The putter grip is an essential element for golfers. With studies showing that about 70 percent of golf takes place from 100 yards and in, and as much as 50 percent of strokes occur on the putting green, having a grip that you can trust is essential to holing more putts. Regripping putters is similar to replacing the grip of regular golf clubs.
Step 1
Cut the old putter grip down the middle with a razor blade.
Step 2
Peel off as much of the old grip and tape as you can. Use the blade to run under old areas of grip and tape. Most putters are steel shafted, so you won't have to worry about damaging the shaft.
Step 3
Measure the length of the new grip and mark a spot on the putter shaft, from the top of the shaft on down, where this grip will be positioned.
Step 4
Apply a new layer of two-sided tape to the shaft where your new putter grip will be placed. For a thicker grip, apply multiple layers of tape.
Step 5
Add grip solvent to the inside of the new grip and spread a generous amount of solvent on the two-sided tape.
Step 6
Slide the putter grip onto the two-sided tape. If enough solvent is placed inside the grip and on the two-sided tape, the grip should slide on easily.
Step 7
Twist the grip into position according to personal preference. Most golfers want the square side facing the putter face for consistency and accuracy, but there is no one correct way to place the grip.
Tips and Warnings
- If your grip will not slide on easily, remove it quickly and add more solvent.
- Do not let a grip sit halfway on the solvent as the solution will dry, your grip will not be fully on and you will have to restart the process, wasting a grip.
