Now that we have air compressor attachments and grip design that allows installation without tape or solution -- is it still necessary to wrap them, wet them, and let them dry? Yes I know it is more secure, but I am wondering if it is truly needed, or just something continued for habits sake. I used PURE until they went out of business. I want to know what made their grips so different from Golf Pride that no adhesive was needed.

Call me a traditionalist, but I’m going to keep using the two sided tape. I customize my wraps too much to feel like I’d get them not to twist or slip otherwise.

Perrino's Shoe Glue and a good masking tape. Gives you time to adjust the new grip for line up, asthetics, and you can use the club 10 minutes after you finish.

I use painters tape but don’t need any solvent. I’ve never had problems and you can use the club immediately

you mean the blue tape used for trim lines, not the double-sided with stick-em? I will certainly try that.

I misspoke. I use the wide masking tape not painters tape, but it is not double sided. I’m sure blue painters tape would work just as well. You can use a little mineral spirit as lube if you need, but don’t put much as it can make the tape slimy and the grips will slip.

I have Pure on my clubs and no tape. My grips aren’t lined up anymore. Obvious slippage. I’m going to go back to tape.
