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.

    • the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.
    • Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.
    • Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting. 
    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
