If you search youtube you can get a lot of examples and how-tos.

It's very easy, I can a grip in 2-3 minutes tops.

Steps:

  1. Clamp club in vise
  2. Cut off old grip
  3. Clean tape off or not, depending on preference
  4. Retape, depending on need
  5. Pour a small amount of mineral spirits inside grip and "swish" around and empty
  6. Insert air hose into end of grip with nossle attachment
  7. Put grip on club without air gun engaged and apply foward pessure
  8. Start the air and slide the grip into place
  9. Make any final adjustments and let dry

Easy!

Can this be done with any grip.  Seems like some in the videos use Puregrip.

It can be done with any rubber only grip that hole at top of the grip, I've done it with Golf Pride Niion, Lamkin and Iomic rubber grips.

Looks like I will be headed to Harbor Freight to get a new tip for my compressor and giving this a shot.  I have a few old clubs laying around.

I regrip the old fashioned way (with tape and solvent), but I try to save my grips if I can. I use Jumbos which are thicker and can be saved. Putter grips too. The thin grips....forget it. The first time I tried it I left my compressor set for 150 PSI and blew the grip up. A loud bang! :-)

It's harder than it looks, I've tried it and couldn't make it work, but I'm sure it was me. The local club builder that I take clubs to for fixing and tweaking can pull a grip off using air in a split second. I wish I could pull them with air, it would cut down my time to regrip.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

It's easy to remove a grip with air that was put on without using double back sticky tape. I use blue painters tape exclusively. Easy on, easy off. Makes adding/changing counterweights a breeze. Also facilitates easy rotation of the grip to move the thumb wear spots off the thumb.

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
