it is a taylor made golf shaft that has a smaller dia at the bottom of the grip .
The difference is ever so slight, it simply refers to the width of the end of the shaft. Most golf shafts have a dimater of .580 and only a few are .600. If you have a .600 shaft and a .580 grip it is very very difficult to get the grip on, so you should make sure you know the size of the shaft before you get the grip.
shaft my hubby says its a grip
If you mean it's slipping relative to the shaft, then it hasn't been installed properly. Grips are usually installed with double sided sticky tape, so the stickum is attached to the shaft and the grip. The installer attaches the tape to the shaft, wets the outside with a solvent, then slides the grip on. When the solvent evaporates the grip is stuck to the tape and the tape is stuck to the shaft, so nothing moves. If it is, the adhesive has failed (or was never installed correctly in the first place. Get the grip replaced at a golf repair shop. It's cheap.
You'll need the following: - a Stanley knife - two-sided golf grip tape - the new grip - some golf grip thinner 1. Cut off the old grip with the knife (be careful) 2. Remove the tape that's underneath it and is on the shaft 3. Cut a piece of the new golf tape the length of the golf grip 4. Leaving a 1/4" of tape over the top of the shaft, wrap the tape around it 5. Peel off the outer layer of the two sided tape 6. Pour a little thinner on the tape and make sure it's all covered 7. Pour a little thinner in the golf grip. Stick a tee in the butt end where the hole is. Put your thumb over the open end and shake the thinner in the grip so the inside gets coated. 8. Slide the grip on over the shaft. Press the butt hard to make sure its all the way on., 9. Align the markings on the grip with the clubface as desired 10. Leave for 24 hrs.
A 0.600 grip will have thinner walls than a 0.580. This sounds weird at first, but the 600 grip on a 600 shaft should be the same size as a 580 grip on a 580 shaft, so the walls have to be 0.010 thinner on each side. You could also get a ladies 580 grip, which will be a little smaller. No, they're not all pink. But be sure you don't get a 560, which would put you back in the same boat you're in now.
There is usually a small sticker, usually metallic, it is located near the top of the shaft just below the grip. It should tell you which one it is.
Yes, you can. The bubble shaft is thicker below the grip, but has a normal diameter at the butt end.
i have a Winn type of grip and it works great
Do you mean when you are waiting to tee off? Then the answer is no, you don't have to but you can do. You can hold it by the shaft, or hold the grip with the head on the ground.
Golf grip tape is currently a generic product. There are many manufacturers of double sided sided tape. It is simply a way of attaching a golf grip to a golf club.
No, the grip must conform to the rules of golf.
