midsize golf grips

[markgs]

I just been on golf pride website as i have been finding my grips seem a little small in my hand put my sizes in and it said midsize required. I think this is about correct as my driver grip is midsize and feels good. does anyone know how many layers of masking tape required to make a standard grip midsize

What size core grip on what butt diameter shaft?

What size glove do you wear?

just buy the midsize and be done with it !!

If you ever have to regrip and peel off multiple layers of griptape, you'll be glad you did.

Don't know about masking tape but about 4 or 5 layers of grip tape I believe. Not sure how thick masking tape comes up in comparison.

Edit; Should have added that this is the case where the butt and core size are the same. Less layers if the butt is greater than the core, more if the core is greater than the butt.

I normally always put 2 layers of tape and makes it about right for me but you mite need 3

few pros told me never ever use extra layers of grip take to build up ALWAYS use mask tape

Its not really that simple.

If you put a .58 core midsize on a .62 shaft you'll have getting on for a jumbo grip.

Hence my opening question.

Probably more cost effective.

I always use masking tape when I build my grips up to 1/32" oversize.

0.600 gareth

0.600 gareth

1/16" oversize (midsize) would be 4 layers of build up tape plus one layer of grip tape.

No worries pal :thup:

.60 on a .60 shaft. 6 layers of build up tape, plus 1 layer grip tape is 1/16" oversize.

I use 2" making tape to build up my grips :thup:

Before I went Midsize, I had a golf club fitter (Used to work in the Cleveland tour van and built clubs for a lot of pros) build me up a standard set to midsize, I believe he used 4 layers of grip tape in total.

Quite possibly.

That would have been a .58 core grip on a .60 shaft.
