PURE Grip Twisted?

[hoonnirun]

Anyone have problem with pure grip twisted after a round of golf? After tried out a few pure grips “pure combo”, I like the material and ordered the rest to complete all my clubs. I also ordered some pure pro to try out. Past Wednesday after a round of golf I noticed the logo and alignment mark is not where is should be. I thought I didn’t install correctly but upon more investigation most of the grips were twisted, some more some less. I can even twisted the grips around just with my fingers/hand. I air install the grip with one layer of blue tape.

The short answer is No.

A couple of things. Firstly, I use midsize grips not standard, so that may be a factor. 

First question is did you put them on graphite or steel shafts? (I don't think it should matter, but maybe.)
Were your shafts clean and dry when you installed the grips? 

Last question, what color were they. (Again, not sure that matters.)

I've been using Pure Grips for about 3 years now. I have no tape at all on the shafts and I haven't experienced any twisting at all. 

Hmmm.....🤔

It hasn’t happened to me either. Are you using any tape on the shaft or just bare metal?

I have only installed about 10 sets with air and just one with Pure Grips and never had a grip slip. That said, when I have installed .6 grips on .58 using tape and solvent, if I did not build up the grips with at least 3-4 layers of tape the grip felt too small and I might have had a few move.

Since you installed with air you could test on a grip or two in about 5 minutes. 
 

Good luck. I know that is frustrating.

I use a duct tape backing (one-sided). When you do grip installation without double-sided tape… it should be really tightly fit. If they're not really tightly fit, or if the friction between the grip and whatever is on the shaft… it can twist as you make swings.

So either build up the shaft a bit more or use a "stickier" (without being the actual sticky side of tape) substance on the grip, like duct tape or electrical tape, not masking tape or painter's tape.

Thanks @iacas I was thinking also the blue painter tape might be the cause. Doesn’t matter one layer or +4, steel shaft or graphite. I believe all my shaft (ping G30) are 600 just one of my loft is 580 which I add about 4 layer of tape plus +4 on lower hand.

Try one with duct tape and grip stay on better. It is a little bit harder to install compare to gliding on blue tape. BTW pure pro materials is very thin compared to pure combo at the top part.
show. how I can twist the grip after installed with +4 blue tape.
