I like to blow off old grips with air to re-use, but also like to install with solvent and double sided tape. Anyone else weird like that?Attached File Attached File Attached File Productive lunch break working from home |

Back to peeling tape That's why I install with tape and solvent, and only use air to blow them off. I don't want the grip twisting or slipping. Edit: you can blow off grips installed using double sided tape and solvent. |

I don't mess with tape, I blow on/off all my grips. I don't care about grip direction...it's not even something I look at or pay attention to. Does not affect my shots at all so I'm not sure why it matters so much to people how their grips look. Unless you use non round grips, it shouldn't really matter. |

It's not the look that is the problem, the grip literally twists and becomes bunched. Defeats the purpose of having texture on your grip. |
| I see nothing weird about your method OP. When I worked in the golf business I did it that way to hundreds of clubs every year. Blowing them off is way quicker than cutting or syringing but an old or brittle grip might not come off whole. Tape and solvent is the only way to go on installation. |
