Haven't used the Winn branded ones, but I have installed many TourStars. I use doube sided carpet tape and lighter fluid.

Apply just like any other grip. Ream to size and epoxy them on.

Thanks, I have installed many golf grips back in my youth and wondered if these could be done the same way.

Chuck, I don't know why you could not install them exactly the same as a golf grip. Did you ever have a golf grip come loose? I haven't.

Why go through the extra trouble using double sided tape, lighter fluid and what ever else it takes when you can ream and epoxy it on in just a couple of minutes. Try it out and you'll realize how simple it is.

By the time you have the grip reamed and your epoxy mxed, using golf grip tape and grip solvent, (not lighter fluid), I will have the grip completely installed. It won't move.
