Step 1:
Remove the current grip from your hockey stick. If you prefer playing with a thicker grip, you can also apply your new grip over the current grip.
Step 2:
Remove the glue residue, any leftover bits of the original grip, and make sure the shaft of the hockey stick is dry. Cut a small part at the start of the grip diagonally and start wrapping from here.
Step 3:
Start applying the grip at the top of the stick and place the RIBBON Cork grip slightly diagonally on your stick. Put the grip on slightly and hold it with your thumb. Wrap the grip straight around the hockey stick in 1 time. Remove the adhesive edge with each turn.
TIP: If you want to practice first, leave the strip on the glue line.
Step 4:
Wrap the grip down at an angle. While turning downwards put some tension on the grip by pulling it lightly. This ensures that the grip is tight around your hockey stick. Make sure the layers of the grip overlap each other about 2 to 3 millimeters, to avoid gaps.
Step 5:
Rotate the RIBBON Cork grip to where you want, all RIBBON hockey grips are extra long. One likes to turn the grip a little further for a better feeling at your right hand at the bottom of your stick.
Step 6:
When you finish covering your stick shaft, hold the end of your grip with your thumb and stick a piece of tape on it so the RIBBON Cork grip stays in place. You can cut the end of the grip diagonally to let the grip smoothly fit to your hockey stick.
TIP: Follow the lines of the old grip.
