I have had about 98% success with the winn wraps by simply wrapping the grip loosely with a cut to fit tube of cloth back sand paper(grit down) then squeezing in a fair amount of solvent through the vent hole, then applying low air pressure and blowing it off. Wrap too loose and you will pop the grip like a balloon. Wrap too tight and the grip wont expand enough. Turn the club so the head points straight up and shake it around to get the solvent all around the inside of the grip. When the solvent sprays out the small end of the grip, give it a light back and forth twist and pull it off.

It takes less than 30 sec to remove a grip without using any solvent. That I use to clean the tape off. I have not been as lucky as Arnie with the Wynn grips but I will try the flat steel tool. tflan wrote: > Flat blade slid under the grip, lubricate with solvent.
