the middle with an inflation needle. Works great.

Shrek74 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 This may be a dumb question, but has anyone blown on MCC+4 grips? If so, how have you found them to be in terms of rotating or moving once they're in place?

Just make sure you prep the shaft well to remove any oils etc. I usually use acetone and then I torch it to burn off any residual oil or reside. Just a quick once over with my little butane torch.
