"Rare as hens teeth", some people would say.

The most popular components retailer carries only four grips that will fit a Bubble Shaft (of over 200 available grips). They are: Taylor Made Bubble Tour Wrap, Firesole Bubble, All-Weather Bubble, and Tour Wrap Ultralight (by golf pride)

Need 9 or ten grips.

Thanks

normal grips aren't big enough to fit on shaft.

Been a while since I installed one of these grips. They had a butt size (600??) which was miles larger than normal. The rubber on the grip at the butt-end is quite thin, so the golfer cannot feel any difference.

Prick of a grip to install. Used to have to use needle nose pliers to stretch them out over the butt of the shaft.

If I can get a tour velvet over 7 wraps of tape - surely a .600 butt ain;t going to be a problem...

just stretch the bitch.

Getting it on isn't the drama. The rubber is too thick at the butt end so the grip plays like it has 10 papers at the butt.

Gotcha... go and get a decent shaft then.

The bubble shaft were proven to be a crock of shite back in the late 90's.

A $20 pull out would be a better option and as a bonus - you can buy almost any grip.

Win win if you ask me.

Your best solution is to go to a Pro Shop that has a TaylorMade contract, and ask if they can get the grips in. If they can - they'll probably cost you $15 ea. If they don't - do what Virge suggested.
