How do you reshaft and regrip a golf club?
The absolute best way to regrip a golf club is to use an air gun. The type used has a narrow "nipple" it tapers to a small opening. You can buy a "special" golf club gripping tool online or you can just go to any hardware store that sells air tools and buy a simple air gun. Make sure you get on that doesn't have holes in side of nozzile and tapers to a small point. They are very common and cost about $5
See NOTES AT END OF ANSWER FOR TIPS.
1) All golf grips contain a small hole in the butt end of the grip. By pushing the end of the air gun into this hole and applying air pressure I have my regulator set to 80 lbs. it will cause the old grip to swell around the shaft and can be removed "IF" it is not too old. If it is stuck, you can use one of those plastic club guides that go into your bag to keep the old grip from blowing up like a balloon. That is IF it is not too old and you want to save it. If you don't care just cut it off with a razor knife.
2) Leave old tape on shaft, it will work again. I have left tape 30yrs old on the shaft and it will work fine. I suspect you don't even need the tape as the conventional way to put grip on is to use solvent. Solvent simply makes the glue on the tape slippery so the new grip could be slid on easy. With air you don't need to have it.
3) Put the end of the new grip onto the end of the shaft about 1/4 inch. Place the air gun into the small hole on butt of new grip. Put pressure on the end of the grip so when air is applied it will slide further onto the shaft. Once it starts sliding with air applied it will go on very easily and can be rotated to align the logo on the grip with the club head. NOTE: you dont' need the plastic tube mentioned above to put the new grip on. It will slide with very little pressure once air is applied and it will not swell up like an old one.
4) The new grip can be usually be removed easily without damage for a while so you can try different grips on a club to see which one you like.
NOTES:
*) Put club in vise to hold it during process. I made a rubber clamp from an old piece of automotive radiator hose to prevent the club shaft from being scarred. You could use a towel.
*) Once grip is on shaft I hold the grip nearest the club head, apply downward pressure and then apply more air to do the final seating. This helps to gently stretch the grip all the way onto the shaft and cover the mark left by the old grip. It will not damage the new grip to do this.
*) During the final seating I also make sure the logo is aligned with the club head so at address the grip logo is on top the club. This is aesthetic and I don't believe affects the performance of the club. But no reason not to align it.
Where are cobra golf clubs manufactured?
Was wondering the same thing. And, came upon this:
The heads for Cobra golf clubs are made in China.
The shafts and grips are produced in Mexico.
The components are shipped to Carlsbad, Calif., where they are assembled.
Cobra clubs were originally made in the USA at the Carlsbad, CA manufacturing plant. As the company grew it quickly became the leader in the golf market, making millions of dollars on their driver sales alone. They were the first US golf manufacturer to introduce graphite shafts and sets of oversized irons. Cobra's success (a dominating 75% of the market in 1995) attracted the attention of big money corporations and was eventually bought out in 1996 by Acushnet, maker of Titleist clubs and balls.
Big companies are great at finding ways to decrease overhead and increase profit, which tends to lead to outsourcing the manufacturing process. The automotive and motorcycle industries do the same thing. "American-made" most often implies that the design and specs are American, and after some other cheap-labor country makes the parts, they are shipped back to be "assembled" in America.
Nevertheless, Cobra clubs are great! They look great, feel great, and play great, regardless of where the individual pieces are made today.
