do you have to remove the old grip tape or does the replacement tape go over the existing grip?

"Overgrip" wraps around the grip that comes with the racquet. If you remove the grip that comes with the racquet, you have to buy a "replacement grip".

It's called "overgrip" because it goes over the existing grip. It is too thin to be a grip so do not remove the old grip.

Remove old, definitely. Grip size important but replacement should not make difference.

If you mean grip tape, sure. If you plan on putting new grip tape with designs, you'll have to find a way to completely remove what's already on there, unless you want to cut out a design, then any box or exacto knife will do. if the tape is purely cosmetic then more power to you to make your board unique to your individual style! hope this has helped :)

yes the new one is the same as the old one once you carefully take it off you'll see.. Once you unstick the old one its still stuck on there from the 2sided tape just take dental floss so it doesn't scratch your paint and use that to help get it off or a credit card just be careful to not scratch the paint ya know

Yes, you simply remove the plastic protector of the adhesive and replace the original.

I didn't change a thing. Removed stock grips and installed new ones. Took about 5 minutes. Pistol works the same. The Hogue grips are awesome!

I reused the old tape. It's ok but not perfect as the original state. It will also depend on the tool and how you take out the old screen. Certain area, I scraped off the old tape more than other. It doesn't bother me but if you want to be perfect then get the tape.

Just put grip tape on it or file down a cross hatch pattern on the bottom for the grip you need

The current grips must be removed and this takes its place. Mine works perfect. Colt 45

I had the manufacturers instructions how to remove old grip and the new grip was easy to install. Regarding latex, you will have to check with Pachmayr.

It takes the place of the existing grip. It requires some work with the recoil spring to replace the existing grip. But well worth it

I does not come with grip tape and I'm not sure about the exact sizes. I was able to put my old trucks on it, so I think it's standard. Just as a side note, my board came with a really crappy finish on it. It was this really thick glossy stuff and it had cracks all over it. The ends were especially bad and the finish was chipping off. I didn't mind because I was planning on stripping it and refinishing it anyway, but just giving you a heads up that you will probably want to do the same.

No, you can do it without one. It makes it a little easier if you have one. You basically use a utility knife to cut off the old grip, (use a hooked blade on graphite shafts) then clean off the old tape (or keep it on if you want a bit thicker grip). Apply the new tape, wet it down, and slide on the new grip. The glue on the tape will get slippery and let you pull the new grip on easily if you get it wet enough.

No, it is fine to leave it on. It just thickens up the grip a bit. Multiple layers of tape are a common way to make a grip a bit thicker.

Yes it does come with grip tape, but it is separate so you have to apply it yourself.
