How do you remove the old grip without cutting it out?

Question

I want to replace my golf club grip. The problem is I'm keeping the old one. How do you remove it without cutting it?

Answer 1

Actually, it can be done. GolfWorks makes a pressurized grip removal device for just such a job. I've done it. You can see the product here.

Answer 2

You are asking for the impossible. You have to cut the old grip out as it is firmly glued to the shaft via a strong sticky tape. Perhaps, you could try using WD-40 solution to unfasten the glue from the internal lining of the old grip; it might just work.

Answer 3

Though materials advances have resulted in more durable, longer-lasting soft grips, grips eventually dry out, harden or are damaged and must be replaced. Replacement grips sold as do-it-yourself kits are generally inexpensive and of high quality, though custom grips that are larger, softer and/or textured differently from the everyday "wrap"-style grip are generally bought and installed by a clubsmith. Regripping previously required toxic, flammable solvents to soften and activate the adhesive, and a vise to hold the club steady while the grip was forced on, but the newest replacement kits use double-sided tape with a water-activated adhesive that is slippery when first activated, allowing easier installation. Once the adhesive cures, it creates a very Strong bond between grip and shaft and the grip is usually impossible to remove without cutting it off.

hope it helps!

good luck!!!
