You need to clean the old residue off with solution before putting the new tape on for best adhesion and if you don’t have a heat gun you can scrape it off with a razor blade I agree super easy I learned how to do it when I was a teenager and have never paid to get it done
Sometimes I'll just go over the existing tape. Don't worry, it's just like when you add multiple wraps…it sticks just fine. Who knows?…maybe another wrap, if you can even feel the difference, might be good for your game….
I do my own all the time, and I've started to do my mates, one took their irons to the pro shop, they come back ok but one wasn't lined up straight he's £50 lighter now, now he's asked me😊
I've been putting on grips at home for 40 years. If I want to save the old grip (which he doesn't show), I take a shim, insert it in the grip and open it a bit and pour in some Ronson lighter fluid (also cheap) and work it around so I can pull off the old grip. If it's a cheap grip, I just slice it open like he does in the video.
The slightest stretch or lack of full extension of the grip causes a noticeable change in thickness. I found the answer for perfect regularity is to lay the new grip touching the shaft. last white groove level with the end of the shaft and stick a piece of tape where it ends. Then push your new grip on to exactly that length.
you do not need to remove old tape (aka replace tape), use a air compressor and airgun tip ($5) and grips come off in 15 seconds, dip OLD tap in solvent and slide new one on. can go as fast a 1 minute.
Nope. This is best case scenario. I do this sort of stuff for a living and there are a lot of things that can and will cause you problems that could end up costing you time and money. Learn how to do it right and practice on an old club if you want, but leave it to a pro if you want it done well. We don't charge a lot to regrip clubs…
I replace the tape every other regrip. I also don’t have any fancy vices, solution, etc. wet the inside of the grip with water and a tiny drop of dawn dish soap on the end of the tape. Slides right on and never move on me.

Air compression works faster
Leave tapes on
Hope thats not a tempered shaft.
So yeah do it your self
Why you gotta throw facde at my slice bro😢
It is easy, and I did it without a vice. Just held them in my hand.

Shoot compressed air into the top of the grip and it will come right off without cutting it.
He didn't clean the shaft once he took off the tape.
Golf fitting seems like such a scam
Yes, it's very easy. i did 10 clubs in 40 with only a hook knife, grip tape, and solution

I use mid size with 3 layers of tape. My guy says it a pain in the ass.
The rib he created with the overlapping tape on the back would drive me crazy.
Just don't tell your golf buddies.
Why not use air compressor to remove them
Just cut the old tape with a utility knife peels off easier
Pity the tape you put on was shorter than the grip.
This type of grip tape isn't so hard to remove but that clear tape is a pain in the butt to get off.
Why is he attacking my slice. That is personal 😂
Done so hundreds of times. I usually used compressed air to remove the old grip which took about 2 seconds
Guess what, using an air pump is faster and not messy. And the original grip is not destroyed. Air is way better

Ha! I've regripped my own dozens of times and NEVER thought to spill out through the small hole. I feel so stupid now.
Don't forget to tap the end of the grip on the floor. To make sure it is fully on.
And your game will improve. Do your putter as well and it'll save you several strokes.
The factory tape on my 2021 tommy armours is not easy
I do this for a living. Please pay a professional. I see jacked up clubs all the time.
$50 to regrip. It costs me $56 for my whole bag. $4 a club
No cleaning the old glue residue before new masking tape? 😂
We used to wrap skinny tape in a circular pattern or a spiral pattern and use gasoline way back in the day
I always struggle to put the new grips after even pouring the silvent inside the grip and on the shaft. It always got stuck half way thru.

Me and my Son changed my old worn grips. I never thought we would achieve it, well we did. Had a good laugh too.
You don’t even need the vice grips it’s that easy

Is that a hook blade?
is that water he puts in there

omg that mac n cheese at the first second
Ive been regripping my own clubs for more than 30 years, but I still suck at playing golf.
If you're worried about 50 bucks, you shouldn't be playing golf😂
Compressed airmethod is also a way to go.

Back in the 90s, my friend worked and was taught to use a syringe with acetone, till he injected his finger , destroyed all the muscle in his finger
