Why Standard Golf Grips Don't Fit Everyone

Grip thickness directly affects shot shape, comfort, and control. Too thin causes overactive hands and hooks. Too thick reduces wrist action and causes pushes. Stock grips ignore these personal differences.

Building up with adhesive tape damages expensive graphite and steel shafts. Residue remains after grip changes, requiring cleanup. Most golfers settle for grips that don't quite fit rather than risk shaft damage.

You need a way to precisely customize grip thickness without permanent modification — something that builds up exactly where you need it and removes clean when you change grips.

How Guard-Tex Customizes Golf Grips

Precise Thickness Control

Each layer adds approximately 1/64 inch. Build up exactly where your hands sit — full coverage, fingers only, or palm area. Dial in your perfect circumference with surgical precision.

Zero Shaft Damage

Guard-Tex has zero adhesive. Nothing bonds to your shaft — graphite, steel, or multi-material. Remove grips and the tape comes off clean. No residue, no cleanup, no damage.

Works Under Any Grip

Build your base with Guard-Tex, then install any grip normally with standard solvent. The tape provides a stable foundation that doesn't interfere with grip installation or removal.

Guard-Tex vs. Standard Grip Tape

Standard double-sided grip tape uses adhesive that bonds to shafts and leaves residue. Build-up tape with adhesive can damage graphite. Guard-Tex provides the same thickness customization with zero adhesive contact — your shafts stay pristine through multiple grip changes.

How to Build Custom Golf Grip Thickness

1

Remove Old Grip

Strip your club to bare shaft. Clean off any old adhesive residue. Start fresh with a clean surface for best results.

2

Build Your Base

Wrap Guard-Tex where you want added thickness. Each full wrap adds about 1/64 inch to diameter. Four to six layers creates a noticeable size increase. Wrap evenly for consistent feel.

3

Install New Grip

Apply grip solvent and install your grip normally over the Guard-Tex buildup. The tape provides a stable base. Your custom thickness is now built into every swing.

Pro Tips From Club Fitters

  • For arthritic hands, build up the lower hand position more than the upper — reduces grip pressure needed.
  • Match your glove hand to your bare hand by adjusting buildup differently on each side.
  • Test builds with practice grips before committing to your gamer set.

Golf Grip Tape FAQ

Will Guard-Tex affect grip installation?

No. Guard-Tex provides a smooth, stable base for grip installation. Use standard grip solvent as usual. The tape doesn't interfere with the installation process or grip adhesion.

Can I adjust after installation?

You'll need to remove the grip to adjust Guard-Tex underneath. But removal is clean — no residue on the shaft. Rebuild and reinstall to dial in your perfect fit.

How much buildup per layer?

Each layer adds approximately 1/64 inch to grip diameter. Four to six layers creates a noticeable difference. Eight to ten layers for significant size increase.
