I have recently regripped all my steel-shafted clubs, and I am going to regrip my graphite-shafted clubs next.

My question: How do I remove the old grips, and grip-tape, without damaging the graphite shafts?

Also, if I can get the grips off while leaving the original grip-tape in tact, would it be feasible to leave the original grip-tape on and re-activate it with grip-solvent? I would guess that this is a bad idea, but I am interested what the experts have to say about that.
