Golf Pride® – #1 Grip on Tour®

Michael Breed:

First, make sure you take all the tape off of that club shaft. Next get some fresh tape, you're gonna put the fresh tape on so it looks like that. Then what you're gonna do is you're gonna put it in a vice so that the leading edge of the golf club is perpendicular to the ground.

Then, this is important, gotta have a grip, make sure that it's the MCC ALIGN technology and when you put the tape and by the way it's two way tape that's on this. You make sure that you have the tape going far enough down the shaft to be able to hold that grip in place and measure out where you think that grip is going to go because we don't want that thing to stretch out.

So I've got about, I'm gonna say a half an inch before that first step down. You put your finger over this hole right here so that when you pour the solvent in there that it stays in there. You're gonna pour that in there, you wanna make sure that you're getting enough solvent in there so that when you start to get that solvent spread out through the grip that it goes on nice and easy and then you put your hand over that or finger over that and start to do a little shimmy. Get it up and down that grip.

Then what we're gonna do is we're gonna get a little solvent, we're gonna put a little solvent on here like this. So we go down like that and then we're gonna take this excess solvent that we have and we're gonna do the exact same thing. We're gonna let that kinda pour out on the grip. Then you're gonna pinch this, put it in that way and then it slides right on just like that.

Okay so we're gonna get that towel right there because you brought a towel because you're smart and we gotta put that down there. Don't need that any more and now what we're gonna do is we're gonna make sure the alignment ticks are right here at the top of the grip and in the middle and at the bottom, and the beauty of it is that those alignment ticks are directly above the align technology which is right underneath this raised ridge. So I know when I have those in align parallel to or right on that leading edge, that I've got the align technology exactly where I want so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna check that again, spin that over and I'm gonna look at this and you can see that align technology is exactly where I want it.

Now I'm gonna test that there. That feels pretty good and then finally what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna tap that into the ground just like that between the butt end of that and that is how you're gonna re grip a golf club with the align technology from Golf Pride.

Michael Breed:

Here's how this works. You have the club, you have your knife, knife has a blade. The blade that I have has a hook on it, okay? What you're gonna do is you're gonna hold this thing, you're gonna push away from you. So you're gonna move this through the grip just like this, and slice that grip off just like that. When you do that, grip comes off just like that.

Now there's some tape. Pull out our heat gun, and then with this we're just gonna heat this up. I'm not gonna heat it up, but you heat it up just like that. You now have a club that is ready to commence the regripping process.

So we put this in the vice. Now the key to this is when you put this in the vice you have to pay attention to the club head. I want that to be perpendicular to the ground. Now we gotta measure up the tape that we're gonna use. So you pull that out just like this, measure that up, and what I want to is I want to give myself just about a half an inch. We hook it up like that. Now that goes down.

Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna give ourselves just a little bit of room on the end, just like that. And before I make this wrap all the way around, I'm gonna make sure there's no tape showing at the end of the grip. So you get that like that, and then we wrap this around just like that, always working up that club shaft like that.

Now what's gonna happen here is I'm gonna have a little bit of tape left over. That's what you want. We're gonna twist this like this and then cover the back of that like that.

Now we're getting close. Now it's solvent time. This is where your bib is gonna come in really handy and also our towel. So you got a little hole right there in the grip. So we're gonna make sure that we take our finger and put it over that hole, because what we want to do is we want to put solvent into the grip. And I'm a big fan of using more than less. So we squeeze that in there just like that. Then I'm gonna just put a little on here just like that, so we get that a little bit. Then we're gonna shake this up. Dancing is optional. Kinda get into a little Twist if you want to, no big deal. This is your gripping and nobody's around you, okay?

Then after that what you do is you let this just kinda pour out of the butt end of the grip. And I like to try to do it so I can get there twice. Then we're gonna pinch the mouth, and when we pinch that mouth ... Pinch the mouth, and now we're going in. Slide it up just like that. Now we've got that grip on there.

Now we gotta check and make sure of two things. One, that we haven't stretched it out. And that's pretty good. It's only a little bit shy, and you're gonna see how I'm gonna get that done.

Then, got our towel, we're gonna regrip that. The bib comes in handy in case that stuff comes out and hits you. You don't want to mess up your nice clothes. That's why you have a bib. Then when you're done with this, what you like to do is put this down on the ground and just verify that these dots are all in a line just like that. It feels good. And now what I like to do is just hit that on the bottom and make sure that that is firmly into that grip.

Now you're gonna check again and make sure, probably have about ... I'm gonna say you got about ten minutes before that's gonna dry. That's gonna depend on the solvent.

Now make sure that's clean. Then we're gonna verify. Look at that. Look at what Daddy did right there. It's just a little bit longer; that will tend to happen. You want to see that? Let me just show you that again. You see that right there? That's just a little bit longer, so that was really well done. Your hands are gonna be really happy because now we've got a grip that's on there right. Give it ten minutes to dry, and you're gonna be all set.

That's how you're gonna regrip a club.

Speaker 1:

Your only connection to the club is your hands and Golf Pride obsesses over them. That's why Golf Pride developed ALIGN Technology. Its revolutionary raised ridge fits hand contours, guiding fingers for consistent hand placement and improved club face awareness. Improve consistency and keep your club face square throughout the swing and at impact. Play Align Technology. Now available on the Tour's most popular grip models. Grip confidence. Grip Golf Pride.

Speaker 1:

The ALIGN ... You know where it is every time. So you grip it the same every time.

Speaker 2:

When you put your hands on a Tour Velvet, it just feels right.

Speaker 3:

You can hold it and feel like, "Hey, I've got it in my hands." It's soft, it's comfortable.

Speaker 4:

I know it's not possible for me to grip the club the same way every time, so if there's something that can help me do that, I'm all for it.

Speaker 5:

It's nice to think about something which you have more control over, because you can feel it in your hands throughout the whole duration of your swing. As opposed to just having a movement and hoping that it's in the right position. I just think the reminder’s another perfect variable that just helps you to always know where the club is at all times.

Speaker 6:

Just seems easier. I don't have to think about it as much of like, "All right, where is it at?"

Speaker 7:

Sometimes I struggle and kind of set in a phase where it's open or shut. But these I automatically just set and I just know is it's square and I can swing with confidence.

Speaker 8:

I can literally be blindfolded, put my hands on the grip and square the clubface.

Speaker 5:

It helps you get a club in your fingertips consistently.

Speaker 9:

When I set up I know it's squared because everything's lined up and at the top where I can feel the pressure in my fingers and I know it's square up top, too, and I can get a straight ball.

Speaker 3:

It's a no-brainer to be able to line the club up to your target. It's much easier for the average amateur to just, "Hey, let's put it across your fingers and just close the fingers." The ALIGN Technology makes it that much easier.

Speaker 5:

It helps me to really be able to feel where the clubface is at all times.

Speaker 10:

You know, like when you grip it, it's a nice checkpoint because I can definitely feel where it needs to be.

Speaker 11:

It feels like it's very stable in the hand because of that ridge.

Speaker 2:

It's a very consistent feel. Just lock it in and get it going.

Speaker 8:

Absolutely elevates my expectation of what a grip is.

Speaker 12:

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't play with ALIGN technology.

Speaker 5:

Now I've tried it, I could use it. I could put them on today and play a tournament tomorrow for sure.
