Abstract
A device for assisting with installing a slip-on golf grip onto a golf club shaft. The device or tool has a funnel that is used for mounting a golf club grip thereon, for pouring solvent into the mounted grip with solvent that is residing in the tool container portion, and for pouring unused solvent into a solvent storage container. Because of the shape, the tool can be easily held below a golf shaft with one hand and pouring solvent thereon with another hand. There is a notch on the tool that allows a portion of the golf club shaft to be placed below the rim of the container portion of the tool during the pouring of solvent thereon. Additionally, the notch serves to aid the golf club shaft longitudinal axis to be aligned parallel to the tool's longitudinal axis.
