I just did my entire bag with new grips.  I did them all with the air compressor set to about 50psi.  The hardest part was prepping and removing the old grips and tape.  Once I got to putting the new grips on, it took about 15 seconds per grip.  Quick and easy.  I tried taking one off just to see how it worked; just as easy as putting them on.  

Now we’ll see how they hold up as far as slipping and twisting is concerned when I play on Thursday and Friday.

Awesome! And agree completely that the hardest part is removing the old tape. 

Right now I've got a two different grips I'm experimenting with prior to doing the full set. Neither have slipped or shifted (yet). Have probably hit around 200 balls with each. Will be interested to hear if you experience the same.

Out of curiosity, what grips did you go with? I'm trying the Tour Velvet Plus 4s (standard) and New Decade MCC Plus 4s (midsize). Kind of liking the latter. But the former is nice as well. Thinking I may order a well reviewed set from Amazon that's similar to the MCC to see how they compare.

I went with the MCC Plus 4 Standard.  I have used these grips in the past and really liked them.  My last set were Tour Velvet and I didn’t care for the feel as much as I do the MCC, so I went back.  I had a gift card from my in-laws, so these grips were pretty much free.  Can’t go wrong there.

I’ll report back after I play a few rounds on how the grips hold up as far as moving on the shaft.

I do like the feel of the MCCs. Have previously been playing the Lamkin Crossline. Figured the Tour Velvet was similar, but hadn't really loved the Tour Velvet in the past. They must have updated the material/composition, as I do like them a lot more than I remember.

For anyone questioning the cost of PURE grips, y'all don't realize how long these things last, I've had sets of them last 6+ years easily.

Thanks, I was thinking about using air compressor too but don’t have any only 12v tire compressor. I have read about grip twisted after awhile with air install. 
For others, I used vise clamp and grip holder, maybe if I install the grip inside garage might be easier. I watched a lot of you tube instructions before attempted myself.

which portable air compressor would you guy recommend? Accessory?

I've owned a couple different compressors. Current and favorite is a California Air Tools 8 gallon. They're a little pricey, but far from outrageous. And I'll likely never buy a different brand. It's crazy how quiet this thing is. As far as accessories, I've used both a standard needle inflator and tapered blow gun nozzle. Kind of depends on the grip, as the holes in the end of them vary in size.

Wow, that’s a long time.  I get a few years out of the GP Tour Wraps, and I thought that was a long time.

It's the rubber, I didn't realize it until I actually tried them. Whatever the other companies put in their grips, polymers or whatnot, that's what breaks down, but PURE uses all rubber (I think) so they don't wear out really. Phenomenal grips.

Report back on grip status after using compressed air instead of glue... 

I am happy to report that I played 2 complete rounds along with range sessions before the rounds and have experienced no slipping or twisting of the grips.  I will definitely be using this method from now on.  I especially like that I can play with thickness of the underwrap if needed and not have to ruin a grip to get a tailored fit.

    • Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.  
    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
