Things You Need To Remove A Golf Grip With Air Compression

  1. Take a blunt syringe and load it up with grip solvent and inject the syringe into the butt end of the grip, or use the nozzle of the grip solvent
  2. Take an air compressor with a nozzle attachment and fire some short burst of air into the butt end of the grip and start twisting the grip
  3. Very slowly twist the grip all the way down and repeat the process to guide the solvent into the grip until it gives way first firing air into the grip

This method is the easiest method to remove golf grips, be careful not to damage the shaft during the process and be gentle with firing the air, too much air can tear the grip apart, making it unusable.

How To Remove Golf Grip With Spring-Rod

Things You Need To Remove A Golf Grip With Spring-Rod

  1. Put the golf grip upside down into the tub and insert the grip remover inside the grip and pour a little solvent in
  2. Gradually turn the club inside your hand whilst pushing down on the grip remover, if it feels it’s getting stuck add a little more solvent the key is getting the solvent down to the very bottom of the grip
  3. Once the solvent is down the club, club the club in your vise and then twist the grip off and then dump out any excess solvent into the tub
  4. For excess solvent use a hacksaw blade to clear any excess

You need more tools with this method than using air compression, but it’s more straight forward and the tools are not expensive, one reused golf grip will pay for itself.

  2. Measure double-sided tape to the same length as your grip, then put the tape on the club with about 1/2 inch excess tape over the tape and roll the tape onto the club and press the tape to the club
  3. Find the bit of the tape that comes off(at the bottom) and peel it off and then push the top down
  4. Put the shaft into the large container, pour the solvent into your new golf grip and then shake the grip so the solvent spreads and then pour the solvent onto the shaft
  5. Hold the club square, and then put the new grip into the club and then adjust the grip so it lines up straight up and down, when finished tape the butt end of the grip onto the ground
  6. Use the towel to dry off the excess

Your golf grips should be changed every 6 months to a year 6 months if you play 3-4 times a week, and live in a hot and humid climate. Once a year if you only play once a week and live in a colder climate. If any grip looks worn it should be replaced.
