? about regrip

[FlopShotArtist]

Just got my driver and 3W regripped today and the guy said "Tomorrow afternoon it should be good to go". How long does it take for the whatever to dry and I can use it? I was going to go hit a bucket tomorrow and I need a more specific answer than "afternoon".

haha I've always given myself the old 20 minute rule, I also had my driver regripped today at my range and then just hit some wedges and 9 irons for 20 mins or so and went right to the driver

probably should be fine before then. do you know how he put it on? some places still use solvent to slide the grip on whereas my local shop use an air machine thing to put it on. if he said afternoon i would just go on around 1-2 o'clock?

Oh, so if I got it regripped today at like 3 PM, it will be fine tomorrow at noon - 6 PM?

Yep, usually 15 minutes is good.

I regrip about 15 min. from my course. The word from my man is that it's good to go when I get there.

You will be fine no matter when you go tomorrow. The solvent evaporates very quickly and the grip sets. (Ask anyone who has tried to adjust the grip position more than a minute or two after putting it on - virtually impossible.) But I usually wait a couple of hours to be safe.

The only exception would be if you had the shaft extended. Then you need to allow additional time for the epoxy to set. 24 hours should be sufficient for that. (There is quick setting epoxy, but even so, why risk fouling up the work you just did/paid for?)

Simply leaving it overnight is plenty of time. Try doing it yourself next time, its quite simple.

Flop,
To be safe, I usually wait 30 minutes. But you are good to go real quick.

I believe even the video on the Winn Grip Site says 30 minutes. You could probably trust that as the rule.

I always give it an hour.
