I have install several superstroke putter grips and it is always a struggle. They go half way on and from there you have to twist them while forcing them the rest of the way. It is the worst installation of a grip I have ever experienced. I would like to know if someone has a better technique which would make this an easier job?
3 key factors: first, the club must be secured in an appropriate vise. Second, you must use plenty of solvent. These two keys have already been shared, but there is a third key, namely, the kind of solvent you use. Some solvents start to work so quickly as to not give you more than a second to put the grip on. Most clubmakers prefer Brampton for this reason. Here’s the link for the solvent that dries very fast, maybe too fast.

Check the reviews and then check the kind of solvent you’re using. With a super fast drying solvent, no grip goes on easily! (By the way, the advantage to the super fast drying solvent is that the clubs are ready to play almost immediately, although there isn’t a long wait when using the other kinds.) Hope this help!

I agree with what That Bob Guy says, with a special emphasis on “LOTS of SOLVENT.” I squirt the solvent into the grip, shake it around, pour it over the grip tape on the shaft, catch the solvent, then do it again, 2 or 3 times. I’ve learned this through trial and error (and reading the above tip on forums like this one!), but now that you know this, I don’t think you’ll have too much trouble…..good luck!
