No mater what club you’re hitting or what shot you’re playing, the grip is our only consistent point of contact with the golf club. That means that you NEED to keep your grips in good condition.

After changing thousands of grips, here is the quickest, cheapest and cleanest way to change regrip your golf clubs from home.

Enjoy and play well,
Jon

No matter what shot you’re playing or what club you’re hitting, one thing always remains the same, and that’s that your connection to the club is through this bit, the grip. Which is why I can’t stand gripless, shiny old grips. Wa! The club went further than the ball. So, if yours are in need of a change, I’ve got three great hacks to get them done as quickly and cheaply as possible from home. And I don’t want to sound annoying, but if you stick around to the end, I’ve also got a word of warning on something that you might not have considered yet. And we’re going to get this done faster than it takes me to drink a cup of coffee. Now, growing up in a pro shop, I’ve changed thousands of grips over the years. And traditionally, most people are going to show you the way of doing this using tape, turpps, or maybe even an air pump. But I’m going to show you a quicker way. It might not be as traditional, but it’s cheaper, faster, and works just as well. But for this, you’re going to need three things. First of all, you’re going to need a curve blade knife. Then, you’re going to need some tape and a Sharpie. And finally, for the third hack, you need a can of hairspray. In this case, stolen from my daughter. Oh, and well, you need some grips, of course. For the grips, I just jumped on to SuperStroke Australia’s website and ordered myself some of these limited edition Revel grips. So, now for hack number one. And this happens before we actually even touch the grips. And if you’re someone that’s worried about the alignment and getting the grips on straight at the end of this process, this one’s going to be especially useful for you. And what you need to do is you need to take a piece of that masking tape that we talked about earlier. You’re going to wrap a small piece of it around the shaft just underneath where the old grip is. And if there’s some sort of marking on the grip at the moment that’s pointing down the center, pointing down the middle, just take your Sharpie pen and put a mark on that piece of the tape. Then you can do that for all of the clubs in your bag and set them aside. It’s going to help you later on. So, after you’ve marked up all of the grips with the tapes, if that’s the way you want to go, next you’re going to want to grab your knife with the curved blade on it. And technically speaking, you don’t need to use the curved blade. Any sort of blade will do, but this is just going to be a little bit easier, I find, for not damaging the shafts, especially the graphite shafts, which you’re going to want to be pretty careful that you don’t scratch them when you’re doing it. The curved knife just fits that little bit easier onto the grip. just sort of catches under the edge of the grip. And from there, you can drag it down the grip to cut away the old one. If it’s easier for you, you might find as well that just rolling up the bottom of the grip can also help make it a little bit easier to catch the knife on it. But like I said, just be careful, especially on the graphite ones. The steel shafts, not too much, but the graphite ones, you want to try and avoid scratching those shafts. So, there we go. There’s the last of the grips off. And obviously that leaves you now at this point with the old tape on the clubs. Now technically speaking, you can leave that tape on the clubs if you want to and you can regrip over it. But what I’d probably suggest is that you actually take the time to unravel the old tape off them and make sure that they’re nice and clean. Easiest way to do this is just to again use your knife, just hook into the top, catch on that bit of where the tape’s been folded into the shaft, and then just go about unpeeling them from there. Right now, we’ve got all of the tape off the shafts. Traditionally, at this point, people are going to put a layer of tape back onto the shaft, but I’m just going to say it’s a choice. Plenty of clubs these days, the grips though can come in different thicknesses. So, if it’s that point of view, a lot of people in the past would build up the thickness using the tape, but the grip will do that for you these days. It does obviously provide some extra adhesion, but all I’ll say is at this point, it’s your choice. because I played plenty of clubs that didn’t have tape on them before and I never felt like the grip was slipping. So, in the quickest, cheapest approach, it is a choice and it will obviously save you something in not putting tape on them. Now, I promised you the quickest and cheapest way of doing grips. And so, being frugal, what we’re now going to do is we’re going to grab the hairspray. We’re going to give the top end of the shaft a spray with the hairspray. You’re probably going to want a towel at this point. We can put a tea into the top end of our grip. There’s a small hole. So, we just want to put that in place there. And then we’re going to spray some of the hairspray again into the grip from there. And again, using that towel on the floor, you’re going to be able to put that over the club. And then really easily, this will then with it being wet and tacky, it will slip on into place. You can put it on the floor and position the grip where you want. Now, once the grip’s in place, this is where hack number one comes in. So, traditionally speaking, you’d line the club up, making it square, and you’d adjust the grip until you’re comfortable with it, and it doesn’t dry straight away. So, you get a little bit of time to make those adjustments. But what we did with hack number one is we put that piece of tape on it with the red line. And now we’ve got the logo. We’ve got the Superstroke logo on the grip. So, if it’s easier for you, you can actually now also use that to line up. So that’s square with the red line, square with the face, and you’ll be able to get it into position nice and easily. Make sure it’s on. Make sure it’s where you want it, and you’ll have that little bit of time before it sets into place. The other really cool thing that I’ve noticed with the uh the Superstroke grips is that it gives you a choice. So on one side, you’ve got the Superstroke logo, Revel bit at the top. You can have it that way or you can spin it around. There’s no ridges or anything in it. And there’s the little lines on the back which also help with making sure that the grips aligned, but looks like it gives you an option as to which side you prefer, whether you prefer to see things on the on the grip or whether you want it planer. Very nice. So, there we go. A brand new set of stunning looking Superstroke white revels in next to no time. Hardly any equipment and as cheap as you could ever do it. So, if you’re looking to change grips, hopefully something in this will have helped you. I did say at the start, if you watch to the end, I’d give you a little bit of a warning, and it’s a fairly simple one, and it depends where you’re at with your golf, but different grips have different weights. The Tour Velvets were 49.5 g of grip. These ones are 54 g per grip. The different weights can have an impact on how a club performs. So, it’s something just to keep in mind again depending where you’re at with your golf and and what you’re looking to do. But, I’m going to let these ones dry. Can’t wait to get them out on the course. They look awesome. Hopefully, you enjoyed the video and hopefully I’ll see you again soon.

  1. I’d never considered regripping clubs this way – thanks for this. I’m also curious how you feel about that specific grip and if you could say a couple things about it in your next video (no need for a comprehensive review.)
