Easy Golf Grip Removal with this Tip 

I've been using acetone with a grip removal tool for years in removing golf grips without destroying them. Sometime, it wasn't easy! This time was the worse in trying to remove a paddle board putting grip. I could not get it to budge. I came across your video recommendation to use grip solvent which I did and it couldn't have been easier. After 25 years of struggling, I have now found a new method of removing golf grips! Many thanks to you, sir!!!!!

I've been blowing them off with air pressure. This is much SAFER- GREAT channel!

Thanks for taking the time o make the video. I just put new grips on with ease.

That was the best method I have seen to remove the old grips.

A hacksaw blade works great for getting tape residue out of the grip -- the small teeth grab the tape without damaging the inside of the grip

Excellent method to removing the grips Thanks

Super fast and clean grip removal. This is the best method I've seen yet. Thanks.

Best golf club repair tip channel on RU-vid! I like to put the club in a vice vertically with the handle down and move the removal tool around the grip. Have a drip pan underneath to catch solvent. Try your best to have the removal tool over the grip tape when first slide into the grip. Always love your videos and keep the great content coming!

Great vid. This is almost exactly how I remove grips. The Golfworks tool is well worth the 💰!

I like that idea of the paper towel. I've always used a paint pan but the towel has to be easier. Thanks!

Great video! Used this technique removing my grips, worked out well. Instead of the special grip removing tool I found an old barbecuing long handled spatula laying around to use. By removing the spatula flat part all was left was a small flat landing with rivet holes. Filing the hard edges to give it a hopefully non scratching end. Also bent the handle side bar to off set it away from the golf shaft.

Love the technique! Was putting off buying a grip removal tool because I thought you just shoved it straight down. Did not think of the spinning.

Super easy. Great video!

I have the tool and it works great, but your technique is far better than I used. Thanks for sharing.

I like this method, tried it with the hanger and it works so fast.

As always, very informative. This will definitely speed up my next grip removal. 👍

I've got an older grip removal tool with a wooden handle that I bought from Golfsmith back in the 1990s, and I've been using this method to remove grips that I've wanted to keep, but I've had to do it in the kitchen sink. I like the paper towel method, think I'll try it next time.

That is easy!! Great video and I will try that next time.

Awesome Tip 👍🏼 , I've Had that Tool For Grip Removal but Never used it 🤦🏻‍♂️, Much Easier Way for Grip Removal And Money Saving !!!

I do mine the same way with the exact tool. Good investment. Saved about 300 grips so far.

Great video! You are the best!

Excellent tip!

I like the tool you have. It works great.

Very good technique!

Thank you! Awesome video.

I've done both methods of grip removal, bent coat hanger & $25 GolfWorks tool. The GolfWorks tool is so much faster. Recently switched all of my grips, GolfPride TV +4 mids, Driver down to PW, midsize TourVelvets on my wedges. For removal I put a folded rag inside a 2 gal. bucket on the floor, a bit more leverage for the longer clubs.

Amazing tip!

Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

Been doing that for years. A good way of doing it

Great stuff Gabe…I actually use a BBQ Skewer that has the identical shape as that without the offset…works well.

I've been looking for just this. This will save me $130.

Thank you so much, great tip, i did not know how to use my tool, i was trying to use it without the solvent.

Great tip again

Oh my God.😲 total game changer👏

Good stuff, thx. You’re good dude. Recently acquired several sets of clubs with OG leather grips. I know cra cra… Some in good shape just dry. Do you have any Ideas tricks of trade to restore/save all leather grips? Wilson staff & Top Flite, I love blades ✌️out

Dental syringes with the curved tip work great for getting the solvent under the grip and not spilling a bunch of it.

This is brilliant, cheers

Thanks , have bladed for years, but not heated them before removal, just heated the tape after making easy to scrape off the shaft. Will now heat before also.

Thank you. The trick is to spin it around. I have the similar remover but still had a hard time removing the grip because I just kept shoving it down instead of spinning it.

Worked super well. 6 putter grips in about 20 minutes. The flatcat grip was very stubborn but I got it. Thanks for tip with paper towel 👍

Great vid, simple technique. Sad to think that 2-3 grips really is pushing $25 USD these days! I remember as a kid getting Golf Pride "Victory Grips" for 89 cents each and re-gripped 1-2 times per year.

This is way better and safer than the old needle injected solvent and twist method.

Great video. 👍👍

Beautiful.. Thank you very much.

Just curious. I just regripped my 5-PW with CPX (midsize) grips. I like them alot so far. My question is should I put the CPX grips on my gap, sand, and lob wedge as well? I have tour velvet (standard) on those wedges. Am I just playing mind games with myself telling myself I hit the wedges better with standard tour velvets, or should you always put the same grips on all your clubs? Thanks.

I paid £45 for the same removal tool here in the UK! Worth it though if ya always experimenting with different grips…. 👍

Great idea

Have 2 shafts. I'm cutting down my older steel driver shaft to experiment. Cutting it from 45 to 42.5 inches and adding 14g to the head with a jumbo max grip. But I'm getting anxious before the new grip comes in and want to go ahead with the process. Going short heavy regular flex steel shaft and a long light graphite stiff flex. I retired the regular about a year ago was too long. But I don't want to go cutting around on the graphite shaft. I'm hoping a little more weight shortened will be good for keeping me in the fairway. I average 275 off the tee. But even if my numbers drop to 260 with it I'd be happy

Hmmm....I did just learn something. I do the air compressor method, and it usually does the trick. However, I never thought of heating the grip. I bet that will help with the stubborn one.

Yep 👍🏿 😊Tried it and saved $$$$$

I use a hacksaw blade to remove residue and smaller pieces of tape that I fumbled while removing the grip. It works the best in my opinion. I haven't tried a longer bolt tho. Yet but I will

Very nice!

Great am not going to waste more grips now🎉

Thanks! Been using air compressor and have many grips blow apart lol.

I completely concur with the removal tool, I made one from wire hanger it worked but it's nothing like the real deal, now here's my question I also have a tape scraper for graphite shafts now exactly how does one sharpen that bad boy! thanks in case you answer or do a tutorial .. enjoy your content.

I worked in a pro shop for years. We used a fine gauge hypodermic needle and syringe to inject solvent into several spots into the grip. Then we would work the liquid around until the grip easily slid off. No tape residue inside the grip and no tools.

A long thin flathead screwdriver & rubbing alcohol pretty much does it. I always use air compressor and usually remove tape altogether. Haven’t used tape in 20 years!

Cool thanks

I use a small paint fill bottle to squeeze the solvent between the shaft and tool. Uses far less solvent and easier to pin point the solvent

nice , thank you

A friend used the air compressor method and employed a metal vacuum cleaner tube cut to length to keep grips from exploding. Worked well for him.

Can you give a suggestion on what work bench you have or use? Specifically looking at the workbench in your old studio/shop with the vice grip on it?

The golfworks tool is the best I've used in 40 yrs. Don't push down too hard ,it can go through the end cap.

I’ve used a wire hanger for the last 3 or 4 years and it finally broke! I’m definitely getting one of these for it’s benefit of being more rigid. The wire hanger definitely bent a handful of tomes and caused some headache, so this seems well worth the buy! Love your videos! 🤙

You can get that tool at harbor freight too, you would just have the sand the edges and put and little belt by the handle, it's the windshield removal tool 👍

Hi AJ. For some reason I can’t send you a message on the elite fit golf website, so I’ll ask my question here……what is the best/most adequate build tape to use for gripping clubs. I’ll be re-gripping my set on the weekend for the first time (using compressed air) and want to build up the grips. Thanks for your help. And thanks for the RU-vid content. Love your videos…..I’ve learned so much. Thanks from Australia. All the best. Matt.

right on 100%

Very nice advice! I'm using an airpistol with a tube over the grip - have you tried that?

Nice video. Any tips for extra long Superstroke putter grips?

I just use a small table top compressor and blow the grip off. To prevent damage to the grip I slip over a PVC tube just a little bigger than the grip that will prevent ballooning and tear of the grip. I can remove 10 undamaged grips in 10 minutes!

Loving your Channel. I have a problem and I thought you might be the guy to solve it. I have a Super Stroke Putter Long Putter grip, the kind like Rickie Fowler is using, and I have a piece of shaft stuck inside the grip about halfway down all the way to the butt of the grip. The grip is new, so I would like to save it. Any ideas on getting the metal shaft out of the grip. Thanks in advance, keep on doing what you are doing, great information.

I've always just used a syringe 3 or 4 holes twist the grip a little to spread the solvent and the grip slides off never had a issue

Nice. What about a Jumbomax grip? The top of the grip has a solid foam tip that is very difficult to slide this tool in. Any tips for those?

I use a 20 gauge shot gun bore cleaning brush. Pulls all of the old tape out if there is any left inside of a .60 grip. 20 gauge has an outside diameter of .615. I switched to a .410 gauge for a .58 grip. It a little to small but it still works.

I purchased one of the grip removal tools ($51 in Canada). I am a novice at this. Will this work with JumboMax Ultralight grips or are they too stiff? Thank you for doing these videos for us.

Great!!!!!

If you have a stationary tub to use, place the butt end of grip in and spin it inside the drain slot while using grip tool. This way there’s no mess and the grip won’t slide out.

Exactly how I've done it for the last 40 years.

Just buy one of those tools..Amazon has them $19 for one or a box of 2 for $25 ….they work great 👍🏼👍🏼

Does this method work on cord grips? I know they don’t work with the blow off method, curious if they do with this approach.

I have used a similar method for over ten years. This method is superior to the traditional needle method in my opinion.😊

How do you feel about the fiber clear double sided tape compared to the white tape?

I prefer to use water and dish washing liquid. Makes it nice and slippery. With grip removal tool, it slides right off with no solvent wasted. The only problem I occasionally encounter is grip tape coming off inside the grip.

I still find a syringe and thinners works easy, just inject in a few spots and then twist the grip off with no tearing or stretching and no damage to the shaft.

You should give credit to Mr SGame for teaching you that method!🤣🙏

Does this method work with Winn grips? They don't "stretch" as much as rubber grips.

You prefer this method to the air compressor, or inflator?? If so, why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both methods? Thanks.

Does this method work for removing chunky putter grips?

Can the tape be reused or does it need to be replaced?

My problem is that the tip of the tool can sometimes dig down and lift sections of the tape. This has the potential for problems if the tape isn’t removed and actually removing 5he rape if you go that route. There’s an art(luck??) of using just the right amount of solvent balanced by the right speed of insertion and turning.

We do big volume. Compressed air is so much quicker. Not without some fails though.

A vets syringe is all one needs. Using the syringe, inject solvent into the hole, at the butt end of the grip. Keep the pressure on until the solvent works its way up the shaft and between the grip wall and shaft. Once the solvent fills the grip, remove it. Obviously, be gentle and take it steady.

Does the tool scratch the paint on the shaft?

Does this stretch out the grip at all?

Can you put a Mitsubishi MMT 70R parallel shaft into TM P 790 heads (2018 or 2019)?

Ok to reuse the tape in a pinch?

Does it work on all type grips?

I use a syringe, inject a little bit of mineral spirits behind the grip, twist and pull

solvent = acetone? or a different chemical?

U look like Jeff from superstore
