Re: ShopTalk: Grip Tape

[Kermit Harson]

Graham, I find heating the old tape with a heat gun works really well.  I usually take a knife and shave off the tape all the way to the shaft, just so it is not a continuos wrap then heat and it peels off  fairly easy.  Kermit.

Gentlemen

 

I’ve been encouraged to come out of retirement and I’m now a part time resident clubmaker for a chain of five golf stores in my home city. I now do a lot of repairs and I’m enjoying the experience. However, the one job that really irks me is removing layer upon layer of grip tape particularly off graphite shafts.

 

Does anyone have some magic they perform to make this an easier and cleaner job?

 

Cheers
