Premium Grip Tape (2″ x 10 Yards)

Premium Grip Tape (2″ x 10 Yards)

Install new grips with confidence using Premium Grip Tape. Professional-grade, double-sided tape designed specifically for golf grip installation. The high-tack adhesive activates with grip solvent, creating a permanent bond that prevents twisting and slipping. 2 inches wide by 10 yards long — enough for 30-40 standard grips.

Product Description | Why Grip Tape Quality Matters

The tape under your grip is what keeps the grip from twisting during your swing. Low-quality tape can fail, causing the grip to slip or rotate — a frustrating and dangerous experience. Our premium grip tape uses high-tack adhesive that bonds permanently to both shaft and grip rubber.

What makes our tape different? The 2-inch width covers the entire gripping area of any standard shaft. The cloth backing is tear-resistant during installation, preventing frustrating rips and folds. The adhesive is solvent-activated, allowing you to adjust the grip position before the bond sets.

Unlike bargain tape that loses adhesion over time, our tape maintains bond strength indefinitely. The adhesive won’t dry out or crack, even in extreme temperatures.

Who Needs Grip Tape?

Grip tape is essential for anyone who:

– Installs new grips on existing clubs
– Builds custom clubs from components
– Changes grip sizes (standard to midsize, etc.)
– Regrips clubs as regular maintenance
– Offers professional club repair services

One 10-yard roll covers 30-40 standard grips (assuming one wrap per shaft). For larger grips or double wraps, coverage decreases accordingly.

What’s Included

Your order includes one roll of grip tape:

– 2 inches wide x 10 yards long
– Double-sided adhesive
– Solvent-activated (not pressure-sensitive)
– Cloth backing (tear-resistant)
– Protective liner (removable)

How to Install Grip Tape

Step-by-step tape application:

1. **Prepare shaft**: Clean shaft butt with acetone, removing old tape residue and contaminants.
2. **Cut tape**: Measure length from shaft butt to where grip ends (typically 0.5″ shorter than grip).
3. **Remove liner**: Peel protective liner from tape.
4. **Apply tape**: Starting at shaft butt, wrap tape evenly, overlapping ends slightly.
5. **Smooth tape**: Press tape firmly against shaft, removing air bubbles.
6. **Activate adhesive**: Apply generous amount of grip solvent to tape surface.
7. **Install grip**: Slide grip onto shaft while solvent is wet.
8. **Align and set**: Position grip while solvent is still wet. Allow 2-4 hours to dry.

Professional tip: Apply solvent to both tape AND inside of grip for easiest installation.

– Baseball bat grips
– Tool handle wraps
– Any application needing double-sided cloth tape

Materials and Construction

Our grip tape uses a woven cloth backing for tear resistance during installation. The adhesive is a proprietary solvent-activated formula that bonds permanently to both steel and graphite shafts.

The adhesive chemistry is designed to:
– Remain tacky for extended working time (30-60 seconds)
– Bond permanently after solvent evaporates (2-4 hours)
– Resist heat, cold, and moisture after cure
– Not damage shaft finishes or paint

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need solvent to activate this tape?
A: Yes. This tape requires solvent to activate the adhesive. It will not stick properly without solvent.

Q: Can I use mineral spirits or lighter fluid?
A: Yes. Mineral spirits, grip solvent, or lighter fluid all work well. Avoid acetone (evaporates too quickly).

Q: How many grips can I install with one roll?
A: 30-40 standard grips with single wrap coverage.

Q: Can I double-wrap for larger grip size?
A: Yes. Apply two layers of tape for a build-up of approximately 1/16″.

Q: Will this tape work on graphite shafts?
A: Yes. Safe for both steel and graphite shafts.

Q: Does this tape leave residue when removed?
A: Some residue remains, but it’s easily removed with grip solvent and a cloth.

Q: Can I use this tape with air compressor installation?
A: No. This tape requires solvent activation. For air installation, use air-specific tape.

Q: Is this tape reusable?
