Hi,
I am trying to figure out what size grips to buy.
I wear a small cadet glove, and most ladies grips feel about right in my hands. All my shafts should be cut down .5", but I'm waiting for Winter.
Meanwhile, I have been playing by choking down on my grips by about .5" to make the shaft shorter and the grip smaller.
All my shafts are .600 except for my hybrid which is a .625.
All the ladies/undersized grips I have found are all .580 core sized.
It is my understanding that a .580 core grip on a .600 shaft would produce both a slightly larger grip and a firmer grip. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have also heard that nowadays it is standard procedure to install a .580 grip on a .600 shaft which makes a slightly oversized grip, but not quite midsized. The grips on my driver and 3-wood are definitely .580's but the grips on my irons aren't marked (mizuno branded tour velvets).
Am I better off putting standard men's .600 grips on my shafts or .580 ladies grips on my shafts, which will be smaller in final diameter?
Also, I guess I'm stuck putting whatever grip I end up choosing on my .625 hybrid too, which will run a little bigger than everything else in my bag?
Thanks in advance,
