Is there a grip that is better for a wedge? Pelz sells a grip that is made my Winn, slightly longer and with less taper. However, it looks like other Winn simulated wrap grips.

Has anyone had a preference for any grip other than their regular iron grip on their wedges (which I will define as clubs above 50° loft).

Thanks,

David

Personally I believe and use the same grips for my irons and my wedges. I don't believe or recommend that people mix and match their grips unless common clubs are the same (woods, irons, wedges). I know some people that prefer a firmer grip on wedges because they feel it provides better feedback.....so really what I'm getting at is that it's a personal preference.

Here are some other threads that talk about peoples preferences.

I have tried a winn grip of one of my friends and I found it extremely good. It gives you a good feel of the club and at the same time, it gives you brilliant grip

has anyone been fitted for grip sizes during a custom fitting session? if so, how much difference does it make?

David,

Don't waste time or money trying to obtain the "Pelz" branded grips. It is very easy to make a less tapered grip by simply wrapping extra tape under the lower hand portion of the grip and then simply apply double sided tape and install the grip. This is an old trick many faders of the golf ball often use to since a thicker grip in the lower hand is more difficult to turn over.

Johnnyallthetime,

Getting fit for grip size is crucial, but sadly is often overlooked. Any fitting session should begin with hand measurements and allow the customer to demo a variety of grip sizes. With out a proper fit for grip size, players with undersized grips often strangle the grip leading to excess tension and reduced grip life both of which can adversely effect your swing. Players with oversized grips have problems with accuracy and control.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
