Grip sizing question

[cristphoto]

How many extra wraps of grip tape (not build-up tape) do I need to make a .600 size grip feel the same size as a .580 size grip? They are both the same model grip only the core is different.  Thanks.

I understand it's 4 wraps from standard to mid, 4 wraps from mid to jumbo, etc etc

Thanks for the reply but I don't want to make them mid or oversize. I just want them to feel like my normal setup which is 580 grip on 600 butt with one wrap of 2 inch wide grip tape. I've used this configuration for years and have become used to it. I ask because I'm having trouble finding my normal grip (GP Tour Wrap 2G) in 580 size. Everybody only has the 600 size.

The GolfPride site has a FAQ section. You can see from the chart that your original setup, 580 grip on 600 butt adds 1/64th in thickness or about 0.016". Using a 600 grip on 600 butt is std or 1/64th smaller. So you would just need to add a second wrap of tape to get it to be +1/64th.

Grip size can have a visible effect upon your shot pattern and shaping, so proper grip size is very important. The sizing chart below shows how mixing grip core size with shaft size can “customize” grips. Also, grips can be built up by adding wraps of tape to the shaft – one wrap will increase grip size by 1/64, two wraps 1/32, etc. Or the easy way to achieve an oversized grip is to start with one of Golf Pride’s Midsize models. And no guesswork is needed

	On Shaft:
Grip Size:	.560	.580	.600	.620	.690 +
56	Std.	+1/64	+1/32	NR	NR
58	-1/64	Std.	+1/64	+1/32	NR
60	NR	-1/64	Std.	+1/64	NR
62	NR	NR	-1/64	Std.	NR

Its odd to me that a grip manufacturer sizes its grips in decimals, but posts this table in fractions.  A  580 grip on a 600 shaft SHOULD be 0.020 inches oversize, which rounds closest to 1/64.  From what I remember, a single wrap of masking tape increases the shaft diameter by 0.010 inches, so you'd need two wraps of tape.  You can also look at this chart for other conversions:

That's strange because around here all I find are the .580 grips, which is why I would order them online. Is that what you are trying to do? I know Lamkin offers both sizes on their site but no idea for other grips.

You can order them from GolfWorks, GP Tour Wrap 2G standard .580 core, in black only
