Golf Iron Awards
If I'm going to regrip my clubs, how do I know what size...?
I am swinging some old school Ping Zing irons which I absolutely love. Stiff, steel and heavy. The Golf Pride Tour Wraps are getting a bit old however and starting to crack. How do I know whether to purchase (off of eBay of course) the .58 or .60 size grips? I can't find any markings on the shaft or current grips.
Thank you.
BTW, of course I could ask a pro. But if I could save the trip in the rain and award you 10 points...why not?
Thanks again my friends.
P.S.
A guy I work with swears by Griptec but it sounds like he just likes them bc he didn't have to use any solvent or tape. Any reviews?
@ thumbs you're not looking to do something you can't handle and you can look to Golfsmith to supply you with a grip kit which includes everything you need for installation. The .580 and.600 refers to the size of the butt end of your club and your pings will require a .600 grip size. If you wear a size small or medium glove go without building up the grip. Medium large you might consider one layer of masking tape.
Size large go with one layer of masking tape for sure and if X-large is your size you'll want 2 layers of masking tape. The masking tape layers are in addition to the grip tape you'll use. Don't be tempted to build your grips up too much because the trade off for feel just isn't worth it. I have been using Golfsmith's version of the half cord and find them to be the equal of any of the other grips out there. Good luck with your project and I hope this helps.

Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Set $1099.95 Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Set Scratch AR-1 Irons are forged from the same soft 1018 carbon steel as our wedges. The AR-1 irons are designed to offer maximum playability and forgiveness in a cavity back with the looks of a traditional muscle back blade at address. The center of gravity is in the center of the face and further back towards the trailing edge. The cavity design is progressive and has a lower COG in the long irons to help get the ball in the air. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Heads Scratch AR-1 irons are forged from 1018 carbon steel, the softest steel used by anyone making golf clubs today. The raw heads are then ground and finished completely by hand. The end result is the finest hand made forged traditional cavity back irons in golf, customized for your game. The headshape of the AR-1 irons was inspired by Scratch's work with Tour Pros from around the globe. Specific attention was paid to the transition from the middle irons to the short irons to assure perfect flow throughout the set from the 3 iron down to the PW. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Grooves The AR-1 irons feature our new 2010 "Condition of Competition" legal V grooves. These grooves are legal for play in any tournament in the world so you never have to worry about taking your favorite set of Scratch irons out of the bag because the groove rule has changed. These grooves are designed to have the maximum amount of groove surface while still adhering to the new USGA rules. This reduces flier lies and provides more consistent spin and performance. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Finish AR-1 irons feature Scratch?s Brushed Satin finish. This finish provides the durability of chrome with a duller surface to help eliminate glare. The minimal stampings of the AR-1 irons provide a very clean look unique to the Scratch Golf brand and allow for personal stampings to be added to customize the clubs for the player. Scratch Golf AR-1 Iron Heads Scratch Golf AR-1 irons feature the KBS Tour as our standard shaft. These shafts are designed by legendary shaft designer Kim Braley and are the culmination of his years of shaft design experience. These shafts have a slightly higher launch angle but a more boring ballflight overall. This makes them easier to swing and more forgiving while also giving them better ballflight into the wind. They feature a consistent taper design in a stepped shaft and are more workable and have better feel on partial shots |

Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Set $1099.95 Scratch Golf EZ-1 Iron Set Scratch Golf EZ-1 Irons are forged from the same soft 1018 carbon steel as our wedges. The EZ-1 irons are designed for absolute maximum forgiveness in a one piece forged head. The center of gravity is very low and far back towards the trailing edge. The blade is longer from heel to toe and the weight is pushed far out towards the edges of the club. This makes the EZ-1 irons as forgiving as any of the larger oversized irons on the market today. Despite their extreme forgiveness and playability the EZ-1 irons retain a traditional look at address with a thin topline and classic shape.
