I've seen a few references to using plain masking tape to regrip. Makes sense, the grips are pretty tight on the shaft and would have plenty of friction on plain tape. No messing with two sided tape, and the pain in the butt of peeling off the nonstick membrane, easier to apply with a little air, easier to remove, etc. Just did a set of irons for a buddy and it worked great, tried to twist them and they didn't budge, we'll see how it works when he hits them tomorrow.

Yeah, I've experimented with the masking tape idea. I find it good, but I'm not sure how much torque it can withstand. I use this method to save old grips, but unfortunately, it doesn't work every time.

I've installed PURE grips on all of my clubs, and didn't use any tape at all. These grips are specifically designed so you can use them without tape.

Could work on other grips too I suppose, probably depends on the type of tape and grip.

I locked the clubhead in a gap in my workbench and twisted the hell out of the grip, I actually felt the shaft twist torsionally but the grip didn't budge, I think this should work fine.

I have used it in emergencies when I didn't have 2 sided tape. You just have to work quickly. The 2 sided tape is a lot easier because the solvent makes the tacky turn into a lubricant to install the grip and it gives you a little more time to align the grip properly.

No solvent used, I blow them on with an air gun.

Gotcha...you shouldn't have any problems. They won't budge.

      I think you're underestimating the lateral accuracy of mid/high handicaps even with wedges in hand.

      Option 1 for 8 iron and above. (150 yards and above), Option 2 for 9 iron and below. To pick one, since 75% or my irons are 9 iron or less (I play my rounds at 6,000-6,200 yards 90% times), I would settle for Option 2. Basically under Option 1 a 15 yards dispersion left or right for short irons and wedges would be terrible. I mean who wants to hit half wedges 15 yards left or right? That would make me quit golf. But OTOH the +/-10% (10 yards long/short variance but dead straight) would be manageable.

      Day 234: Quick range session. Working on lower body stuff in the backswing. Looking slightly better, but going to need more work. I do think I lost a bit of my previous wrist stuff in the backswing while practicing, so something to keep an eye on.

      First option, easily. ± 15 yards with an 8I is unacceptably poor. Every iron would basically overlap two other irons plus a little into the other one (max of one, min of the one two irons away).

      I'd still take the first option. Knowing exactly how far your ball is going to carry every single time is huge.  Plus an average dispersion of 30yds isn't that big, that's still going to result in the overwhelming majority of your shots on the green.
