It's not the grip it's an over sized shaft thats the problem

I never realised you could get oversized shafts? I thought any adjustments were done using standard/midsize/jumbo grips.
 
Not that I've ever had the need to look, but I've been told the grip size is stamped on the inside of the grip at the bottom. Did you have a look at one of the old grips that came off, or do you still have them to have a look?

I would have said acetone would have ruined the new grips, but if the pro tried standard grips she had in stock then it's a mystery!
 
Have you considered sticking a tape measure or a pair or vernieres over the end of the shaft to find out what the exact diameter is?
I mean call me mr stupid but if you're having such bother it would be the first thing I'd check.
 
I remember Taylor Made used to make 0.8 shafts

Yes I remember them, I think you had to order special TM grips only as they were thinner to maintain grip thickness?

The OP said the pro tried standard Lamkin grips and they didn't fit so the shafts must be oversized

He also said the shafts are standard Ping ones :confused:

If the shafts are standard and the the grips are standard they will fit but they dont so they aren't.
And if the pro cant fit a set of standard lamkins on the shafts.........

I'm very dubious about the whole thing Bob, as you will be well aware there is a little knack to putting on the grip at an angle until you slide it completely over the end of the shaft. I'm wondering if this 'pro' actually knows how to do it :confused:
