So I got my irons re-gripped with fairly expensive Lamkin crossline full cord grips and noticed - well after the fact of course - that one of the long iron grips is twisted and stuck that way. The white vertical alignment marks are almost a 1/4 turn out of true.

It's annoying because I like to use the alignment point to position my lead hand rather than positioning off the face angle. Despite that, I can make it work as it is.

Question is would you take it back and expect the guy to re-do it? Is it even possible without destroying the grip that's on there? If not do I have a reasonable expectation of the club guy to cover the replacement grip for his error?

If you paid a professional to re-grip the clubs I doubt they would have a problem fixing this issue free of charge.

Wouldn't he have to rip the old one & replace - or can he remove & re-set it?

He could probably remove and reset it. There are special tools for that.

If he can't reset the grip, due to lack of tools or knowledge, it would not be unreasonable to expect him to pay for the replacement grip. You paid him to install the grips and he failed to do it properly.

Using compressed air, he could simply twist the grip to the correct position.

Otherwise, have him remove the grip and reinstall correctly.

My guess is compressed air.

I began DIY regripping. What an education. I have that twisted grip thing down pat.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
