Re-grip with XGRIP
Replacing your golf grips is easy if you have the right gear and a bit of time. Follow these simple steps to upgrade your grips to the all new designed XGRIP.
Cut off old grip
Remove the old grip by using a hook knife or utility blade. Cut
along the shaft. Ensure the fingers, hands and body are well clear of the blade in case you slip. Once cut, peel off the old grip and discard. If you have graphite shafts, be extra careful not to cut into the shaft.

Remove the existing tape
Removing the grip will expose the old tape underneath.
Removing the old tape is important, as having multiple layers of tape will
increase the thickness of your grip and will make it harder to slide the new
grip on. Once the old paper is removed, there will be some glue residue remaining on the shaft. We recommend removing the old glue with solvent, but this is not essential.

Apply fresh tape
Measure the length of the new XGRIP and cut a length of double-sided
club tape allowing an overhang of about 10mm (half inch) at the butt end of the shaft. Stick one long edge of the tape along the shaft. Carefully wrap the tape around the shaft trying to avoid bubbling. Remove the protective layer of the double-sided tape and fold the 10mm overhanging tape into the end of the shaft (to prevent water or dirt from entering the club shaft).

Using solvent apply new XGRIP
Block the small pin-hole at the end of the XGRIP with your
finger and pour enough solvent into the grip to coat the entire inner surface. Cover the other end and shake, to coat the inside of the grip with the solvent. Pour the excess solvent over the tape on the shaft and then slide the grip onto the club.

Align your new XGRIP
Before the solvent has evaporated and the tape glue is still slick, you have a couple of minutes to adjust the grip position & align it perfectly with the club head. Ensure the large flat section of the XGRIP is parallel with the club face. See video above for a demonstration of how to align the grip correctly. Allow the grips to set overnight before swinging the club.
