ABSTRACT:
A novel method and apparatus for cutting a slit in the grip of a golf club to facilitate the removal of a golf grip from a golf club is disclosed. The disclosed grip removing device includes a mountable base having a club receiving portion and a back portion; a cutting member secured to the mountable base proximate the club receiving portion of the mountable base; and an alignment member movably secured to the back end of the mountable base. The disclosed method includes inserting a butt end of a golf club into the grip receiving portion of the grip removing device, positioning the cutting member to engage the grip, and pulling the butt end of the golf club from the grip receiving portion of the grip removing device to slit the grip along a longitudinal line to facilitate removal of the grip from the shaft. The inserting step may further include inserting the butt end of the golf club into an alignment member and moving the golf club within the alignment member relative to the base of the grip removing device to position the butt end of the club proximate to the cutting member.
