In the 60s we boiled the kettle and used the steam to shrink grip collars.
i don’t recall much from 68-73 :-)
Yogi: did you work for Wilson
I asked Jim, our resident history expert on such things and he said he doesn’t remember the name, but he did use one. Even drew me a picture of what it looked like. He thinks it may have come from Golf Pride, but can’t be for sure. We will dig a little into our archives and see if we can find anything. We have a lot of books and catalogs that go way back.

Thanks Britt
By any chance did Jim work for Wilson
He never worked for Wilson. He did work for Cobra a long time ago.

i don’t recall the name of the element, but I get the same effect using shrink tube and a heat gun.
