The Tacki-Mac Pro Lite 865 is a very light, thin grip for bubble shafts and other wide shaft butts. Its .865" core fits shafts with a butt up to .865". Tacki-Mac lists it at 18 g (±2 g), latex free. It is a standard size grip, not an oversize: the wall is thin and soft, so once it is on the shaft it feels close to a standard grip. You will need the Ultimate Grip Installer Tool to install it. Not sure which bubble grip you need? Measure the butt end of your shaft. A .810" butt takes the Bubble Replacement; a butt up to .865" takes the Pro Lite 865. Our bubble grip guide explains the difference. Who It's For Good fit if you... Have a bubble shaft or other wide shaft with a butt up to .865" Want a very light grip: 18 g Want a standard-size feel on a wide shaft butt Need a latex-free grip: Tacki-Mac says this grip is latex free Not the right fit if you... Have a TaylorMade bubble shaft with a .810" butt: choose the Tacki-Mac Bubble Replacement Have a regular .600" or .580" shaft: browse our standard size grips Want an oversize grip: this grip installs at a standard size Do not want to buy an installer tool: you need the Ultimate Grip Installer Tool to fit it How It Plays Big core, thin wall. Tacki-Mac makes the grip with a .865" core, far larger than the .600" or .580" of a regular grip. The wall is thin, so the finished grip ends up close to a standard size on a wide shaft. Very light. At 18 g it is a little over half the weight of the 32 g Bubble Replacement. A lighter grip makes the clubhead feel a touch heavier through the swing. Stretches on. Bubble grips are thinner and softer than regular grips. They stretch to fit as you install them with the Ultimate Grip Installer Tool.

Frequently Asked Questions Do I need a special tool to install it? Yes. To put a bubble grip on a bubble shaft you need the Ultimate Grip Installer Tool. It opens up the grip so it slides over the wide butt without splitting. Use plenty of solvent inside the grip over the tape, or the grip can stick halfway on. Our step-by-step regripping guide covers the rest of the job. Will it fit my shaft? It fits shafts with a butt up to .865". Measure the butt end before you order. TaylorMade bubble shafts with a .810" butt take the Bubble Replacement. Is it an oversize grip? No. It is a standard size grip. The core is larger to fit the shaft, but the wall is thin, so the outside ends up close to a standard grip. How much does it weigh? 18 g, plus or minus 2 g, per Tacki-Mac. Can I use it on a regular shaft? No. The .865" core is far too large for a regular .600" or .580" shaft. Browse our standard size grips instead.
