I recently bought a new set of Ben Hogan player combo set of irons, 4-7 PTX Pro and 8-PW Icons. Of course they came with new grips. I need to replace the grips on my 3 woods and 3 wedges that will stay in the bag. Should I go ahead and do all 13 clubs with the same grip for consistency or find a similar style grip for the 6 new ones. I have always preferred the Golf Pride tour wrap but the irons are not a wrap.

Go all 13. If you think there is any chance it will bother you, do it.

Welcome to TST.

I think it is all personal choice.  My driver is a different grip but other clubs are the same.  Not really be design, just how it is.  Last time my clubs need to be redone the driver was fine so I left it alone.

I used to have different grips for the clubs bought separately, but recently had all regripped the same and I like it. Largely personal preference, but I do like the consistency/uniformity now

I play grips that are different on many clubs. Right now… let's see…

  • My putter, obviously. 🙂
  • Driver has the original grip it came with. It's a New Decade ALIGN one.
  • My 3W has a Tour Wrap I think.
  • My hybrid has a Lamkin.
  • My irons have Pure Pro.
  • My wedges have PURE DTX.

The CLUBS themselves are different, so why would I care if the grips are?

I changed all my grips, except the putter, because I wanted all mid-size grips. I did the entire set, driver through SW. As stated above it is a personal choice, how do they feel for you? I know some guys don't really care and some do. Changing my grips gave me the feeling that I had an entire new set of clubs, worked for me.

I guess my answer to your question would be to change all your grips.

I have mainly used MCC +4's in the past, but recently got new irons the end of last year and had the Pure DTX grips put on them.  The few rounds I played it bothered me a little having different grips, mainly because my other grips were old and ready to be changed, but getting the rest replaced with Pure DTX next week.

Me too. I've also ordered custom clubs and asked to have the grips shipped loose. That way when the club arrives I can put a Pure DTX Midsize Grip on their from jump street.

I do this all the time. It annoys the f*ck out of me to peel off grip tape though.

I requested grip off with the last two Edel wedges I ordered, but they came with grips installed 🤬. My new set of irons should be arriving soon, and I also asked the fitter to order with grips off. Hopefully Srixon is more attentive to stuff like that. I've got some Pure Combos to try out with them.

I'll be jazzed to hear about how you like the Pure Combos. To mean that seems like a great idea. I hope they bring them out in Midsized.

I have all different grips on various clubs.

Sometimes, it is just to get the right swing weight or feel.  On my 3 wood, I want to be able to hit a high draw and it has a thinner grip.  On my short wedges, I can't stand a taper whereas on my irons up to GW, the grips are all tapered.

I don’t mind different grips, but within each of these club types, the grips must match:

  • Fairway woods
  • hybrids
  • irons

The different grip types in these categories often gives me a semi-conscious tactile reminder of the slightly different swings for the club types, if that makes sense.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
