I tried a midsize grip on my club with no tape and it felt awesome. One wrap feels good under a midsize too. I really want the red golf pride tour wraps but they only sell midsize in black. It sounds stupid to care about the fashion and not the function but something about looking down at red makes me feel better. lol.

So does anyone think building up the regular grip with 3 or 4 wraps of tape would be a bad idea as opposed to just getting the midsize grip in a color I dont like?

Also I have dynamic gold HL S300 shafts. .600 butt size. Should I get .60 grips or .580 and an extra layer of tape or what? Thats confusing me too.

Nope not a bad idea at all. I have midsize New Decades on my irons but got my wedges re-gripped and they used standard with 4 wraps. Feels just as good to me. As for the last question, I have no idea. I just take my clubs in and ask the local golf shop to re-grip them.

Thanks. So standard with 4 wraps feels the same as midsize with one wrap? Or close enough anyway right? I figured. thanks again.

It's either 4 or 5 wraps. Maybe try 4 on one wedge and 5 on another wedge, just to try them out. I doubt you'll much of a difference, but I would try it.

5 wraps + standard = Midsize

But if you need the size of a midsize I would think a midsize grip is better than 5 wraps + standard grip.

Slipping a .580 core grip on a .600 butt shaft will be awfully close to midsize without and extra tape. 4 layers of tape is going to affect swing weight some.

Midsize grips are also heavier and have some influence on swingweight......

      Day 2: played 18. Driving was decent to good. Approach play was meh. Short game meh, and putting solid. Added up to an 81. Needed more tap in pars and more birdie chances.

      Day 8 (28 Jun 26) - Worked with face position at address and overall setup - open/neutral/closed - and setting up for resulting shot shapes - using 8i and hard foam balls.  It was abbreviated as the thunder began to rumble. Got in about 20 swings before calling it.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
