    I'm looking to build up the grip on my N90 II but it will take a lot of tape to get it to the thickness I want. I'm wondering about tapes that are meant for this purpose rather than putting three or four (or more) rolls of regular grip tape on it.
    I will prob have to order online so if there are any recommended sites please inform. Thanks!

    do you have very large hands? 3 or 4 layers of grip is rather unusual.

    My hands are pretty big but also the grip is XS and I am having golfers elbow problems. I was told a bigger grip will help.

    Maybe try using one of the thicker tennis racquet grips with the extra padding.

    That's a new one. I am a bit skeptical of that. If it does help, I guess it does so by reducing your ability to put power in the shot. I did put up a thread on golfers elbow in the injuries forum.

    I'll check out the golfers elbow forum. I'm hoping the large grip will work the same as the giant putter grips that are supposed to improve control in addition to helping my elbow. We'll see I guess...
