Golfworks/Golf Galaxy Grip Tape Issues


TheWalkingGolfer

Recommended Posts

Anyone having issues with either of the Golfworks or Golf Galaxy grip tapes? I just picked up a roll after never having an issue with Golf Galaxy tape but this newest roll drys up so quick and grips get stuck half way down even with a ton of solvent. I have never had this issue before. I use straight mineral spirits and have some strips laying around that are still slide fine so its not a solvent issue.

 

Whats the best tape out there for the price? I just ordered Hireko from amazon since I can prime it.

Did you maybe accidentally get water activated tape?

Never thought about that but maybe. I ran in a grabbed it quick so I didn’t really look hard, just grabbed from the typical shelf.

If you ordered the hireko intertape 591, you're going to be happy with it. Ive been using the intertape branded version (along with bramptons solvent) with great results. It's pricey but the quality is excellent.

Any chance you bought the golfworks solvent as well. I was having the same issues with the grips getting stuck and it was the golf works solvent. Switched to mineral spirits and the same tape and it was 100 times better

 

I just use mineral spirits from Home Depot so I’m going to check the tape today.

I got a large roll at PGASS a few weeks ago and the stuff is pretty bad.

have done a dozen clubs and wasted quite a bit.

last weekend about a third of what came off the roll was not tacky enough to stick to masking tape.

today was the topper.

an eight foot section unusable.

bad adhesive on one or both sides.

 

this stuff is all manufactured by a commercial mill that produces other adhesive products.

fricking Duck Tape is eight dollars a roll and won't unstick.

currently playing:
FT-5 - D
Cally FT hybrids
Hogan Edge GS, 4-PW
Vokey Oil Can 52, 56
Ping Anser 2

TM FlexTech Lite/Titleist StaDry

I might be the minority then. I haven't had any issues with Golfworks grip tape.

 

I use mineral spirits and have regripped several sets in the last year without issue. The roll is about a year old and I just did a set of irons last week. My only gripe is how the adhesive skims off when slipping on a grip so I have to make sure to clean up the shaft really well. Otherwise I haven't had any slippage or twisting with them.

Same this is the first time I have had an issue. I wen't back today and picked up another role an no issues this time, must have gotten a bad role earlier.
