He said you should get fitted for grips, not necessarily get fatter ones. Telling people to get fatter grips would be like telling a football team they should all play in size 11 boots. Also, don't forget that John Daly is paid by Superstroke. If it was as simple as everybody gets bigger grips and plays better, do you not think you'd see a change within the professional realms of golf? They would have done it years ago.

I’m a senior golfer, with arthritis in my right hand. I tried everything to play without pain, then a year ago I moved to Jumbomax wrapped swing grip.

I fan boy'd the Bryson DeChambeau method. Swapped all my grips to JumboMaxx XL and went with one length clubs for everything in the bag. Before this, the best round I had ever shot was a 93. I shot a career low 81 this week. 2 over par on the front 9! These grips and the Bryson method did wonders for my golf game! Only golfing for 3 years so being able to almost break 80 was crazy!

There is actually a really good write up on the web that suggests Bryson's same length wedges hurt his chipping game. He had better chipping numbers early in his college career when using shorter wedges than he does now. In fact, his chipping numbers are so low that they fall around those that are ranked around 50-70 on tour even though he's easily a top 10 in the world.

[@kwjang12]

Seriously Rick. That's some good golf I saw there. So many of your videos I'm waiting for the left ball that always comes. But not with the jumbomax. I've also switched to jumbomax grips. Not the medium sized ones but they're significantly bigger than any standard grip. My reason is to take pressure off my aging hands. I can't go back. From what I see from your golf with those grips, you should play a full 18 committing to the new lines and see what happens. Softening your draw or hook looks good..

[@pedroc6823]

Don’t be afraid to go to a size down just for the driver.

[@repemaensivu2607]

I was a slicer. Changed to jumbomax and swings are straight or baby fade. So suits even for a slicer.

[@jpdst29]

I was hoping larger grips would help with my slice as well, but instead, it just made it worse. I’m glad it worked for you.

[@Milkywaymike]

@@jpdst29 It might be a shaft issue... 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. I rarely ever slice now! Shafts, shaft weight and club head weight along with your swing path play pretty big roles in ball flight, more-so than grip size.

[@jpdst29]

@@Milkywaymike Thanks for the info. I will have to check out those things. 😃

[@markkropf8295]

As a subscriber who has watched you play many rounds of golf, your playing even with your misses to the right gives me way more confidence in your game then normal. If I had to bet money on your game when it mattered I would trust the jumbo grips. Learning to manage a one way miss is so much better than a two way miss.

[@NickLoPiccolo]

Ricks game seems to be on another level lately. Love it!

[@paulbrusuelas6706]

It's really interesting, I'm a pretty long time viewer and I feel this year is the best I've seen him play since before the pandemic.

[@delhump22]

I played with jumbomax grips for a full year. I hit every club through the bag about 10-15 yards further, but I noticed shots that would typically fade were over-fading, and slices were WAY more severe. It's something to get used to, but there's definitely something to be said about gains in clubhead speed. I can see them being great for someone who consistently pulls/hooks the ball.

[@hansdampf2104]

I switched a few weeks ago to Golfpride Jumbos. The are 30g heavier than the normal size. Changed my swingweight from D1 to maybe C3 or something. I gained the same distance like you but i can hit the clubs now slower and more precise for the same length than before. But it’s true there is more tendency to slice or fade the ball with longer clubs but I grip a bit stronger now an can compensate is.

[@loutorres1965]

Weight of the grip has a lot to do with slices and hooks

Had some left wrist pain (right handed golfer) for about a year or two. I gave the jumbo grips a try and my wrist pain did in fact go away! Personally, I hate that the clubs do not fit well in the golf bag, but at least I can play without my wrists hurting! Great video Rick!

[@steelyd2]

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.

[@esoteridactyl]

Idk how thick your hands are but I have pretty long hands and I have started using the Claw gloves and they fit really well plus give you extra grip.

[@steelyd2]

@@esoteridactyl so I have pretty thin hands that’s the problem. I’m 6’1” and have really long fingers but my hand isn’t big it’s thin plus I’m a left handed golfer so my option for gloves generally isn’t as varied as righties. If I get a large the fingers are long enough but it’s too wide so I can barely get it to stay closed with the Velcro, if I get a medium, it’s the perfect width but it’s way too short in the fingers. It’s like I need to order a specialty size or something which I’m sure is probably available online now I’ve just been playing without a glove for so long that I don’t miss it I don’t even really think about. That being said thanks for the recommendation I’m gonna go look these up right now and see if I can find a size that works and give it a try.

[@ianchettleburgh4744]

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.

Best pitching and chipping i have ever seen you do !!! your irons and knock downs were excellent , too me the first 2 or 3 drives looked like cut swings and not caused by the grips, the drive you tried to draw looked way more like your natural swing , its good that it feels so different , if it didn't you would probably hit your same shots and lastly no one says you have to have the same grips on all 13 clubs maybe try the next size smaller on your driver and 3 wood and this size on the rest of your irons !!

I just switched to jumbo grips on my new clubs driver to 60degree and I’ve seen a noticeable difference in my game right away. I was averaging plus 4-5 on 9 holes consistently. After switching to the jumbos I dropped 2-3 shots off my game. Now shooting 1-3 over consistently. 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. My misses left and right are a lot less noticeable and I can feel my wrists almost locking in place rather than turning through my swing 👌 highly recommended anyone especially people with bigger hands switch to jumbos or bigger depending on hand size!

Honestly the best golf I've ever seen u play ! Any change in golf feels "weird". I just put Jumbo grips on my set and have only played 2 rounds with them. Absolutely loving them. 0 regrets.

I've played standard grips, then went up to Jumbo Max JMX UltraLite Small +1/4 for a few months, then switched my irons to the UltraLite XS +3/16 and experimented with my driver which I finally settled with the UltraLite Standard Jumbo +1/8. 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. A basic lampkin grip on a new club feels like I'm holding a pencil now compared to my Jumbo Max grips.

[@brettboston463]

Funny, I find it much easier to get the club head square at impact, when I first got jumbo max grips I went from drawing everything to push fades, it was because I used to have a slightly open club face at address to reduce my draw. Turned the club face in a bit and tada! Hit them so much more accurately than before! Which is a bonus because I recently switched to jumbo max grips due to wrist problems and they have been the reason I can now play regularly again after 3-4 years of struggle

I don't know why these golf youtubers do this...........put on some new grips of any size or make to review, play only 9-18 holes and give an opinion as to why these are or aren't for them by playing only a few hours with them!!!! I have the Jumbo Max Ultra lites size sml and have had to play a full year to really get a good feel of them!!

My hands were always sore--so bad I could not shake hands without pain. I switched to jumbo grips 15 years ago and...1) my hands never bother me. 2) I lost no distance, I think I gained distance. 3) Like a large putter grip, I think it helps me to "square" the club head at impact. Downside...NONE. BTW, I am 6hdcp and play with blades--when I play enough I get down to 3 hdcp. I mention this because mis-hits with blades can hurt. Again, the oversized grips minimize the discomfort but still give the blade feel and feedback. Center hits are BUTTER of course.

[@robdean5464]

Ive been gaming the medium zen lites for a few weeks now and i will never go back to midsize ones. I was skeptical about them at first because i can slice one into Jumanji but with these grips its actually controlling the slice which you wouldn't think would so my advice is order one up and put it on your favorite iron for a few weeks and see how you get on. Thats what i did and never looked back

[@BermyBwoy]

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.

[@jumpthegunblues]

Go for the comfort wrap XS. I filled the online questionnaire and it came up with jumbomax xl. Put one on my driver and could hardly keep hold of it. Went and ordered the jumbomax comforter wrap xs and they’re perfect

I switched over to the large size jumbo grips on all my irons and the XL on my driver and can say from experience, I now have a slight draw on my long iron shots. Also I have all one length clubs.

Won’t go back to using those small grips ever again!!!!!

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. 👍👍

[@davidreardon9130]

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

[@paulharris6335]

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.

[@crazygoldcoastdrivers6895]

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

[@BrickTop_007]

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 ✔👍

[@IamAl3ks]

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.

[@paulsj3273]

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

[@TheBruceKeller]

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.

[@jacobmiddleton334]

Your golf game has transformed quite a bit in the last year. Proud of the work you’ve put into your game and it’s be enjoyable to watch.

[@93esmc]

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.

[@andersun16]

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.

[@robertpersson2753]

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

[@dealcasino_]

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

[@matthewziemendorf4200]

I switched to the jumbo xl grips after your last video. Im consistently shooting 5-8 strokes lower since switching

[@drknudy]

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.

[@F5BOTD]

It's a pleasure to see you playing some good golf as of late. Well done Rick

[@falelaster]

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,...

[@SortaLikeGolf]

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.

[@brians8952]

I love my jumbo max i've been using them for 4 months and my game has improved so much. dropped 3 on my handicap and its only getting better

[@brians8952]

I do know that with my driver i have to forcibly close the face to get a straighter ball flight.

[@nishidaninja4207]

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

[@mistersooty]

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.

[@techvelo]

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.

[@mikeowusu1121]

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.
