Roll the new grip onto a grip cone, slide the cone over the top of the handle, then roll the grip down under even tension so it doesn't twist. Check the bottom edge sits flush. A grip cone makes this a thirty-second job and we stock them for a few dollars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen Should You Replace a Grip?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the surface has gone smooth and shiny, when the rubber feels hard instead of tacky, or when you catch yourself gripping tighter than you used to.
