Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

[Shindig]

Hi all,

My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too. 

My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.  

First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.  

The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse). 

I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks.

Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently. 

Thank you!

You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

Thank you.  Would this remove the rattle or is that something I could diagnose with the grip removed?

Or would this be a case of asking a golf shop to fix the rattle, leaving the putter without a grip if needed, and then I could apply the grip myself?

When I installed Pure grips (years ago), I used a friend's air compressor -- I still don't own one, and that friend moved away (as did I, but not as far).  I'm sure I can find one though.

The rattle is probably a little loose glue or something.
