As I pull that grip off, the workbench detaches from the wall, pulls the electrical line down the side of the garage, knocks the axe off it's hanger onto the hood of my wife's new BMW. But honey, I saved 11 bucks on that grip! :)

@darrenarbergolf Год назад

I’m not saying it comes with it’s issues. You need a good vice, that is firmly attached. But I’ve not used that method for years things have progressed or I’ve got weaker 🤣🤣. But a subscriber challenged me that I could do it the old way. Not one to try at home.

@toddwmac Год назад

@@darrenarbergolf So sorry, as I was focused on my lame attempt at humor, I completely left out my "thank you for the vid." At the moment I'm staring at a set newly regripped clubs my wife does not like (as of yesterday) and really appreciate the strategies to get them off with out dumping them in the waste bin. In appreciation.

@rickcolombo3914 2 года назад

Before using the rod just roll back the end of the grip,this helps prevent it tearing at the skinny end.

@darrenarbergolf 2 года назад

I prefer the needle and solvent. As you stated, all methods have pros and cons. I've yet to have anyone notice, or complain, about the tiny hole it creates.

Never tried that one, got a pump put not been able to prime it. There are lots of ways to get grips off. You find what works and then trust it. I might try the needle method if I can get the pump working.

@gripgarage4123 Год назад

@@darrenarbergolf I should show people how I prime mine. And how I get it back up and running all the time. My larger audience currently is TikTok. It was quite the debate over there. Everyone's go to is air. Not always feasible.

The dish soap is smart! I need to do it now

@darrenarbergolf Год назад

It’s fun to get it off, just try not to get it on the cloth. Old shaft with a tee peg in will hopefully get it back round. It takes time and a lot of care. Let us know how you do.

@lloydguenther6102 Год назад

Other ways: formed metal coat hanger, long Philips screwdriver. All need solvent. Rolling the grip off is hard and sometimes not possible. Adding butt weights means doing it the easiest way.

@jamesmc81 6 месяцев назад

Honestly the best way is to use a bike pump and raft attachment. Bit of air, bit of a twist, bit of a pull. Pops right off. No smelly chemicals. Graphite shaft friendly. I found rhe roll down method resulted in glue residue on the grip that i couldn't reuse.

@wescarper43 7 месяцев назад

Air compressor takes em right off....way faster and easier. Just put the end of the gun over the hole at the end of the grip tape pops loose and slide it right off with the air still going. I have removed tons of grips this way and re-installed them again.

@darrenarbergolf 7 месяцев назад

Lots of people have suggested this, don’t have an sir compressor myself. On the other hand most of the grips that come into the shop are not worth saving.

@Mos-Hlub 19 дней назад

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!

@darrenarbergolf 18 дней назад

Winn tend to be very soft, and can be a problem. The tools are round, I have been er had any issues with scratching. But I understand your worry

@marceldubois5073 Год назад

I remove grips by using a syringe loaded with varsol inserted on an angle near the butt of the club until the needLe gets to the shaft…….you then inject the Varsol between the shaft and the grip while working the grip around until you get to the small end of the grip…….at that point you just slip it off! Easy Peasy!

@darrenarbergolf Год назад

Yes that is another way to do it. As long as you have a way that gets it off in one piece it’s fine. As I’ve found over the years. They all have the potential to leave tape inside the grips, apart from the one I did at the end as you can pick it off. But it’s just too tough a job and the potential for disaster is quite high.

@rayCtay 4 месяца назад

What does adding the dish soap to the outside of the grip do? I'm trying to better understand how it helps remove the grip the old fashioned way, as I'm about to try this method myself!

@darrenarbergolf 4 месяца назад

It helps it slide over the grip without the washing up liquid it will just stick. It also helps it slide bs k over. When you try just take care in turning it back over, the grip cap can give way and the shaft with the tee in pokes through the hole.

@jimz6076 Год назад

Can you tell us if you meant mineral spirits and what is the brand of the grip removal tool yo used?

@darrenarbergolf Год назад

In the UK it’s called white spirit, not sure what it would be called in other countries. The removal tool is from Golf Smiths.

@nickhines1131 Год назад

Try using compressed air, bicycle pump, compressor 50 psi, raft tip . Never done this but there are videos of guys putting them on or taking them off.

@darrenarbergolf Год назад

Yes , be never tried a compressor as things have always worked the way I’m used to. Seen them on RU-vid, might give a try at some point.

@hugsnkissesnursery67 9 месяцев назад

@genioocampo8275 2 года назад

I don’t think I have the stamina do that condom technique. I prefer the grip removal tool, but it gets messy and can leave bits of tape in the grip. The air compressor is good, but if the grips are old, it can bubble if the adhesion is too strong.

@darrenarbergolf 2 года назад

It is hard work, but it was the only method I was taught when I first starting working in the pro-shop. It does help improve hand, wrist and arm strength. The grip removal tool is so much easier, never tried the compressed air as like you said I have a fear of blowing the grips. I have used a grip syringe as well which can be quite effective. Thank you for watching.

@mickholroyde7975 2 года назад

I find it easier to just blow the grips off. You don’t save every one but it’s certainly not quite as hard work. I’d not seen the 2nd technique Darren. That is just so much hard work.

@darrenarbergolf 2 года назад

Blowing the grips off is an option, and does work ok. The 2nd technique was something I used to do before the grip shoot method. It was hard work, however at the time it was the only option. Thankfully people found alternative methods which were easier.

@SpencyP92 Год назад

I bought a set of grips off someone today. He had them taken off brand new irons at golf town. But when I got home I noticed all the tape is still onside the grips. Am I still able to put these on? I didn't even think to look inside them because they are clearly brand new and he said he had them done at the golf store so I assumed they were done right.

@darrenarbergolf Год назад

They can still be used, you just have to make sure that the tape is smooth without any bumps. If the tape isn’t smooth it can prove to be an issue as these might show through the grip. Also if you have tape on the grips will play slightly bigger than standard.

@SpencyP92 Год назад

@Darren Arber Golf if they are all fairly smooth do you think it's worth trying to remove them?

@darrenarbergolf Год назад

If there are no bumps they should go on ok, but you cannot be sure what’s further up the grip. Just be aware they might be slightly bigger than standard due to the one layer of tape.

If there is any tape remaining from the old grip may soak some solvent. But the grip will have eventually contract back after being slight stretched with removal

@drewparcel1727 8 месяцев назад

I’ve tried removing grips in a few ways but the grip always seems to get screwed up. Sticking something between the shaft and grip in my experience has caused the grip to stretch out on the end and when installed on a different club ends up being loose there on the end. Having the grip like that give me the picture of sock with worn out elastic and I have ended up just cutting it off in the end
