TESTIMONIALS

I haven't played golf in years, so when my dad asked me to go to the driving range with him, I went. I started hitting some balls and I noticed all this black stuff was coming off on my hands. My dad said that my grips were shot, and that it would cost $150-$200 to replace all of them.

I thought that it couldn't be that difficult to do it myself, and after researching it, I decided to get the Saplize ones. I also liked that they had a video of someone replacing her grips, so I figured I would give it a try. Oh and I had no idea what size grips I needed, so I found a measuring tool online.

The hardest part of the process was getting the old grips off because they were SO old. Putting the Saplize ones on was extremely simple. Even though they come with written directions, I like videos better so I referred back to the woman replacing hers, and it worked out great.

I met my dad this morning to test them out, and he couldn't believe that I did them myself. He wants me to now replace his grips.

At first, I intended to have the golf pro change the Grips, but due to the pandemic issues, they were not (for whatever reason) offering the service. So I shopped online in a variety of golf sites, finally settling on the Saplize grips. The kit including my new grips arrived quickly and was packaged with more than enough materials plus the right tools.

I was a bit unsure of exactly how I would do the installation. There are quite a few YouTube videos promoting a number of different methods of grip to installation. To me, the most useful and reliable video was done by the Saplize rep. Another video recommended using a metal paint roller tray to collect and reuse the excess solvent by dripping it over the tapped club shaft. This worked nicely as I found that by using a lot of solvent and my bench vice to hold the rubber club gripper, I was able to easily slip the grips onto the club shafts and align them without making a huge mess. If you have never done this before, make sure to watch several different videos of how to do it! For example, one video suggested using your finger to run the solvent down the bottom side of the taped club shaft to make sure the tape was completely lubricated. This worked like a charm!

This was absolutely the best experience I have had with re-gripping clubs. The trick is in proper preparation. Thoroughly cleaning off the old grip tape is the single hardest and most time-consuming part of the task. (I used brake cleaner and shop towels and wiped it all away, as I had 10 clubs with graphite shafts that needed new grips and scraping just wasn't going to be an option). Set yourself up to recover the "wasted" grip solvent and make sure to spray enough on and spread enough inside each grip, and on they go. Anyone having a hard time getting the grips on is not using enough solvent. What you catch in a bin that is overspray and comes out of the grip when you run it over the shaft as shown in the video can be returned to the solvent bottle and reused another time. The tape that came with this set became uber slippery for installation, but super tacky when dry to secure the grips. Thanks for a great product and instructions at a very good price.

I recently took golf back up again, and found that my grips had dry rotted. As I was unsure how much golf I was going to play I did not want to spend over $100 on re-gripping clubs. After reading the reviews and watching the video I decided to give them a try. It definitely helps to have a vice to mount your clubs, but after the first couple of clubs the process became quite easy. My husband who is an avid golfer watched my progress and was impressed with the installation and the final product. I have been using my clubs with the new grips and am every pleased with the feel!
