Do any companies still manufacture wedge grips that were designed to be a little longer than standard grips - for choking down a bit more?
I wanted to use one for an experiment with a utility club I have. Anyone have any experience with them?

I have some on my glide wedges and really like them. They were noticable at first, but not at all now. I purchased some replacement grips last year (I think) through TGW, but I'm not sure they're still carrying them. Look to be available from Ping though... https://ping.com/en-us/shop/grips/iron-grips/dylawedge-grip
In addition to the Ping one, carried by Golfworks, Lamkin also has a model https://www.golfworks.ca/lamkin-crossline-1150-golf-grip/p/lk0193/
Value Golf has them.

Hireko had a round non-tapered Karma black and white wrap putter grip several years back that was 17" or 19". They were on clearance for the longest time. Every time I ordered something, I'd add a couple of those and a couple of those $1.49 Dynacraft headcovers. I must have at least a dozen of those grips. Used to put them on my wedges. One of the older local pros, who taught out of a driving range we used to frequent, used to rib me about them. But I finally got him to try one, and how easy it was to grip down, and the next time I saw him, he asked if I had any. The only problem is they could be too long for the shaft taper, so they wouldn't stick at the bottom unless you built up a few layers.
They were easily shortened, and you could use an old fashioned grip color or whipping to finish them off. Since they were a wrap, I figured the underlistings could be used if you had leather grips you wanted to salvage from other clubs.
I've been a Lamkin Crossline guy for a long time. Recently I gave the Golf Pride Tour Velvet +4 a try and like it a lot. I also noticed that they are longer than the Crosslines.
