Wedge shaft length?

[bortass]

My Irons are 1 inch longer then standard, which includes my PW. I bought Vokey GW and SW recently and was wondering if I should have the length changed to match my irons? The guy at the golf shop, not a large retailer BTW, said that you normally don't change the length. Just looking for additional validation on this.

 

I did have them bent to be 2* more upright to match my irons.

It all depends if you feel comfortable with them at the shorter length. It's pretty easy to drop a 1 inch extension in them.

Well I don't feel uncomfortable and I seem to hit them ok in my limited range time with them. But I also never noticed anything with my first set of clubs which were .5 inches shorter then standard either.

 

On a related note, do people have the grips changed to match? Sorry about thew noob questions.

An inch is a lot of shaft, but if they work that's great. I think it kind of depends on what you're going to be using them for. If it's a wedge that you'll hit a lot of full swings with, you may want to look at changing/extending the shaft. If it's more a half shot around the green deal it may not matter too much. Just my opinion though.

 

As far as grips go, remember the grip is your connection to the club and is often overlooked despite being so critical. Most people seem to have several diffrent brands/varities/conditions throughout their set. If you have a grip you love, get it done. If not, find one and get it done. I really like my lamkin cords and think it's worth an extra $$ per club to regrip. It's nice to have the same feel every time I grab a club. Except the putter, but I think that should be obvious. Once again, it's my opinion.
