Re-griping your own clubs
dbleber:
I wanted to know what the people in the business use to regrip clubs. I have always just used 3M double-sided carpet tape and a can of paint thinner. Doesn't seem to high tech, but any suggestions or tips from the pros would be nice!
Thanks
Denny
Acetone and Graphite... do not mix
I stay away from acetone on graphite. I have experienced paint damage problems on many occasions (with UST and Graffaloy shafts).
It is probably cheaper and more effective to use a paint cleaner/solvent if you have some low-odor brand around.
I use turpentine as a shaft cleaner.
I use acetone only to prep shafts before epoxy application or to polish ferrules.

I've seen it wipe the anodized finish right off a set of motorcycle forks.
