Found it at Wal-Mart a few moments ago.  I figured I'd double-check before I open it and use it since it doesn't say "glue" on it, but was right with the other glues (no other ones said Silicone).

I dunno. I've used this:

Okay, I am not sure I got the right thing... it's this:

That might work, but I'd suggest you get something that says "adhesive".  The product you bought is more of a sealant for cracks, etc.  It will probably work fine, but I've had great luck with silicone adhesive caulk/sealant.

Thanks, @iacas and @Hardspoon.  I'll return what I have and look for the other stuff this weekend.  If I play tomorrow for some reason, I'll tag a different club and change it upon review.

So I'm going to re-grip soon and I figure I should include the 6-iron with it, even though that grip is newer than the other ones in my bag that are getting re-gripped (I also use that club a lot more).

Is there an easy way to remove the GG tag from the club, seeing as how it's been glued in?

Did you use silicone or superglue? Both are kind of the same procedure anyway, just run a blade under the tag loosen the adhesive and then twist it off like normal. Clean off the tag of excess adhesive and you're good to go.

Which kind? Gorilla makes a lot of adhesives, some of which I would not have recommended for this application.

Oye I lost my 5 iron tag and had them send me a new one, and that one was gone yesterday. I barely had it 2 weeks. I use winn grips however. I hope it is in the bottom of my bag.

They make a silicone now. I think it dispenses itself.

If it's Gorilla Silicone, which is what I use, it's very easy to get the tag off, but it's sticky enough to hold it for thin hits that would have otherwise vibrated it out.

I realize this thread is a bit old, mods feel free to delete or move if warranted.

Recently started regripping my clubs with Pure grips and noticed my tags (Shot Scope) were falling out pretty frequently when practicing in my yard.

Thistothat dot com suggests Barge for bonding plastic to rubber. I happen to have some Barge in my adhesives bin, and also a tube of E6000 industrial adhesive. Plan to give each of these a try to see if it works. If the tags keep falling out, I may abandon the tags all together as I really dislike the Shot Scope watch anyways.

The Gorilla Silicone that Erik referenced above works great.   It holds them firm and is still easy to take the tags off if needed.   I'd try it first.

I use Golf Pad GPS Tags. Concerned that they MIGHT come off, I looked and looked for a product that says it is for plastic and rubber. Then a user recommended using electrical tape around the edges of the tags and top of grip. Appears to work and hardly noticeable. BTW...The only PURE grip I use is on my putter. Love it. The hole in the butt end seems a little larger than my other grips, but not sure. Best, -Marv

The only silicone product I saw on the Gorilla website is a sealant, which works okay as an adhesive but some plastics don't bond well with silicone, and I'm not sure what the Shot Scope tags are made out of. I have plenty of partial tubes of silicone sealant laying around, but not Gorilla brand, so I tried it on one tag.

I bonded one tag with silicone sealant, one with Barge and one with E6000. My suspicion is that the E6000 will result in the most permanent bond, but might require some destruction of the tag/grip to remove. The silicone sealant and barge bonded tags will probably be easier to remove. 

After they're all fully cured, I'll hit some balls and see how well the tags stay put. I've been hitting the ball off the toe lately, so I'll be challenging the bond strength under plenty of vibratory stress 😂

I've had maybe one tag ever fall out using Gorilla glue silicone.

This stuff:

I say maybe because it might be 0. It's not ≥2.

If the silicone product can withstand my poor strikes, this will probably be my first choice due to ease of removal. If they start popping out, I'll go with something more permanent and deal with removal when the time comes.

I'm not married to my Shot Scope system because I really dislike the ginormous watch, but I've got better golf related things to spend money on this winter (more lessons).

I got it to review but have thus far declined. I thought the watch could just be nearby, and would show info, but you have to WEAR it to track the shots. That's basically a non-starter for me.

I did my bag half/half using RTV silicone sealant or Barge cement to fix the tags to the grips. Everything has held perfectly except the 7-iron tag fixed with silicone eventually loosened a bit, but not to the point where the tag was going to fall out. This is the club I practice with most frequently, so I figure the extra vibration from thin/toe shots and hitting off a mat slowly loosened the silicone, or possibly the grip/tag wasn't cleaned off well enough before bonding. I re-fixed this one with Barge and it has held fine so far.

After my experiment, I would go with silicone in the future per the previous recommendations, as it is easier to work with, and holds fine for typical use, and just periodically check the tags.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
