Maybe put a little dishwashing detergent on the stick first to lube it up. sm |

Finally managed but i didn't get ONE inch (of the total 12) for free - it was a long struggle... |

An old trick with golf club grips, bicycle handlebar grips, etc. is to give the inside of the grip a shot of hairspray (aerosol from a can) - then quickly slip it on. When wet, it acts like a lubricant; when dry, it acts like a glue. You need to be quick with it - otherwise, it'll be stuck halfway on. |
