I'm unclear on what is keeping the grip in place using this approach? Isn't there a good reason that grip tape and solvent are used (keeping the grip from slipping). It sounds like under wet/humid conditions there could be an issue?
This is also a concern of mine! There is nothing "sticky" holding the grip to the club, so it could slip, although I was unable to twist or slide the grips even a little bit. I played a fairly wet round last weekend, and had no problems. We'll see how it works when it gets hot and humid. Also, my old grips came off very clean (had to cut them - they were old and stuck on pretty tight), so I just left the old grip tape on there. There's a little stickyness holding things in place on most of them, but even the ones that had just masking tape were tight.
I did find one downside to this method. I tried 2 wraps of tape on one club and after a couple days decided to switch back to one wrap. I had to use a different grip because, although tight, it seemed to stretch out just a little and I could twist it just a bit.
Pressure/ friction holds the grips in place as they are always stretched over the surface. 2 way grip tape etc is only used with solvent to get the glue slippery to get the grip on. It does not actually hold the grip in place.

Is that right ? I have asked that exact question of every grip fitter i have ever met and was always told that the adhesive on the tape took effect as soon as the solvent evaporated.I can feel an invention coming on!
