Hey everyone my girlfriend bought a set of clubs at a garage sale and the grips are pretty bad. I was wondering how difficult it is to re-grip clubs on your own. I was also wondering what i would need and if there are any tips on re-gripping. Finally is it worth it or should I have someone do it for me thanks.

Its very simple to do. Go to your local pro shop and purchase the supplies you need to re-grip your clubs. They usually sell these materials in a kit. The kit comes with a solvent and double sided tape. Simply use a razor knife to cut off old grip. Remove old double sided tape. May want to use an acetone to remove sticky residue. Apply new double sided tape to shaft. I take the new grip and insert a tee into the hole at the top of the grip. I pour the solvent into the grip and shake it around. I pour the solvent onto the double sided tape, remove the tee from the grip and slide it on. Make sure and slide it all the way down. The grip should have a mark at the top and bottom of the grip. Align these marks down the shaft to the club head. you can use a straight edge or just eye ball it. Its a pretty simple process. and plus you have plenty of time to adjust to make sure they are straight. Once grips are installed I would let them set over night to dry.

Around here the cost of them putting on the grip is included in the price at some shops, but you could be without your clubs for a day or so, just do it yourself, take your time and you'll learn how simple it is to do.

1 vote for just taking the clubs in & having it done professionally. I'm sure it's not brain surgery to learn to do it yourself, but I like the "no-hassle" approach of letting someone else that knows what they are doing take care of it.

Getting your clubs re-gripped is DEFINITELY a must, but I'd rather have someone else do it. :)

I would definitely do it yourself. I had never done it until a couple of weeks ago, and now I wonder why I waited so long. Go to the golf shop and figure out which ones you like. Shop around (ebay, etc.) for the best deal. I got a full set of 14 Golf Pide DD2's, with the tape, solvent and a rubber vise clamp, all for less than $70. My local shop charged $8.50 each, including installation. If you have a little bit of DIY'er in you, it's kind of fun.

A couple of more tips: put a foil or plastic pan (like you would use to drain motor oil) under the club as you apply the solvent and install the grip. It catches all the excess solvent. Also, I usually mark the centerline of the old grip on the shaft using a Sharpie. This makes lining up the new grip easier. Otherwise it is sometimes hard to tell where the centerline should be.

The last time I had mine reripped I paid for the service, but I will not do that again, as it is just too easy and cheaper.

Sounds pretty easy. My wife hates the grips on her clubs. I am going to tell her to pick some out.

Golf Pride Tour Velvet? If so, you paid about $3.50 per grip for installation.

Check out http://www.puregrips.com They are non tape grips that you put on with an air compressor. You buy the little gadget for a compressor and all 13 clubs re-gripped in about 20 minutes. Took much longer to get the old grips off. You will also need something to hold the grip in a vise, I got mine from golfsmith.

The grips are made smaller on the inside so they grip the shaft with no adhesive necessary. I have had mine on for about 2 months and think they are great.

Right now they are selling the grips half off when you buy the tool. Cost me about $80 with shipping. I did find them at some online stores for even cheaper but that was after I had already bought them.

I will look in to that sounds like I might have to try that. Has anyone ever sharpened groves before? I was looking into that for my wedges but I also might have to try that with her clubs. Just wondering if it is worth it or not.

I have my clubs regripped by someone else also. Just don't have the interest to do it myself. I usually do no more than 5 clubs at a time so the turnaround time is damn fast. I had my backup Wilson irons 5-PW done in less than 2 hours. I use the Golf Pride New Decade MultiCompound grip.

My local pro shop just charges for the grip, but obviously they are expensive as it is a small shop. I regrip my own clubs when needed, only because i buy the grips and tape online and save a load off what one would pay in a shop. And it is just one of those things that is fun to learn.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
