How long to play after grip change?

[danieldsuh]

Hello,

I am looking to change my grips and was wondering how long after getting them changed would you have to wait to play with your clubs?

I'm going to be playing at about 1PM tomorrow and would like to get my grips changed before hand. I know I should have taken care of it today but I didn't have the time.

Anyway, I was thinking about going to Roger Dunn right when they open. If I get them changed right then, would you think that I can use my clubs to play at 1?

Any info is appreciated. Thank you!

I had some regripped last week and was told I could use them in a few hours. Just be sure to ask the guy when you drop the clubs off. Whatever he says, do it.

Hello,

The next day is more than fine. I've been told everytime to wait 5-6 hours

If you use an organic solvent, recommended 6 hrs+

If they are being replaced the traditional way with tape and solvent, you should wait at least 3 hours. Keeping the clubs out of the bag and in the air & sunlight will expedite the drying process.

I've used clubs within an hour after new grips with no ill effect. Overnight is overkill. Most of these "techs" are clueless and just stating the old standard lines. The shop may even use the compressed air method which will allow immediate usage.

Should be until the solvent dry off that you be sure its ready to use.

Seems like mixed opinions on the length of time. Anything more resolute? The shop said about an hour. They will open soon so I want to make a decision.

well have you found out if they can do it this morning?

They r not open until 10 but last I had a grip changed they said 1 hour..I'm going to call soon

If you really want to play it safe, why not play one more round on your old grips and get them changed afterwards?

I've waited as little as 2 hours and it held up ok.

Yes I got them changed right when the store opened. They said that I can use the clubs again after an hour...
