(1) Cut off the old grip and remove any old grip tape underneath. (2) Use some sandpaper to "rough up" the portion of the shaft that will be under the grip. (3) Apply the new grip tape to the shaft. (4) Depending on the type of tape you're using, wet it down with water or the appropriate liquid. (5) Slide the new grip over the shaft and rotate it so that the markings are located correctly for your hands. (6) Let it dry. Done!
