When your irons need new grips, do you just simply go out and buy 9 grips ? or do you need to get a measurement ?

I have Mizuno worn out grips and need to replace them. I do have a Lamkin Crossline on my Driver and like it very much, but Irons ??

If you like the feel of the lamikins then by all means go with them. But i just go the golf Pride new decade and i can't reccomend it enough. Its got great feel and last a long time. If you want grips that will last i suggest you stay away from Winn. They feel great but wear out very easily.

If you have to ask, you should pick the type of grip you like and have someone who knows what they're doing put them on. Grips and shafts come in different diameters and grips also have different thickness.

I was fitted about a year ago - and I don't think my hands have changed that much. I do best with a midsize grip - I like only one kind of grip - the Winn DSi and no others. I replace them only when they get worn out or lose too much of their tackiness.

But yeah, a good pro should be able to tell what size grip is best for you (although it is still partially personal preference.) Grip style is also entirely preference.

I regrip my clubs myself. Its a pain in the ass, but fun in a way. I mean, they are your little babies. You have to treat them right, take care of them. Over the years I've bought standard size grips, .58 core, and have experimented with amounts and placement of tape underneath.

I use crosslines on everything. Although I still have the original callaway grip, with reminder, on my 3 iron. ha. And the Hogan/Golf Pride tour velvet on my wedges. I like the tour velvets a lot though. I should really change my 3 iron. Crosslines are great.

I always liked the Avon Chamois grips. You know what, I'm going to get some tomorrow for my clubs. They were always known as a seniors type grip. But I liked them when I was a kid. Haven't even thought of these grips for forever. Good thread!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
