Abstract
A pressure sensitive adhesive tape for bonding a golf grip to a shaft of a golf club. The tape construction includes a carrier or substrate having a pressure sensitive adhesive on one side and an activatable adhesive on the other side. A release liner may be applied to protect the adhesive layers. The pressure sensitive adhesive is utilized to adhere the tape to the shaft of the club leaving the activatable adhesive on the outside of the tape. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive is activated using a soap-water mixture which causes the adhesive first to become slippery allowing application of the grip and then setting-up to bond the grip to the club. Alternatively, the adhesive may be activated using a solvent.
