Traction-X Golf Grip

Bought these for an older set of clubs I had that the grips started to deteriorate on and wouldn't be worth paying for a professional to regrip them. I never had done grips on a club but figured at this price why not try. All in all VERY easy to put them on. I bought only the tape + grips package and used mineral spirits for the solution. It took me about 1 hour to do all my clubs. My process was cut the old grips with an exacto knife lengthwise (like a hotdog bun) and then peel them off. After that, if any of the old tape was there I peeled that off. From there I took one of the white strips off the tape, put it on the club securely with about 1/4-1/2 inch above the handle. Next I took off the blue strip on the opposite side, then finally the other white half of the strip. Then I finished wrapping it around the club, and twisted it and tucked it in the top of the club. Next I put a little mineral spirits in the grip while covering the hole, maybe 0.5 oz, and then covered the other end of the grip and moved it back and forth to cover the grip in the mineral spirits. From there I dumped it out over the tape on the handle and twisted the club to get it a little wet. Next just slide the grip on and align the arrows where you want to hold the club with your hands. All in all very easy, I didn't use a vice or anything. I'd highly recommend trying it your self, if it fails you are out minimal amount of money and if it works you've saved a ton.

I couldn’t be more pleased with these Champkey midsize grips. The feel, comfort, and quality of materials are excellent—truly impressive for the price. The design is sharp, and the performance exceeded my expectations.What really stood out was the attention to detail in the packaging. It included a clear, easy-to-follow installation flyer and a surprisingly sturdy grip removal blade—much better than I expected. The grip tape included was by far the easiest I’ve ever used, and I’ve done five grip replacements myself.This purchase was a win all around. Champkey has definitely earned a spot on my go-to list for future golf gear. Even Mr. Short Game on YouTube backed up what I experienced. Thanks, Amazon!

These are solid rubber grips that feel great in my hands. This is not a difficult process and it's something that most anyone can do. Instructions would have made it much easier. A couple notes and lessons learned on the whole process:1. The description of the item is confusing and needs to be changed. The title of the product asks you to choose between two packages, but there is no option to choose. You have to read the fine print to figure that there is no option on the item you are looking at. I wasn't 100% sure I ordered the kit until it arrived because of this confusing option with no options.Solution: There should be either a drop down selection with the options "Grips/Tape Only" or "Grips/Tape and Installation Package". - OR- Create two separate listings and change the titles to match the options.2. If you don't have any tools then you should get the kit. In retrospect I wouldn't get the kit since I have a razor knife and mineral spirits (yes the liquid is mineral spirits), and I didn't use the vice adapter (held club in free hand). I needed a hook blade for removing the old grip.3. Removing old grips can be messy and tedious. Using the hook blade to cut off old grips works great, but you may have a combination of old grip, tape and adhesive to remove as well. Use a regular razor knife to carefully remove large pieces from the shaft. If you have graphite shafts like me, be careful not to cut into your shaft but scrape it at 90 degrees. To clean your old tape and adhesive off, use the mineral spirits to soften it and wipe it off with paper towels until squeaky clean. A small residue is okay since the tape is designed to work with mineral spirits.4. I really could have used detailed instructions which were not provided. I checked out a couple online videos to get the general process figured out, but wasn't sure about the 2-sided tape. Which side of the two sided sticky tape to put on the club? I found out that the white backing is stickier than the blue side of the tape, and the blue strip is supposed to be used to press the tape onto the club. ** PEEL THE WHITE BACKING OFF FIRST AND STICK IT TO YOUR CLUB, THEN USE THE CLEAR BLUE BACKING TO PRESS IT ON FIRMLY. THEN REMOVE THE BLUE BACKING LAST *** I5. Mark each club with a sharpie to align each grip identically, or use an existing label on your shaft. There is a logo and a small < on the grip that can be used for alignment.6. Installation can be a little messy as well. Get a paint tray to collect the mineral spirits as you go through this process. Make sure that the inside of the grips AND the newly installed tape are lubricated completely. First fill the grips with 1 oz of mineral spirits plugging the small hole with your finger. Then put your other finger into the other side of the grip and swish the liquid around the inside of the grip for at least 30 seconds, then let drain on the shaft/tape and into the tray. I would use a 1" paint brush to thoroughly wet the tape with the spirits now resting in the tray. If you can't get the grip installed within a minute of wetting the tape, take a couple seconds to re-apply more spirits to it because it gets tacky quickly. Try not to get the liquid on your hands because the next step requires a good grip literally.7. Showtime - putting your new grip on. You can use a vice with the tools supplied, but I opted to just hold the club in my other hand which worked fine. Getting the grip started on the shaft can be tricky and it may not seem large enough. I found that starting the grip at a 45 degree angle while pinching the grip 1/2" from the tip worked best for me. Once it's on push as far as it will go without stopping. Then hold the grip more in the middle to get it all the way on. The grip stretches when you pull it on and bounces back when you let go, so make sure it's all the way on.8. Finishing steps are to tap the end of the grip on the ground multiple times to completely seat the grip. Now recheck your alignment. You can make adjustments in the next minute or so to get it right, and then set it aside to dry.

I’ve tried a number of grips from both direct to consumer and specialized brands. I find these grips to be the most comfortable, durable and the best value. I have lots of clubs and have used both standard, +4 and mid size grips. My hands measure in between and I finally have settled on midsize. My only criticism is that the paint seems to wear off. I wish the velvet style came in all black with no logos.

Good and tacky grips. Everything you need is in the kit.
