Occasionally, especially with newly gripped or new clubs, the grip will fall off with no tape residue within. However, if there is still tape in there, I use the bore cleaner to scrape it clean. This procedure is aided by a bit additional solvent in the grasp. That's the only thing there is to it. It is not suitable for Winn or cord grips, according to GolfWorks and Golfsmith. There are several types of tapes on the market today for different applications. Some are made of rubber like material and some are made of nylon. The most common type of tape is called "gripspeel" and it's used to install them on your club handles. The grip-peel tape has a rough surface that when you put pressure on it, it will peel back the old grip and stick it on the club handle instead. When you're done using the club, just remove the tape. You should always test a new club with tape on it first before using it on an actual shot. This way you won't have any problems once the tape comes off. Of course, if the club feels wrong then you shouldn't use it even with tape on it. Here are some examples of tape: Golfworks, Koolertape, Grip-Peel, Nokturner, etc. There are many more, but these are the most common ones. Each brand may have their own name for this product; for example, Nokturner calls theirs "Grip-Paste".
