What works? Regripping golf clubs with different liquids

What liquids can you use when installing golf grips? I try Acetone, water, mineral spirits, and grip solvent. What are the pros and cons of each? Which ones work and which ones don’t? Have we all been wasting money on grip solvent? I do the experiment so you don’t have to!

Fun video. The poking of the tape at the end of the grip... why, wouldn't that just make it easier for debree to come into the shaft overtime, not a big concern but I've just never done that, so I am curious why you would do it?
@vanquishgolfworks
@vanquishgolfworks Год назад
Thanks Greg! I've been building golf clubs for a long time and neve seen "debris" collect in a golf shaft from having a whole at the end of the grip. I usually just poke it to help get some of the excess solvent out after you've put the grip on. Once you've poked it, you can flip it upside down and tap the butt cap on something a few times to get as much solvent out as possible. That will just make the grips dry a little quicker.

Would have liked to see you try alcohol since it is readily available. Suspect results would have been similar to water, but you never know. I have been using the air method now for about 6 months, and that is my preferred method for my own clubs. You have to pay more attention to the grip core size and shaft diameter using air. A .600" core grip could end up loose if installed on a .580" shaft without adding additional layers of tape.

Alcohol is a good idea but I think it would work just like water, as you said. Good to know about the extra tape for air.

HF-100 is totally awesome and you only need a light mist from a pump sprayer. It's like cologne. Just do a few sprays on the taped shaft over your bathroom sink and the grips slide on super easy. I did all mine by hand, no stupid vice or fancy drip tray. If you're dripping solvent you've used way too much. The little bottle that came with my grips is probably enough to last me the next decade. It's only like a few bucks shipped--- all these other inferior solvents and your dish soap are way more expensive.

Here's what I learned in the past; Acetone is used to REMOVE THE TAPE, there is a water based grip tape that I have used and work very well, the only cost for using air is the purchase of an air compressor and the electricity to operate it, it isn't FREE.
@vanquishgolfworks

It isn't free but comparatively on a grip to grip basis the cost is much lower and much less of a hassle.

I misspoke. Why leave one dry side on the double sided tape?
@vanquishgolfworks
@vanquishgolfworks Год назад
Typically double sided tape is used as the "top" layer when installing a grip using solvent. You wrap that tape all the way around the shaft like I did in the video. Then, no matter what, you always cover the entire piece of tape with the solvent and wet everything including the inside of the grip. If installing with air then you can use one sided tape or masking tape. Then you don't have to wet anything. Does that answer your question?

@vanquishgolfworks

Just use single sided tape when installing it with air. The grip stays on just fine without the tape helping it "stick". Using double sided tape would make it really tricky to install without some kind of lubrication.
