How to Replace Your Golf Grips (Step-by-Step) 

Regripping your clubs at home is straightforward and cost-effective. With the right tools, most golfers can regrip a full set in under an hour.

What You’ll Need: 

Hook blade or utility knife (hook blade recommended to avoid shaft damage)

  • Grip tape (double-sided)
  • Grip solvent (or mineral spirits)
  • New grips
  • Towel
  • Vise with rubber shaft clamp (recommended)

Step 1: Remove the Old Grip

Secure the club in a vise with a rubber clamp. Cut the old grip lengthwise using a hook blade and peel it off. Remove all old tape from the shaft.

Step 2: Apply New Grip Tape

Apply double-sided grip tape along the shaft, stopping about ½ inch from the end. Tuck excess tape into the shaft opening.

Step 3: Activate with Solvent

Pour grip solvent inside the new grip, cover the hole, and shake to coat the interior. Pour the excess solvent over the taped shaft.

Step 4: Install the Grip

Quickly slide the grip onto the shaft in one smooth motion. Align any logos or patterns immediately before the solvent begins to set.

Step 5: Let It Set

Allow grips to dry for at least 1–2 hours before light handling and overnight (8–12 hours) before play.
