Golf Grip Installation

1. Now for the actual grip installation, we'll need grip tape and some solvent. For solvent, you can either buy something labeled "grip solvent" at a golf store or use mineral spirits. I usually just buy a medium can of turpentine and it works great (although a little smelly!).

2. Cut off a piece of grip tape (twice the length of the grip) and without peeling off the protective covering, stick the slightly sticky side to the club shaft. Start at the point where the bottom of the grip would be and take it up to the butt end of the club, covering the hole in the end of the shaft and than back down the other side. Basically, you should have two sort of parallel lines of tape on each side of the shaft and going over the hole in the shaft. I've also seen some people use a spiral motion all the way from the bottom of the grip to the butt-end of the shaft.

3. Now that the tape is on, you must peel off the tape covering. It will now be very tacky.

4. Now, to put on the grip. Ideally, you would hold the club in a vise with a special rubber club shaft holder to hold it steady. But, you don't need to. Simply pour the solvent all over the tape and also coat the entire inside of the grip with the solvent. You can stick a tee in the bottom of the grip and fill up the grip with solvent if you want.

5. With the tape and grip fully coated with solvent, begin to slide the grip over the tape in one smooth motion until it's on all the way. It's important to not stop for too long while you are pushing the grip on or it might get stuck.

6. With the grip all the way on, position it correctly if there any alignment aids or logos.

7. Wipe off all the excess solvent off the shaft and grip and allow the club to dry.

8. Wait at least 8 hours before using to allow the glue to completely dry. Preferably, you should wait 24 hours.
