Grip solvent and cold mornings
· Luis Medeiros
The glue and the solvent we use are sensitive to temperature. In a warm room they work in seconds. In a cold one they take longer, and the grip can twist on the shaft if you rush.
Our shop is heated, but the first clubs of the morning come in from cars at five degrees. I leave them on the bench for ten minutes before I touch them.
What this means for you
If you are bringing clubs in during a cold snap, expect us to keep them an extra half hour. If you are doing it yourself at home, let the clubs warm up first.
It saves a few clubs a year, and the people who own them.
