    Well the grips are applied. I only have the equipment for the double sided with solvent technique, and ill tell you the Gamola grips were extremely hard going with the 3 papers.

    2 of the grips didn't make it all the way to the butt(about 5mm short). I will be getting a compressor in the next week or so, so I will fix them up.

    The grips awesome!

    Those Gamola leather grips are excellent! I bought an extra 15 as spares, just in case I do any HOing (not that I would ever do that )

    How do I tell if I have regular or mid sized grips on my current set of clubs?

    'Most' midsize grips say so on the end of the grip...however, they may just be standard size grips built up with tape to midsize!

    Get them measured might be a good start

    Any of you V2 experts know the length of an untipped V2 from the tip to the break between the silver and orange paint?

    Got a 47" (yep, that long!) 07 Burner TP that measures 488mm from the base of the ferrule to said paintbreak, and want to know whether it's likely to have not been tipped (I'm assuming not, since they are 46" raw length). I know UST says in their specs pages not to tip trim for a driver, but I wouldn't mind tipping to get the flex a little stiffer.

    So you're measuring from the ferrule base that joins flush to the hosel, not the top of the ferrule right?

    It's not computing for me. Tip to the silver is 19 7/8. You'd have 1 3/8 insertion in the 07 TP. 488mm is 19 1/4 inches so you've got 19 1/4 + 1 3/8 = 20 5/8. That's 3/4 more than it should have LOL. Either your measure is wrong or i misunderstand or it's a different version to the standard?

    TNO have you got the depth of the hosel right? That seems alittle deep. Also it could have lost its plug and maybe another plug has been inserted at the end of the hosel which could be changing the figures.

    Done 3 or so 2007 TP's and other TM driver models Tom and they have always been 1 3/8. One model almost touched 1.5, can't remember which one. Just recked a 2007 V1 now and if it's not 1 3/8 it's 1 5/16.

    Smallest insertion i've seen in a driver was a couple of Cleves at 1 1/8. It's like he's got one of these specials that Titty used to have of the NV's, an inch longer tip for the bore thru.

    I just checked the measurement again...definitely 488mm (can't find a tape measure around here with inches on it). Length from butt of grip (standard GPTV) to the same spot is 608mm if that helps any.

    Either way I'll get Virge to look at it next week when I'm over his way.

    Ok, youve got a weird version. Uncut butt to that spot allowing 1/8 or so for grip is 665mm so you've got 2 1/4 cut off the butt. The V2's are 46. On an original you've have 43 3/4 left which would play at 45 7/8, yet it's 47. Must be a made for (which did actually happen in the V2 from memory) or maybe a Titty type model with an inch extra tip. I know they had NV's supplied as such and i do remember them using the V2 around the time.

    I know there was a made for V2 in some Nickents, but the specs that are printed on the shaft are identical to the 6060 stiff. So that helps me in my puzzlement

    Hahaha, you've got a rare one. If it's a titty escapee it would be playing so soft in a 2007 TP head it would not be funny. Like over an inch too much tip soft.

    Yeah, that's about right. It feels very noodly indeed. Funny thing is that it was apparently used to great effect at a local long drive competition.

    Not sure if this is the right thread for this but...

    How do you know what size grips you need? I'm getting a set of Pure grips from RBG but not sure if I want mid size or regular. I would daresay most of what I use is regular. I know I got a few papers put under my driver grip when I got it replaced as it was previously a Winn Excel grip, and the new grip was a regular Lamkin crossline grip.

    Pure grips are pure crap. Super slippery.
