Agree with Jake on this. Grip cone ftw.

Tried the bag method. Ended uop with the bag splitting and the grip half on. Ended up having to cut away both bag and grip. Not ideal. Get a cone mate, much easier.....

A cone is a lot easier, as it is reuseable and less likely to fail!

I prefer using the cone. I very tried the bag method but for kept ripping the bag.I've also got the gm grip applicator which is very good but only on certain grips,downside is trying to put a grip on a already gripped handle.That is a near impossibility

I put some vaseline on the handle and inside the grip.goes on lovely.
it dries up so no problems with the grip slipping

Vaseline and a tapering wooden cone used to roll something rubber on, doesn't sound dodgy at all...

Kwik Grips are the best applicators, put most grips on in seconds except Octopus - but they are poocakes, so I don't care about that.
