I would agree with goblue, a vise really isn't necessary and if mis-used, could potentially damage the club. I would also recommend to leave a half inch of tape on the end, then fold it into the end of the shaft. This helps prevent the grip from splitting of the edge of the shaft is a little sharp.

I regripped my irons today. Bought  the grips, hooked blade cutters, tape, solvent and the rubber vise holder from Golfsmith.  Practiced on a metal shaft club first. Did it on my garage at 35F and the first grip was too stiff to slide down. So I warmed them with hot water, and they slid down easily.

Question. Although I used a hooked blade, I was careless on my first try at cutting the grip on a graphite shafts and noticed I had put a light 3' long nick in the first shaft, right at the point where the grip starts.  All the rest of the shafts went fine as I took pains to hold the knife at the proper angle.  Is that nick like cutting a pane of glass with a diamond scribe, i.e, will the shaft split there under stress? If it's a hazard, I'll just replace that club.

In my experience, if it's a small dent that's mostly in the paint... you're fine. But I've only seen a few shafts like this and not among the strongest golfers with high swing speeds, so YMMV.

You may want to check around at some local golf shops or pro shops.  I know a few places that I go to will re-grip clubs for free if your buying the grips from them....

Cleveland Launcher DST 10.5*

Ping G15 17*

Mizuno MP-53 4-PW with GS-95

Mizuno MPT-11 Black Nickel 52* and 58* with GS-95

Golfsmith is running a re-grip for 98 cents special through March 22nd.  Pretty sure you have to buy grips from them, but just a heads up if anyone wants themd one cheaply.  No idea how well they are done, but I suppose it's hard to mess up putting on a grip.

Ha ha. You can scratch a graphite shaft like I did as a do-it-ypurselfer. However, I was also re-gripping some old metal shaft Wilsons that I picked up on a lark at a Goodwill Store  and would be ashamed to bring to a shop.  And after I did, darned if they didn't hit better for me than than my current irons, which weren't very good to begin with. I guess Sam Snead only put his name on quality stuff.

I would take my T/M Burner driver and fairway wood to a shop though. Don't wanna mess those up.

So at $1 a club for labor, that's around 15 bucks to have someone do it for you.  You have to buy the grips anyway.  Why do it yourself?  Your saving a whopping 15 dollars.  Am I missing something?

You are only missing the satisfaction of "doing it yourself". I love working on my clubs, and haven't had anybody else regrip a club for me since I learned how easy it is. Nobody cares for your clubs like you do and if you do your own regripping, you know exactly how well it was done. If you use ribbed grips you can adjust each rib to your grip, too. Some guys like their grips/ribs to line up a particular way. When you do it yourself, you get what you want.

  • You may not live near a golf store - travel time, gas.

  • You may be on a tight schedule - you yourself can re-grip at anytime, say at 2am in the morning if you have to.

  • Some shops don't remove the existing layer of tape and/or may do a bad job - doing it yourself ensures a job well done assuming you're experienced.

  • If you live in a high COLA (cost of living area) city, it's not $1/per but up to $5/per.

That said, on the rare occasion the "Get a Grip" van is in my home course parking lot after I finish my round - I know he's good and charges reasonable rates, so I'll use him.

If you regrip clubs yourself, it helps to have a vise to steady the club, both when removing the old and putting on the new grip.

You can get a rubber-cushioned shaft clamp for $10 which will hold the shaft securely in the vise, but protect it from damage by the vise.

IF you want others to regrip for you, look for good deals between Thanksgiving and Groundhog Day.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I regrip my clubs using Pure grips and an air compressor for removal and installation, no vise is required.

That's a fact.  The going rate in my area seems to be $3/grip.  Combine that with the grips that seem to be increasingly expensive and the cost to regrip get significant.  Saving $30-$40 by installing your own grips (which is easy) starts to make more "cents."

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
