How To Regrip Golf Clubs Without A Vice

Golfing requires the player to have a club, of course. There are many high-quality clubs to choose from on the market today that express both personality and secure aerodynamic effectiveness.

However, even the best quality clubs will experience wear and tear like any other sports accessory.

This includes the grip on a golf club which is most suspectable to damage and deterioration due to it being a frequently used part.

When a player finds that their club needs to be regripped due to age or an accident, there are easy ways to fix the problem. Even though a vice is typically the go-to instrument for regripping the club, there are ways around this if a vice is not available.

Here are ways to regrip golf clubs without a vice:

1. Use a solvent.

If there is no vice available (such as if they're too expensive), solvents come in handy when removing the grip to put in a new one.

The vice is typically used to hold the club in place while the grip is being removed, but the solvent can help loosen the grip without the need for a vice to hold the rod of the club steady.

Here are a few solvents people can find in their own homes:

  • Water
  • Paint Thinner
  • Rubber Cement
  • Mineral Spirits
  • WD-40

2. Use an air compressor.

If none of the above items are available, stick the needle of the compressor beneath the grip to loosen it up and wiggle it off!

3. Use the kitchen sink as a "clamp".

The kitchen sink can hold the pole of the club steady while the hands work the grip free.

After all of this has been done, the grip is free and ready to be replaced!

As you can see, there are many alternative methods to using a vice to regrip. With a little creativity, you should be able to easily pull it off.
