thanks for all your replies but now a simple question can I have a putter grip fitted to a chipping club,im thinking of one of those new thicker grips,the round ones,would this be conforming? to the rules?

No - Someone will tell you the ruling and the number, but I understand you can only have one club fitted with a putter grip in the bag.

I don't know the answer to your question but I would be surprised if you couldn't. As long as there are no 'grip alignment aids' on it surely it would be ok? But, like I said I don't know.

I don't see where it states you couldn't do it (provided the grip is circular in cross section). I can see that you can't use a non circular grip except for on a putter. I might have missed it though.

If your putter grip was circular, it would just be a grip on a putter and the OP wouldn't be making a differentiation between the two.

Another bloody daft rule from the R&A IMO

Are the superstrokes slims not round? so arguably you could have them on all 14 clubs if you wanted?

I thought they were slightly off round but could be wrong

I'm not 100% either, but for the sake of the question, lets say they ARE round? you could use them on all 14 clubs?

I don't see why not, but I wouldn't recommend it
No either would I! but was just intrigued!

Even if they were round are they straight?
(thinking of the slight pistol shape/grip that many putter grips have)

He's not differentiating though, he says it would be a round one. Dunno why you would wanna do it mind you.
Not being pedantic here btw, just curious as to how anyone can say that's a putter grip and you can't use it......provided its circular of course!

These non-tapered grips are available if that is better for the OP

Why not just get some jumbo lambkins or something and put a crap load of tape with it?

Just a thought, a lot of standard grips have a spine down the back to help with grip alignment. So technically are not truly round.
