Replacing a stroke lab grip

[CDLgolf]

I have a stroke lab 7 with and oversize grip. The grip weighs 65g. I'd like to replace it with a Superstroke pistol gt 1.0 which weighs 82g.

 

Is there a problem doing this ? Will I notice a difference in the feel of the putter ?

 

One way I thought about doing it was pull the grip, remove the weight in the shaft. total weight 105g.  (Not sure how easy it is to remove the weight without cutting the shaft. )

 

Get a SS countercore gt 1.0 @ 52g with the 50g weight. total weight 102g.

 

Would this be a better way to go ?

The super stroke grip with the countercore weight is the route I went, thinking that it would be easier to fine tune the weight if needed. 
 

The stock stroke lab weight is easy to pull, I used a heat gun to loosen the epoxy and the weight slid right out. Probably could even get by with a hair dryer. Would be a little nervous with a torch on the graphite shaft. 
 

That being said, you may or may not even notice the ~17 extra grams in the grip if you just straight swap them, just depends on how sensitive you are to swing/total weight. 
 

One thing I found out that I hadn’t really seen mentioned anywhere is that the super stroke grips with countercore (which is most if not all of the current models) have a thick end cap to accommodate the screw in weights that adds a little more than 1/4” to the over length of the putter. 
 

Good luck!

I just did this. I have a stroke lab black 7. Without knowing the weight of the stock grip I pulled it with intentions to replace with a Pro Only Cord Blue. The grip weighs like 88 grams. I thought the stock grip would be much heavier but like you said only weighed in at about 67 grams. I left the stock weight in the shaft. You can definitely tell the difference as the swing weight is about 8 points less. It’s more of a counterbalanced effect as the head feels lighter to move. I don’t mind it but could use a little more head weight. It’s easy to dial in if you pull the stock weight and go with a countercore super stroke grip.

Same - heat gun and the weight popped right out.   I use a SS w a 75gram 

 

good Luck
