Step 2Remove the old grips
I have graphite shafts, so I had to be extra careful not to gouge them when cutting off the old grips.
If you have steel shafts you can pretty much go wild.
Here are the two techniques I tried.
1. Cut two slits the length of the grips, about half an inch apart, and try to peel back the piece in between. Then open the remaining piece like a book.
2. Cut the end off, and work down from the top with the same technique.
The biggest frustration is that older grips tend to tear easily, this is where the blunt scraper comes in, helping to ease the grip off of the old adhesive without tearing it.
You could try to use Goof Off, or a similar solvent to help, but make sure that it is completely cleaned off before attempting to put the new ones on.
