In the 60s we boiled the kettle and used the steam to shrink grip collars.

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.
