Iomic grip help?

[maxbakerman]

I just bought a Cleveland putter and an iomic putter grip for it. I cannot get this grip on and it is being the biggest pita. I have water activated tape and the grip is so tight that I cannot put it on. I need to play in 4 hours and I do not have an air compressor or solvent. Any help getting this thing on? I've tried soap and water but it is simply too hard to get on.

I just installed one on my putter, and it definitely was harder to install than a standard, probably because the material is less flexible than rubber.  My tape was solvent based, if that makes a difference.  when I realized my "usual" method wasn't working I added a lot more solvent, which might have helped.  Also, grabbing the grip by a towel when sliding it on as opposed to using bare hands really helped.

i ended up not putting it on with water activated tape. once i got home, I used my solvent and solvent tape and it slid right on!
