I use the AeroJet max driver head with the stock regular flex shaft and my typical shot shape was usually straight, baby fade or a wild slice which progressively got worse even when I tried Jumbo Max grips. I then started experimenting with different shafts that were a tad shorter (43.75 - 44"). I settled with a Helium 5F3 (lighter) regular flex shaft and dialed in my loft settings.

About ten years ago (before it was cool) I got bigger grips put on all my clubs. I’m pretty tall and have big hands and was playing super thin grips and my local pro told me to put some fatter ones on next time I needed a regrip, I was so naive I didn’t even know they made different sizes I thought they only had different styles. Anyway I put some big grips on ( not as big as the ones in the video but much bigger than what I was using) and stopped wearing a glove (I’m left handed so it was always a pain to find one in the size I needed so I just ditched the glove altogether) and my game improved significantly. Considering I did literally nothing to my swing, didn’t upgrade clubs, etc, all I did was get more of my hand on the club and went from about a 12 to a 9. That’s a dramatic difference for changing something so simple. Of course I’ll never go back to smaller grips, I gained so much confidence with them that I ended up getting professional lessons and got my handicap down to around 3 for a while. I’m sitting around 6.5 now cause I just don’t play as much but I tell anyone that will listen to make sure they not only have fresh grips (because too many guys let them wear down to nothing) but to also get them sized correctly especially if you’re a bigger guy and have large hands. I told all the guys in my league etc years ago that grips were gonna be the next big thing in golf and they thought I was crazy and I never let them forget it now.

Glad you gave these another go with an appropriate size. Been playing Jumbomax since 2020. Having played both I’d say the ultralite (I play the STR8 Tech version - there are multiple versions now including the Zen Lite which’ll feel more like what you’ll be used to) is the way to go as it won’t alter the swing weight unlike the Tour series you and Pete went with. They’ll be easier to transfer to as well. If you consider how many pros outside Bryson (Also Ultralite not Tour series) who have built up grips e.g. Big Tone, Scotty, Bubba etc with layers and layers of tape (Finau 14?) you’ve got to wonder how standard size with one layer of tape actually fits anyone. I still fight a left miss with them though so interesting the feelings about eliminating the left side. Probably says more about my swing though to be fair. Anyway, I think Rick, if you went ultralite you’d never go back and wonder how you ever played with pencil size grips. I’d be interested to see what your short game guy Dan Grieve would make of them also.

Being a former hockey player which is a lot of wrist movement i was alot like Rick in which I had a lot of unnecessary movement. Now with the jumbos I can feel the difference.

So far I really like the Standard Jumbo and the XS is good too, but I think next season I am going to switch my irons to the Standard Jumbo. They are a few grams lighter, still plenty thick that I can play without a glove if I want and it is way more comfortable than a typical lampkin.

I have GolfPride midsize MCC +4 on my irons and Lamkin midsize on the sand wedge. Need to update the driver and wood which are still standard and I absolutely notice an improvement with the slightly larger grips. I wouldn't go to jumbo but midsize should definitely be considered instead of standard. My driver has a Kahli white shaft which is very slim at the grip and I notice the difference compared to my irons. One aspect to be aware of when increasing the size of the grips is the weight. Your swingweight will decrease which will either need to be compensated with more weight added to the head or a slight change in your swing timing. It also explains the increase in swing speed as the club is now 'lighter' as the larger grip changes the counterbalance.

Brysons grips?? I was first thinking of Peter Finch!! (Go Finchie) He has been rocking these grips for a while now. Also inspired by Bryson. I believe it helped him reduce/ prevent wrist injuries as well! The way you play with them…, keep them on!!! 💪🏼

The Guys from PXG Golf did a complete test on thicker grips and proved that if you suffered hooking the ball, thicker grips reduced that to almost nothing. I have the Golf Pride CP2 jumbo wraps on my clubs and cannot remember the last time I hit a hook.

There is a natural tension release in the forearms, just holding a larger diameter golf grip. I would seriously consider using Jumbo Grips. I am using oversized Winn Drytac 2 grips now and they are a considerable improvement over regular grips.

Use them Rick. I haven't seen you play with this much enjoyment for a loooong time.
@mikes59182 ай бұрын
I would also recommend the firmer textured style that they have...I think the JMX zen light. They feel more like a regular grip and not quite as soft/squishy as the the regular jumbo max grips

the website fitted me for Mediums as well, but after about a month I ended up going down to XS to help get some of the right ball flight out of it and I love em!!!!

hi Rick I think that was the best wedge play iv'e seen you play I really think you should keep them on your wedges .Getting up and down from around the greens always helps your score .
@kevingowdy36512 ай бұрын
Liked this Rick. I changed my driver, 3 wood and putter to thicker grips. Didn't increase my distance any but did give me much more confidence in ball striking, especially my 3 wood 👏👏

I play the jumbo Max ultra light extra small grip on my driver only. That's the one that fits my hand. I always had that weak slice.... It's funny because this grip has straightened my ball flight as I am concentrating more on getting through the ball, and avoid that lazy swing that creates that weak fade. I love the jungle Max ultra lite grip. 👍👍
@davidreardon91302 ай бұрын
Rick great video, whatever about irons and driver If I were you I'd be considering leaving them on your wedges. That's the best tempo and most confident I've seen you chip. Well done
@paulharris63352 ай бұрын
Hi Rick, loved this review, can I ask, is it something that you would maybe consider just on your wedges (you seemed to chip more confidently in this video) or would you not have different thicknesses in the bag, does it need to be all the same, just wondering? Keep up the good work. Cheers from Saltcoats, Scotland.

Thankyou for doing it right and getting them fitted. I've had the small and xs put on my clubs....best thing I ever did...give them time you will love them to

Great to see you wearing a clothing brand that was started in my home town 👌 Think im gonna try the jumbo grips also. They'd definitely help my game. Nice one Rick cheers ✔👍

I think it is worth you doing a proper grip fitting with the jumbomax team because they can help you find the correct size AND ideal grip type since they have a few different types of grips with varing masses and tapers. I use the large ultralite grips on my wedges and irons and use the medium straight tech on my driver. i’m an xl glove size. I’d also like to add tghat i’m 19 and don't suffer from any hand/ wrist pains. John Daly agrees that thicker grips improve your game without question so maybe they’re worth investing into.

I had this left problem, with a super draw. In the last fitting, I had Plus 4 mcc grips fitted and this fixed it. So maybe not too extreme but thicker grips do help

I only have a Large/Medium glove size and I play with midsize grips and my forearms feel so much better, I can hit forever. With standard grips no matter how hard I tried to not grip too hard I'd get super tight forearms which ended up leading to cubital tunnel syndrome. I eventually plan on moving to at least Jumbo (or Standard Jumbo is what JumboMax calls it) or XS in JumboMax, but I want to get a little better first... plus the one thing I really dislike about JumboMax is how annoying it can be to put the grips on. You have to absolutely drench everything in solvent to stand a chance.

I've used midsize grip for a while now, and they help my hands not hurt so bad. I use the SuperStroke Cross Comfort midsize grips.

I tried them - hardest thing was turning over the driver and 3W. Beyond that I like them. I was with XL and probably should have had Large or Medium.

i put a normal jumbo golf pride cp2 wrap on my wedge, soo much better feel when chipping and full shot, not ready to do my irons yet

rick make the switch, you can adapt your game to change overtime. Being even par on such a windy day, being happy and joyful during the round chipping off the green, damn hole seven was a good birdie. the chipping was great. a few bad shots but some were from miscalculations. this is an easy yes drop the bias

I switched to the jumbo xl grips after your last video. Im consistently shooting 5-8 strokes lower since switching
@drknudy2 ай бұрын
Hey Rick! I am switching from hitting a draw for years back to a fade, which is my natural shot shape. One of the hardest parts of the transition is committing to aiming to the left side and trusting the fade, but it is really just as simple as that. You did not miss left once in the video and have completely eliminated the left side. Play the fade and change your setup/aim to accommodate the ball flight.

Been using jumbomax for three months, it took time, but im starting to miss left again when my back hurts and my arms takes over trough impact just like it used too ,,but when i feel fresh and body moves freely I get a control of the ballflight i never had before. In the beginning i found it harder to shape the ball. It takes time getting used too, my hands did hurt for a while. I was considering moving back to normal grips for a while, but as time passes i doubt it will happen, ,....need a bigger bag though,...

I am impressed most by your ability to not sweat (and make) all the 4 footer putts. I'm so hit and miss on those and it def. costs me pars sometimes.

I really wanna try these but don't wanna struggle puting and pulling clubs in and out the bag lol, I have a fairly medium large cart bag already and keep extra tees and sleeves of balls in the bag as well as a ball grabber and a cart tarp to cover the clubs when it rains as well as my rain jacket. My bag is pretty full and don't know if I have enough extra space for massive grips lol

You seem to be using the Tour Series - the green ones? According to a website I'm looking at, they're quite heavy, more than twice the weight of the UltraLites. 98gm for the mediums. This would be throwing your swing weights way out, every extra 5 gms at the grip end = 1 swingweight lighter. The UltraLite mediums are apparently 45gm.
@techvelo2 ай бұрын
I especially love mine on the wedges, because they work just like large grips on putters reducing the amount you push or pull on miss hits.
@mikeowusu11212 ай бұрын
As a natural fader , I think these clubs are great for you. But that’s only IF your trying to play the cut from now on. To do so you have to change how you see the ball shape and change your starting line . Which could be difficult since you are a natural drawer. Especially off the tee. Once you do , you’ll be scoring. Good luck. You missing right is a lot better then missing miles left imo. Enjoy you seem more at ease.
