Re: Changing grips, graphite shafts.

Carl; You do it the same way, You set the pressure at around 60 pounds, dip about an inch of the grip in some solvent so you can slide it on the shaft a little. Then you blow air inside the grip so it expands enough to slide all the way on. If you line up the grip the way you want it, you should get the grip on pretty straight. If not, just blow air in again and twist the grip as needed. One last tip. I use a piece of white PVC tubing over the grip so as not to BLOW UP the grip too much. Too much pressure and cause the grip to blow up like a balloon and ruin it. The PVC tubing will prevent this, and make removal and installation much easier and safer. For removing a grip put on with grip tape, you might need to use all the pressure your compressor will put out, and this is where the PVC tubiing come in real handy.
