Hey everyone my girlfriend bought a set of clubs at a garage sale and the grips are pretty bad. I was wondering how difficult it is to re-grip clubs on your own. I was also wondering what i would need and if there are any tips on re-gripping. Finally is it worth it or should I have someone do it for me thanks.

Its very simple to do. Go to your local pro shop and purchase the supplies you need to re-grip your clubs. They usually sell these materials in a kit. The kit comes with a solvent and double sided tape. Simply use a razor knife to cut off old grip. Remove old double sided tape. May want to use an acetone to remove sticky residue. Apply new double sided tape to shaft. I take the new grip and insert a tee into the hole at the top of the grip. I pour the solvent into the grip and shake it around. I pour the solvent onto the double sided tape, remove the tee from the grip and slide it on. Make sure and slide it all the way down. The grip should have a mark at the top and bottom of the grip. Align these marks down the shaft to the club head. you can use a straight edge or just eye ball it. Its a pretty simple process. and plus you have plenty of time to adjust to make sure they are straight. Once grips are installed I would let them set over night to dry.

Around here the cost of them putting on the grip is included in the price at some shops, but you could be without your clubs for a day or so, just do it yourself, take your time and you'll learn how simple it is to do.

1 vote for just taking the clubs in & having it done professionally. I'm sure it's not brain surgery to learn to do it yourself, but I like the "no-hassle" approach of letting someone else that knows what they are doing take care of it.

Getting your clubs re-gripped is DEFINITELY a must, but I'd rather have someone else do it. :)

I would definitely do it yourself. I had never done it until a couple of weeks ago, and now I wonder why I waited so long. Go to the golf shop and figure out which ones you like. Shop around (ebay, etc.) for the best deal. I got a full set of 14 Golf Pide DD2's, with the tape, solvent and a rubber vise clamp, all for less than $70. My local shop charged $8.50 each, including installation. If you have a little bit of DIY'er in you, it's kind of fun.

A couple of more tips: put a foil or plastic pan (like you would use to drain motor oil) under the club as you apply the solvent and install the grip. It catches all the excess solvent. Also, I usually mark the centerline of the old grip on the shaft using a Sharpie. This makes lining up the new grip easier. Otherwise it is sometimes hard to tell where the centerline should be.

The last time I had mine reripped I paid for the service, but I will not do that again, as it is just too easy and cheaper.

Sounds pretty easy. My wife hates the grips on her clubs. I am going to tell her to pick some out.

I just had my pops 990's regripped with Golf Pride. The grip and installation was $7 a club....

Golf Pride Tour Velvet? If so, you paid about $3.50 per grip for installation.

Check out http://www.puregrips.com They are non tape grips that you put on with an air compressor. You buy the little gadget for a compressor and all 13 clubs re-gripped in about 20 minutes. Took much longer to get the old grips off. You will also need something to hold the grip in a vise, I got mine from golfsmith.

The grips are made smaller on the inside so they grip the shaft with no adhesive necessary. I have had mine on for about 2 months and think they are great.

Right now they are selling the grips half off when you buy the tool. Cost me about $80 with shipping. I did find them at some online stores for even cheaper but that was after I had already bought them.

I will look in to that sounds like I might have to try that. Has anyone ever sharpened groves before? I was looking into that for my wedges but I also might have to try that with her clubs. Just wondering if it is worth it or not.

I have my clubs regripped by someone else also. Just don't have the interest to do it myself. I usually do no more than 5 clubs at a time so the turnaround time is damn fast. I had my backup Wilson irons 5-PW done in less than 2 hours. I use the Golf Pride New Decade MultiCompound grip.

My local pro shop just charges for the grip, but obviously they are expensive as it is a small shop. I regrip my own clubs when needed, only because i buy the grips and tape online and save a load off what one would pay in a shop. And it is just one of those things that is fun to learn.
