Default Stick grip loose - help how do I attach it properly?

Use double sided golf re-gripping tape (eg. http://www.golfsmith.com/cm/search/gripping-supplies ). Spiral the tape down the stick for the length of the grip. Butt the sides of the tape up as you go. Trim accordingly. If one layer isn't thick enough, continue to layer until it is. Get a can of cigarette lighter fluid. After properly protecting the cockpit surfaces, douse the tape and the inside of the grip with the lighter fluid so all contacting surfaces are really wet. Quickly slide the grip on the stick and position it properly immediately. The lighter fluid will evaporate within maybe 20 seconds, so be quick and accurate. You only get one shot so do it right or you will be cutting off the grip and trying again.


no, we're soaring junkies... there's no golfing on the airport!
