Wrapping your own leather grip?

[hanalei]

Was watching the golf channel before the Arnold Palmer tourney couple weeks ago and Arnold was showing the host how he used to wrap his own grips using strips of leather, old school. I would love to try this. Anyone know where to buy these perfectly sized strips of leather? or am i going to have to go to a leather store?? Couldnt find anything but premade leather grips on google..

I got a tanned calf calf hide from Tandy leather. If you goggle Hickory golf you can find some resources for leather strips. Try http://www.hickorygolf.com/ .

I have a play set of hickory shaft clubs. Wrapped the grips myself old school, with waxed thread whipping, and reversed the cow hide with furry side out. Better for handling moisture. I used friction tape for the base material to build up the correct grip size. turned out nice. Very comfortable feel.

good luck.
