Adjusting Grip Size -1/64th

[TopWalker]

If one were to buy irons "off the rack" and they come with a Standard grip size, I imagine it's easy to make the grips bigger by adding tape.

However, what does one do if one want to make the grips smaller, i.e. -1/64th?

Are you stuck with standard grips that came with the clubs or are there actual "smaller" grips that can be swapped? Other ways to make the grips smaller?

Thanks for your comments.

Setting aside my most burning question (How the heck can anyone tell if a grip is 1/64th smaller?), there are a couple of options. I looked through my Golfsmith catalog and I saw only a handful of grips sold that are listed as 'undersized'. There may be more, but that is all they listed. It doesn't say what undersized was. Most of the overs are 1/8 or 1/16, so I would have to assume that under would be one or the other. The other option might be a woman's grip. Again, I'm not real sure what the size comes out to be, but it would be smaller than the regular men's standard.

If you do want smaller grips, just have the clubs special ordered with them. You might have a few more options to choose from. Otherwise you end up paying the price of the clubs, then paying to get new grips put on. Unless you are looking for an expensive grip, most regular grips (GP Tour Velvet, Lampkin Crossline, etc.) will be included in the standard cost of the clubs and won't cost you anything else.

I went with 2 wraps of tape on my putter this go round, instead of just 1.....feels completely different. I love it.

I started playing Ping originally because they were the only company (at that time) that offered different grip sizes (from undersized to oversized) as a standard option.

It always seemed bizarre to me that other companies did not do that, since a difference in grip size makes a huge difference for me (and presumably others).
