In another thread about a re-gripping issue, a side conversation started around using compressed air to install grips. My set is due for new grips this year, and I'd been wanting to experiment with a couple options. Figured I'd give the compressed air approach a try. As that should make it really easy to quickly swap out different brands and models for testing. 

First attempt a few weeks ago was a success. Pretty quick learning curve. And was able to get them on and off with standard blow gun attachments. But knowing there are purpose built nozzles/attachments, and having 3D printer, I decided to try my hand at putting together an attachment of my own.

I may tweak it a little after some more use, but I'm pretty happy with how this first iteration turned out. Fits all the grips I have one hand (Lamkin Crossline - Std., Tour Velvet Plus 4 - Std., and Decade MCC Plus 4 - Midsize). Printed it in two parts. One for the portion that goes around the grip. The other is just the small coupler that threads into the blow gun nozzle. CA glued them together. I could "weld" them with a soldering iron as well, but I don't think it's necessary for this application.

If anyone is interested in the STL files for personal use, let me know.

@DoubleAce what is the "OD" and "ID" of your coupler?
I'm thinking about adding an extension to the one I have to keep the 
grip straight when it becomes inflated. Also, it would prevent the grip from 
"Ballooning" when pressurized. 

Just a thought. Nice work on your attachment! :beer:

@Club Rat Thanks!

O.D. is 1.35" and the I.D. is 1.20" for the portion that goes around the grip. So just enough room for typical standard and midsize grips. I could go a little tighter, would only take a couple seconds in CAD. And may do so once I land on a preferred grip. Also would be easy to make it longer as well. Right now it's just an inch and half.

The "nozzle" that inserts into the grip is also tapered. As even golf pride grips vary in the size of that hole from model to model. Taper starts at .145" and reduces down to .125.

      I’m going to go out on a limb and say that maybe if Jason spent less time on his clothes and more on golf he would win more.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).
