I’ve had one recently thst wanted to keep the grip because it matched the set as it had brand name on, It was still in reasonable condition. It has squally happens if the grip is relatively new.
I really appreciate your help with getting residual stucky tape off with mineral spirits. I also was watching another club pga professional use a heat torch with flame. Iver heat the grip tape and over heated it on a Graphite shaft. It didn't do any damage to the Shaft. Im regriping my entire Bag from Driver to my 60° Lob wedge. So I think you be fine with graphite shafts. Greatly appreciate your videos. I definitely subscribed to your channel and put a like! 😉
I see that flipping at the ball whilst putting all the time. Its normally from players in the 80+ age range. They grew up when greens were much longer, agromony wasn't at the level we have now and the 'pop stroke' was needed to get the ball up and rolling. Thank goodness those days are gone 😉
@@KentnDebi correct, however that is general the issue at many club who don’t have the staff to carry out such cutting daily. The demand on green-staff makes time management key to what practices can be carried out.
@KentnDebi members clubs need a group to f willing volunteers like yourself to help out on the less green keeping side of the things. This in turn allows the highly skilled professionals to focus on key areas as well as the agronomy side of things.
Well done Darren, excellent and funny video, I hope that your North American subscribers can understand your Yorkshire twang over your heavy breathing 🤣🤣
Hi I regrip a lot but if I have a midsize and want to try make it all close to a jumbo do I do 4 wraps at the bottom hand and 2 wraps at the top also or do you know how many wraps I'd need. Much appreciated the video. Thanks.
You would have to make it 6 on the Norton for plus 4, if you have some callipers to measure size would help gauge the size. Should be 1.025” 2 inch from grip cap.
I whack the stick down the shaft through the vent on the grip Darbs, just so I hold the grip as naturally as I can. I seem to remember someone creating a stick to install on the butt of the club...TourStick maybe? I'm old and it cost money, so being a good Tyke I used what I already had and was free 😂😂😂
What some of the old goats use to do is lift their lead heel off the ground during the back swing and push it back down to shift weight on the downswing, its really the same thing but can be done on the golf course. Also your timing is off, start the weight transfer while the clubs going up in the backswing, that gives you maximin torque at the top.
Thank you. I know that the weight shift is essential for a good golfswing, but I swing so fast with my arms so I don't have time for the weight shift.. timing is so crucial.
Can't say I've seen those tees in Canada at my golf shops. I tee mine low like the first one using wooden pegs. My first clubs were Walter Hagen blades and the drivers were persimmon woods.. cheers another fine video.
Hi Mike, hope you are well. I use standard wood pegs and tee it down. I thought they were a worldwide standard. I advice lots of new golfers to use graduated tees to help create some consistency. I used persimmon to start with Gary player blades.
It's not that bad if you have a tight lie (like in the video). You just pretend you are using a less lofted club and hit it accordingly. But the shot I can't hit is if you have a fluffy downhill chip -- a bit like the grass above him - only steeper. I get that with greens that have little steep ridges around them. I can't hit those to save my life. I fluff every one -- hitting it high of face of the wedge and the ball barely makes it onto the green. Fluffy grass with a flat lie is easy, but with a steep downhill lie, yikes. I tried hitting that shot with an 8 iron, and that helps some. I still fluff it and hit it high on the face. But since the face is flatter, I get a bit more distance, but still not enough to get to the hole.
Question is does the green need to be marked as ground under repair in order to take relief. Like in this example there is white line or chalk around it. How about when there's several dirt patches in your line.
There is a white line around it, I should have taken a shot which made it more visible sorry By having the white line it clearly defines the area, which makes it easier on the golfer. A club may identify problem areas on the course without any lines with the use of a local rule. For example the dirt patches that are on x Green are deemed abnormal course conditions and should your ball come to rest on or if your line putt is affected relief can be obtained -(rule 16. Abnormal course conditions)
@darrenarbergolf Thank you for the reply. I'm my case there was no white line so I checked with a staff at the club house who started since there was no local rule I had to play as is. So I was confused as to why there was a golf rule for abnormal condition if the green is suppose to be green with grass, not a patch dirt area on the green where you are forced to putt over uneven patchy dirt. Made no sense to me but that's what he told me. I always felt the greens are suppose to have grass, even if it's brown I wouldn't have mind, but numerous dirt patches in a 2 foot area should be a no brain to get line of relief.
I always find Adidas uncomfortable at first with them traditionally being quite a narrow fit and me having feet like a duck. Thankfully Adidas use a decent leather, which is soft and breaks in/stretches pretty quickly
@@darrenarbergolf The Tour360's in a wide still needed breaking in for me. The good thing is that Adidas use good quality, supple leather that moulds to your feet quickly 👍
@vincebutler1121 I think if I started playing now I think I would be trainer style. But I find my feet moving too much in trainer style when compared to more traditional.
Would this work for the LT Winn dritac grips? They’re very thick and have like an almost ring round the top of the grip. Also, any particular thing to be aware of when taking one off a non steel shaft? Would hate for a tool to ruin the shaft shoving it down like that. Thx!
Hi i wanted to regrip my golf clubs myself to give it a try. Just a question. To rebuild the size will a normal masking tape do or I need exactly the 3M ones?
