Golf grip tape for replacing golf club grips

Golf grip tape for secure grip installation

Golf grip tape is purpose-made double-sided tape fitted between the shaft and a new golf grip. Its adhesive holds the grip in position after installation. During fitting, suitable solvent allows the grip to slide temporarily over the tape. Once the solvent has evaporated and the installation has cured, use the club in accordance with the product instructions.

Which grip tape should you use for golf clubs?

Choose tape that is specifically intended for golf grip installation. It is available in rolls and pre-cut strips. A roll is practical when regripping several clubs or complete sets, while strips are convenient for a smaller job and require less cutting.

Check the width, length, quantity and stated shaft compatibility. The double-sided golf club grip tape offered by Golfdiscountstore is described on its product page as suitable for both graphite and steel shafts. Always verify the details of the exact product before use.

What do you need to replace a golf grip?

Traditional grip replacement normally requires:

• a new golf grip;

• double-sided golf grip tape;

• suitable grip solvent;

• a shaft holder and vice;

• a safe cutting tool to remove the old grip;

• a cloth or tray for excess solvent.

Choose a complete regripping kit if you need the main supplies together. Individual grip tape is a practical option when you only need to replenish the tape.

How to apply golf grip tape

First remove the old grip and remaining adhesive. Clean and dry the installation area of the shaft. Apply the new tape smoothly, avoiding unwanted creases. Finish the tape at the butt end as directed, wet the tape and inside of the grip with suitable solvent, and slide the grip promptly into the correct alignment.

Follow the instructions supplied with the tape, grip and solvent. Allow sufficient drying time before playing; the required time varies by product and conditions.

Working safely with steel and graphite shafts

Take particular care when removing old grips. Incorrect use of a blade can damage a graphite shaft and cause injury. Always cut away from your body and use a tool suitable for the shaft. If you are unsure about installation or club condition, have the grip replaced professionally.

Frequently asked questions about golf grip tape

Is golf grip tape double-sided?

Yes. Tape used for traditional golf grip installation is double-sided. One side adheres to the shaft and the other to the inside of the grip after the solvent has evaporated.

Can golf grip tape be used on a graphite shaft?

Grip tape stated as compatible can be used on graphite shafts. Check the product details and take particular care when removing the old grip and tape, as a blade can damage graphite.

Do I need solvent with golf grip tape?

Traditional installation with double-sided grip tape normally requires suitable grip solvent so the new grip can slide over the tape. Follow the instructions for the chosen tape and grip.

How much grip tape do I need?

This depends on the number of clubs, the length used per club and whether more than one tape layer is applied. Calculate the amount from the product dimensions and allow a small margin for cutting.

Can I use ordinary household double-sided tape?

Use tape specifically designed for golf grips. Its adhesive, dimensions and compatibility with suitable solvent are intended for this application.

How long should a new golf grip dry?

Drying or curing time depends on the tape, solvent, temperature and installation method. Follow the product instructions and do not play until the grip is secure.
