So I am looking to re-grip my clubs for the start of the season. I re-gripped them last season without doing any research (I had never re-gripped myself before). So this season I decided to do some research and make sure I did it the correct way.

So my question is this; I have irons with .580 shafts and hybrids/woods with .600 shafts. I cannot seem to find a grip that looks like what I want that comes in both sizes. Why is that so difficult? I know I could get all .600 and add a layer of extra tape on the irons, but why should I have to go through that extra work? Shouldn't I be able to fid grips in both sizes? Or am I missing something?

If you use 580 core grips on 600 shafts it's 600 - 580 = 0020 + size, regular build up tape adds 0015 so the this will give you a small amouth larger than using 1 layer of buildup.

580 means more rubber than 600.

And you can find grips in 600 and 580

That said, I have been to the same problems several time, ending up doing two layers of tape on all my irons and wedges, and one layer under the thumb. And only one layer on woods and driver, with the one under the thumb.

Just make sure you use the same tape on everything, I have seen clubmakers use thicker tape than regular, and thats not god :)

    • after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....
    • this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.
    • day 57. Technique practice in the net. Really trying to slow down. 
    • It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
    • As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
