Anyone ever get a club from the factory with a ribbed grip that was put on wrong..

My new custom made SW was so closed, I had to laugh..

The last time this happened to me was with a Ping Putter - with a Leather grip that PING screwed up.. Not only that, PING put on a Titleist Wrap and sent it to me.. I had called the factory and it appears that PING recieved the wrong shipment of leather wraps and the club builder that installed it - never said anything to anyone. So much for quality control anymore..

Yep!! Got my two wedges re-gripped at the local pro-shop and both came back very closed. So bad, I took them back and got him to re-do them!

Oh yeah, including my MP62s about 2 weeks ago.

Biggest one was when I briefly flirted with Callaway. Ordered a set of X Tours which normally came with round grips and logos down. So did the set I ordered with ribbed grips except the logo was still down which meant the rib was up, a neat 180 degrees off.

I now routinely tell any pro doing a regrip that if they are having problems getting the rib square that they should err on the side of open.
