Are Callaway grips generally a bit thin?

March 2024 ยท 2 minute read
Hi all. I'm just getting back into golf and bought some new Callaway Diablo Edge irons. The grips feel a bit on the thin side for my hands and my coach agreed and said that Callaway irons tend to come with slightly thinner grips. Has anyone else heard this?

As it happens, American Golf have their Tour Bus visiting locally and I've booked a session partly to look at the grip fit. Assuming I do need a thicker grip, would I be better off getting another layer of tape under my existing grips, which are as new or get some new grips fitted? The Tour Bus will fit any grips I buy FOC or the store I bought the clubs from will add a layer of tape for a small fee so there wouldn't be much difference in cost.

If the recommendation is for new grips, as a beginner would it be worth paying extra for something like Golf Pride VDR grips over Tour Velvet grips? I only mention these in particular because they seem to be popular. I'll be looking at playing/practising once or twice a week at most, if that makes any difference.

I've read some info on grip sizing and the effect it has on ball flight, but my shots aren't consistent enough yet for this to be a clear indicator although my well struck shots do tend to have a bit of draw on them. I don't have massive hands either, but I do use large gloves.

I would appreciate any advice. Thanks, John
