Are wedge grips normally larger than the grips of the other clubs in your bag? Does it matter?

I recently picked up a new gap & sand wedge and find that they may require a little "getting used to" OR should I just have them re-gripped to match the grips of my other clubs in terms of size/feel?

Don't know the real answer, but I can tell you all my irons and wedges have the exact same size grip. I play OK with it that way.

3 Wood: Big Bertha II 15° - S
Irons: Mizuno MX-20
Wedges: Mizuno 50-06, 56-11, 60-05

It's personal preference. I need to have all of my grips be midsize because I can't stand to have one club feel different. The type of grip isn't as important to me as the size but your mileage may vary.

Actually for me it does matter. I carry three wedges: the PW and SW from my iron set, and another PW that I have for around the green chipping. THis PW has a smaller, shorter grip than my other clubs; it helps me mentally. I feel like I have more control with this club than my other clubs.

All of mine are midsize, wedges included. I can't stand small grips - it causes me to hit the ball all over the place.

i think your grips shouldnt be too big, with big grips, you wont even get the feel or the control of the club. With smaller grips you have a steady handle on the club.

      39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips.

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
