I was fitted a few years ago for a standard grip with 3 layers of tape, and the Lamkin website suggests the same based on my hand measurements.

I am regripping my clubs myself for the first time so forgive me if my questions are a bit stupid.  I am very happy about the fitting process and am confident that I can do it without problems.  But I am a bit confused about the 3 layers.

I presume when they say 3 layers of tape they mean 3 layers of a certain thickness of tape.  Is it ok to use 2 layers of masking tape and then 1 layer of double sided tape to make up the 3 layers?  Would masking tape be thick enough to count as 1 layer?  Or would 2 layers of masking tape equate to 1 of the 3 layers?

Hope that makes sense to everyone!!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

3 layers would be 3 layers of masking tape plus the 2 sided tape (usually a given) or you could get away with 3 layers of 2 sided tape total.

Masking tape adds about .01 (.005 thick) and 2 sided tape adds about .015 (.0075 thick). Remember that you double the thickness because it affects diameter because the tape is on both sides of any measuring point.

Here are 2 great links. Moparman426 found the first one and the second one is the one I have used in the past.

"3 layers of 2 sided tape total", is the way my fitter told me to do it.

The math works out the same for this example. A lot of people don't use the 2 sided tape for build up because it is more expensive than regular masking tape.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
