So recently I switched my Driver and fairway woods to midsize grips, I really love them. All my irons and hybrids still have standard grips. I really like the way I am hitting my irons with standard grips, I have thought about switching them to midsize but I don't really want to mess with how well I am currently hitting them. Is this common for people to use different size grips on different clubs? Do you think it could hurt my golf game in the long run by using two different size grips? Do you think I should just swap to all midsize now and it could benefit my game?

If it works for you then no. Your taking about a small difference. Grip size doesn't influence the golf swing significantly.

Maybe try an experiment. Have one of those irons or hybrids re-gripped with a midsize. See how it works out for you. As far as I'm concerned, I want my grips the same size. My hands don't change size because of the club I'm swinging.

But, it might work out. You may have hit on a new Bryson DeChambeau moment! Clubs all different lengths, and all different grip sizes too!

My former driver came with a standard grip, and I kept it on despite having midsize grips on all other clubs. Sirsteveo, relax and enjoy it!

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Nearly two years later...I haven't practiced once.  I've been playing a lot, and enjoying it, but just haven't really thought about working on my swing to actually get better until the past couple weeks.  Honestly, it's been inspired a little by "teaching" a couple brand-new golfers to play, and seeing (and helping) them try to get better. I've scheduled a lesson with @iacas in Erie...I'm planning on actually getting back in the habit of improvement.  We'll see how it goes.
    • Pretty solid play for Saso. I enjoyed it. Meechai took a beating. That’s a US OPEN right there!
    • I have played two. I believe Southern Pines #9 should be on the list. 
    • I know this thread isn’t based on statistics, but this kind of logic doesn’t work when applied to a single specific case. First of all, these aren’t independent events, like a coin flip. You can’t just multiply the odds.  Second, we are only discussing this case BECAUSE it’s unusual. If something (“Team X wins 21 times in a row”) has a one-in-a-million shot at happening, but there are many similar events, it’s much more likely to happen at any ONE of them. To be clear, I don’t have an opinion either way about this specific Club, but the statistical arguments based on random independent events don’t have any relevance.   
    • A bit of summary from playing in the 2024 TST golf outing at The Virtues and Eaglesticks.  I feel like I am starting to figure things out a bit. Especially off the tee. 1st was a bit of a set up change. I lowered my hands a bit, and started to address the ball off the heel with the driver. This helped me to take the high toe ball out of play. I was wearing a spot out on the driver in the high toe area. Next was feeling like I was staying super tall through the downswing. Basically forcing me to get my hands down from the top of the swing better. Finally, realizing I have a lot of swing path before I start pulling the ball left. I was hitting pretty good big pushes off the tee. I didn't have to worry about hitting giant pulls or pull draws if I got my hands down better. It really helped free me up.  Irons are pretty solid right now.  Something I need to work on is full swing wedge shots or partial wedge shots. I am shanking these at a non-negligible  rate. Something with those shots is just off.  No other irons have I come close to shanking it. You give me like 60-100 yards. A yardage I can't really pitch it with a 60, 56, or 52 degree. It's like 33% shank rate. I didn't have another one of these shots. I was about to go to a PW and just pitch it from now on. Set Up: Less reverse K tilt at set up. Lower hands. Especially with the longer clubs and driver.  Backswing: Fling the club back with the turn, and feel it collect to a stop around A3. Backswing length is still a thing to monitor.  Do not rush the downswing. Feel things stop. I can rush the downswing by making the bad body movement to shallow the club instead of using my arms correctly.  Downswing: Feeling of staying tall through out the downswing. Get hands down. Feel like my head doesn't lower or tilt back.  It's like the upper center (chest area) stays very tall.  Putting, I did better when I started to feel some separation in the shoulders. Like, activating each shoulder separately for the back stroke and forward stroke. Feeling it more in the shoulder blades, and less in the torso. Though, I did make one of the worst back strokes ever on a 3-4 FT putt, but somehow still made it. It was kind of interesting thinking at the back of my back stroke, that was horrible. Then just hitting it in the hole.
