Golf Club Grip Installation

By Tami Fisher

Golf grips must be replaced at the first sign of wear and tear. Once a grip gets slick, you run the risk of not being able to hold on to the club, and that can be dangerous. Installing new grips is relatively easy; it just takes a little time. And once you know how to do it, it's a skill that you can use for years to come.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step 1

Measure the length of the grip and apply double-sided grip tape to the shaft to match the length of the grip.

Step 2

Peel off the backing on the double-sided tape.

Step 3

Put the golf club in the vise with the club head square, so the grip gets installed correctly. Make sure the club is held firmly in the vise, so it cannot move around.

Step 4

Cover the hole at the top of the new grip with a finger and pour a little grip solvent into the grip. Gently shake the grip, so the solvent gets all over the inside of the grip, then pour the solvent over the double-sided tape on the shaft.

Step 5

Slide the new grip up and over the end of the shaft, and make sure the grip is centered and correctly positioned to the square clubface.

Step 6

Take the club out of the vise and let it sit for 16 to 18 hours to dry.
