There are some pretty cheap grip kits on Ebay that come with 13 grips, grip tape, solvent and something to put the club in place. Has anyone ever used these?  Are they easy to put on?  How long does it take?  Is it even worth it?  Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I always put grips on myself it's not hard at all. I've never bought a kit off of ebay because I just get the tape and solvent at golf galaxy. The grips I usually get from golf works since I can usually talk my way into a discount since I buy them in bulk. I would say give it shot...

It is definitely worth it. If you have it done somewhere it can cost anywhere from 25-30 dollars in labor alone. Then you have to pay for the grips, tape, and solvent. I've seen some great prices on ebay. You can get quality grips, solvent, tape, and the clamp for about $65. They are simple to put on too. Get a hook blade utility knife to cut off the old grip. Remove the old tape on the shaft; sometimes if its really stuck on there take a heat gun at LOW temperature and warm up the tape a little. It will come off easier that way. Next, put your tape on; leave about 1/2" extra to fold over the end of the shaft. Wet the tape with solvent, then plug the hole at the end of the grip and pour solvent in the grip and slosh it around. Pour the extra solvent out, slide the grip on, and align the grip alignment marker with the head of the club. Wait several hours, and your ready to go. It is pretty simple. Check out you tube videos. Hope that helps.

Very much worth it. I actually bought one this spring. I did not need it as I have been doing my own clubs since I was 8 years old and have all the tool needed. But the price I found was unbelieveable and just an added bonus that I would now have extra tape, solvent and clamp. The grips I bought and the Lamkin Crossline Tours in navy. Cheapest price I could online was $4.19 each. 13 grips = $54.47 + $8.95 shipping = $63.42. I ended up finding a grip kit on Ebay with these grips and shipped to my house was $45. Give it a try...very easy.

I've regripped my own clubs for about 30 years.

I can build them up with masking tape just like I want and can make SURE the grip is lined up correctly.

I hate a grip that is not lined up perfect with the face.

Same for me, except I buy my grips off of eBay, I don't buy the kit just the grips, but buying the kit might be a good start.  I bought a vise that I can clamp on to a work table to hold the club, but found out it just as easy to hold the club in my hands and put the grip on over the kitchen sink.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
