🏌️ Regripping at Home – How to Replace Your Golf Grips Easily Yourself
A new grip – a better feel for the game! If your golf grips feel slippery, hard or smooth, it's time to replace them. The good news: you can easily do it yourself at home – without a workshop or expensive service. All you need are the right materials, a bit of preparation and this step-by-step guide.
✅ Why You Should Replace Your Golf Grips Regularly
Worn-out grips have a bigger impact on your game than you might think. The grip is your only point of contact with the club. If it’s in poor condition, you need more pressure to hold it – and that means less control and more inconsistency.
👉 Experts recommend: Change your grips once per season or every 40 rounds. If you play frequently, sweat a lot or play in the rain, it may be necessary even sooner.
🛠️ What You Need for Regripping
With the right equipment, changing grips is quick and easy. Here's what you’ll need:
- New golf grips (e.g. Tour Velvet, Multicompound, Wrap-style)
- Double-sided grip tape
- Brampton Grip Tape Activator (odorless & fast-drying solvent)
- A utility knife or grip remover
- Optional: a vise with a shaft clamp
- Cloth or paper towel for cleaning
💡 Tip: You can find all items in the shop at Tesi-Golf.de.
🔧 Step-by-Step: How to Replace Your Golf Grip
1. Carefully remove the old grip
Use a sharp knife to cut the grip lengthwise and peel it off. Be careful with graphite shafts – don’t damage the shaft!
2. Remove the old grip tape
Spray the old tape with the Brampton Activator. Let it sit for a moment, then wipe it off with a cloth. The shaft should now be clean and ready for new tape.
3. Apply new grip tape
Apply the double-sided tape along the shaft. Leave a bit of excess tape and fold it into the shaft opening to create a sealed base.
4. Apply solvent
Generously spray both the tape and the inside of the new grip with Brampton Solvent. This ensures the grip slides easily onto the shaft.
5. Install and align the new grip
Quickly slide the grip onto the shaft until fully seated. Align it immediately – the solvent evaporates fast. Let the grip sit for at least 30 minutes – ideally 24 hours before use.
