Using Air to Regrip Golf Clubs - EASY!

[@3PuttBogey]

Have you switched to air?

[@vincebrown5158]

Yes…bought a special air gun to install. I have installed Lamkin and Winn grips with air, no tape or solvent. There is some shifting that can be adjusted with another shot of air

[@3PuttBogey]

@@vincebrown5158 thanks for the comment bud...i do have a few winn grips laying around to try. What was the tool you purchased?

[@rorygillmore6555]

Says at the start no more solvent.. then proceeds to use solvent... 😅

[@3PuttBogey]

You can use spit if you dont want to go in dry.

[@lazy_dad]

i use an air compressor that is meant to fill car tires or air mattresses and it works amazing! when i am taking grips off, or putting on any expensive ones, i always use a sleeve of hard cardboard poster tube (like a thicker paper towel roll) to slide over the grips to prevent them from exploding. i have even put on some winn grips before i knew that you weren't meant to be able to do it that way! thanks for the great video.

[@3PuttBogey]

Yeah, the occasional explosion can make you jump. That's why I switched to a nozzle I can control instead of an on/off switch that's usually nowhere near you when you start to see that bubble forming! I've never had any success with winn grips, but that doesn't mean its not possible! Thanks for watching.

[@husbandandwifegaming_9991]

Does this work on putter grips?

[@billybobtimm1787]

I have a piece of PVC pipe that I cut in half and tape around it while trying to remove grips (Thanks Mobile Clubmaker). Make sure tou use some substantial tape when doing this (ie duct tape). Masking tape will burst along with the grip.

[@3PuttBogey]

@@husbandandwifegaming_9991 no it won't.

[@3PuttBogey]

@@billybobtimm1787 i feel like id rather just have rubber shrapnel coming at me instead of rubber and pvc. Just wear leather gloves or decrease the psi outputin your machine...its not that bad if you get popped on.

[@mugotyou]

Appreciate your simple, yet informative video!! I was just wondering where I might find the "build-up" masking tape, which you reference, in your video??? Once again, thanks!!!

[@3PuttBogey]

Golfworks... but most hardware supply stores sell it or good old Amazon

[@mugotyou]

@@3PuttBogey Much appreciated, thanks!!!

[@dsarnold75]

Love your video. Thank you! I never thought of using air. I regripped my clubs for the first time. I tried the traditional way. I used double sided tape. Lube the grip inside, lubed the tape then slipped the grip on. However it was a pain to get the grip on. Not as easy as some videos showed. I ended up doing the rest of the clubs like this… Still using double sided tape but I didn’t take the protective layer of 2nd side of tape off. Lube the grip. Lube the tape and slide the grip on. So much easier to put on. Two questions thought! 1. Is it OK to do it this way? The grips don’t feel like they will come off. 2. I may have stretched the grip a bit longer than the original grip. Is that OK too?

[@3PuttBogey]

Yes it should work. From a cost perspective its a little more expensive using the double sided tape, but if that's what you have, it will work fine. I would try to get them to their normal length, just because as you stretch it, you're making the grip thinner. I've found just holding the end and shooting a little air in there brings them back to their natural length. Or use an unused grip as a guide. Thanks for sharing, glad it helped.

[@TSOSGERBY]

Has anyone tried to put on JMX Ultralite grips using compressed air? If so, how much pressure do you set it to?

[@3PuttBogey]

They are a 2 piece grip. Not really recommended for compressed air installation. If you want to try 1, you can, but most likely will get ruined. Id start at 30psi and work up 5psi but def don't exceed 50psi. Chances of ruining them are pretty high.

[@k.b.3832]

What brand is that build up tape?? Thx

[@3PuttBogey]

I got it on golfworks, but you can find it at you hardware supply store.

[@Haze1552]

I don’t see why you say the solvent goes away when you still use the solvent?

[@3PuttBogey]

You can use water, soap anything to just get it started. You don't need to, but it makes it a tad easier. But feel free to do it dry.

[@sttt5126]

What pressure do you have your compressor set to?

[@3PuttBogey]

anywhere from 65-75psi

[@donmcfaul5181]

Can you use this method for Isomic grips?

[@3PuttBogey]

Iomic? Yes. As long as they are a one piece grip, this process will work on any grip.

[@donmcfaul5181]

@@3PuttBogey dang spell check, that’s what I meant. 1 piece, rubber.

[@3PuttBogey]

Yeah youll be fine, just keep the PSI under 70. Dont want to blow one out.

[@vincebrown5158]

I get the tape, why the solvent?

[@3PuttBogey]

You don't need it, but it helps just a little to reduce the squeaking.

[@Norstein49370]

Just dip tip of the grip in solvent, for easy entry. Good for rubber grips, not Winn grips. 50 psi.

[@3PuttBogey]

shouldn't really be using this method with winn grips anyway. too much chance of messing up the internal piece.

[@Norstein49370]

@@3PuttBogey it’s not something I recommend, even if I’ve installed, successfully, quite a few Winn grips using air.

[@billybobtimm1787]

I've been using air and regular masking tape with this method for a while now (I got the same compressor in the video from Menards). I have always been wary of trying it with the Winn grips, but I was wondering how it would work with the JumboMaxx Ultralite grips. Would it be the same issue? All the grips I've tried it with so far have worked great. Where can I get the build-up tape you use?

[@3PuttBogey]

It should work with the jumbo grips/ultralight... the buildup tape is from golfworks.com its a little pricey compared to masking tape, but has a much better thickness and withstands multiple installations

[@dsteele5530]

I just put Jumbomax Large on my clubs using air. Super fast and easy

[@3PuttBogey]

Awesome!

[@TSOSGERBY]

@@dsteele5530 How much pressure did you use to install the Jumbomax Ultralite grips? Thank you.

[@dsteele5530]

@@TSOSGERBY it was around 60 psi. Pops right off

[@migratorygame7400]

Is the solvent, mineral spirits? And can you use water in place of solvent?

[@3PuttBogey]

Yes! Or water with a couple drops of dawn dish soap. Don't need a lot, just to get it on the butt end of the shaft.

[@migratorygame7400]

@@3PuttBogey thank you! I already put them on, I had to use air.

[@3PuttBogey]

@@migratorygame7400 air is the best way...easy to swap out and change.

[@maxsmart8954]

Does the air removal method work with grips that are on traditionally. Two sided tape and solvent??

[@migratorygame7400]

@maxsmart8954 I had to cut my old grips off, I used double side tape and new grips. The air worked with soap and water to put the new grips on, but it only worked because I folded the tape over the end of the shafts a little to cover the hole in the shafts. I used a needle for a ball at the end of the new grip, and they went right on.

[@popitgood3456]

You can do this without any solvent. I’ve never used any

[@3PuttBogey]

Correct, I think it just makes it a touch easier and let's you adjust the grip length properly.

[@cptmuzz4085]

Wait wot... You proclaimed to not use tape or solvent and then precede to use tape and solvent.

[@3PuttBogey]

I used regular tape, not double sided. And the little bit of solvent is optional to make it a little easier. If you tried it before making your comment, you'd understand why.

[@PersnameLastname]

He said NO SOLVENT. Uses a little bit of solvent lol

[@3PuttBogey]

its not necessary, but a little lube is always good...you can always spit on it.

[@jimmypricer9502]

I dipped the end of the grip in a shallow saucer of water for lube and used a bicycle pump and it worked great. NO compressor NO Solvent@@3PuttBogey

[@3PuttBogey]

nice

[@StevenCampbell-ci8rd]

I thought you said you didn’t need the oil lmmfao. But then use it wtf🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@3PuttBogey]

You don't really need it, but I never go in dry.

[@MrFuchew]

I have no idea why you're putting tape on them and I don't think you know either

[@3PuttBogey]

To build up the grip. If you just put out on the shaft bare, the grip will be slightly too big and it will move around. So yeah, actually I 100% know why.
