I bought a used sandwedge last year and the grip on it was terribly slick. A couple years ago I reshafted and gripped some clubs of mine...waste of money for those ****py heads. Anyway...
So I have these good grips on these clubs that are just sitting there, not being used. Read a few things on using an aircompressor to change grips so I thought I'd give it a try.
I was very suprised at how easy this was.
The first burst of air I gave it, I realized why you should use a tube over the grip. Very suprised at how elastic those things are, almost ruined the grip. With a tube, not a problem.
Here's what I did.
Needed:
Air compressor with 70-90psi.
Small inflatables attachment for air compressor.
Tube to put over grip to prevent excessive stretching.
Steps Removal:
Put tube over grip.
Put inflatable attachment in drain hole of grip.
Apply air. I used short bursts to keep damage to the grip at a minimum.
Grip will pop loose. Sometimes with a loud pop. Then while applying air slide grip off of club.
Steps Installation.
No need for tube on this part.
Get grip started on club. Quarter to half inch is fine.
Apply air to grip and push on to club. Should slide on very easy.
To align grip, apply more air and twist.
I'm sure some of the people that do this all the time have a little better way to do it, but I just couldn't find step by step instructions anywhere.

I've posted instructions here a couple times... use the search feature.
