Why or how are lamkin 0.580 grips heavier than .600?

Not 100% sure but if they are the same external diameter.... think about it.

So the hole in the middle doesn't weigh less then?

Lol. Are you serious, joking or did you just get in from "happy hour". .600 is a larger diameter therefore the grip is essentially a thinner wall than the smaller diameter .580 which would have a thicker wall if it has the same external diameter. Right? Am I missing something? Cobra owns Titleist?

Ez has it here. The hole might be bigger or smaller, but the grip weighs more.

Think of two pieces of pipe. They have 2 foot and 3 foot inner diameters respectively, but the pipe of the 2 foot is 4 inches thick while the 3 footer is 1" thick.

It's pretty obvious which weighs more.

You're making sense, Ez (at least to me). I was thinking the same reason when I read the question. I could see the .6" weighing more if the outer diameter was proportionately larger as well but not if it is the same.

Yes I was joking with the hole bit tahnks for the explanation,seems obvious now,but still strange.I want a smaller lighter grip,but I get a smaller heavier one

A .580 grip put on a .600 butt shaft will actually be larger than a .600 grip on a .600 but again citing the thickness of the actual grip.
