I use a compressor with NDMC grips.  I use a ball pump needle in a hand trigger gun you can get at most hardware stores.  I insert the into the hole in the grip with the pressure set at ~30 psig.  Then I trigger the gun and push the grip on.  Really easy.

That being said.  I just ordered the Pure Grip gun and a couple of grips to try.  I will try the gun with a NDMC grip.  I'm sure it will work.

I've used the gun + inflator tip to blow on about 10 different types of grips, and it's worked fine on all of them other than a super stroke. I went back to tape and solvent though because they were slipping. Got a set of pures the other day though, so will probably give it another go.

I am switching to Pure Grips this year. Pretty soon really.

What would be Pure Grip's equivalent to Golf Pride Decade?

They don't really have an equivalent to the NDMC. Being all rubber you can't really do the cord thing. Their most textured grip is the DTX

I have some 5SK PURE grips you can try out in early April. Wait before you buy your own. I'll get them to you relatively inexpensively.

They're not the DTX though. Just Pure Pros.

I switched from NDMC to the DTX.  Although they are not cord, the grip is excellent even with sweaty hands.  They don't tear up my hands as much either.  My review is below.

Nice job with the review. I've also been trying out the DTX grips the past month and liking them so far.

Might be a stupid question. I bought de pure grips, but without the gun. I was planning to punt them the conventional way. Avoid of using double sided tape? Better not use the conventional method?

It's much better to use them the way they're intended to be used. Get the little gun attachment piece… for now, and the future.

Always listen to good advice. Bought a compressor :whistle:

Other question, should I use it to get the old grips off, or use a knife. I heard that using a compressor might blow up the grips and could possibly harm you. I always used a special knife.

Don't use the gun to remove grips installed the old way. It won't work. Slice them off, get the tape off, get yourself a clean slate, then go Pure.

Here's a video for installing Pure grips - http://www.puregrips.com/tapeless_installation/

The installation of PURE Grips requires no adhesive tapes or solvents. Using our proprietary quick-connecting tools, the simple power of air pressure installs our grips as securely as any adhesive tape. Once installed on a steel or graphite shaft, the grip provides optimal stability while the elasticity of the rubber combines with friction to create "rubber memory," ensuring the grip will not loosen or slip.

You should be able to spend about $100 or so. You just need something capable of 40-60 PSI.

    • When does a 'non-conforming' club become just another piece of metal or plastic?
    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:
