Getting Fit With JumboMax Grips: Increase Your Speed, Tighten Your Dispersion

At JumboMax, we believe there is a perfect grip for every golfer. We offer far more grip sizes, grip weights, and grip shapes than any other company so that every golfer can hit longer and straighter shots.
This grip fitting with JumboMax President John Mazzanoble and Zak Kozuchowski was created to help fitters better understand the process we use to help Team JumboMax Members find their perfect grip, but there's a lot of valuable information for golfers, too!
A special thanks to Kaiser University in West Palm Beach (FL) for access to its facility!

I’ve just changed all my grips to jumbomax xs nearly 60 and I really love them great grip they just feel so good in your hands

[@jamesmc81]

Anyone notice how it was harder for him to turn it over when he was hitting his fairway finder? Tip: choke down for your fairway finder - the extra bit of grip and shaft behind your hands will act as a counterbalance. Helping you turn it over at slower speeds.

[@masteryoda7583]

It helped my friend a lot. Someone with extreme arthritis the JumboMax helped him control the club a lot better. We thought he will stop playing with us.

[@jackhadland864]

Great video John, My wife and I have been playing jumbo ultralites for a few years now but have never tried the tour grips due to swing weight concerns. I will definitely be purchasing and testing the tour grips. Thank you

[@cowboysurfer777]

Eye opening fitting! 🤙🏻

[@pgjc756]

I had some arthritis in my hands and forearms. According to their site Medium was the optimal size for me. Since changing I have had zero pain in my hands and forearms, and I gained 5mph on my swing. I use the Str8 tech medium. I love them.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

We're so glad we could help. Being able to play without fear of pain is one of the greatest gifts any golfer of any age can receive.

[@ehotwill]

Great content! I wish you guys would do more content like this. Could you do a fitting like this with a more typical swing speed player? What this guy does is pretty amazing, but not majority of public reaches anywhere near this guy.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

We're working on doing more fitting videos. One of the reason to film with more experienced players is that they hit the center of the club face more often and that makes it easier to show the differences between our grips.

[@user-jm9bq8sx6x]

It stands to reason if a larger putter grip can help you from twisting the face in the takeaway and follow through, the possibility of that happening with the rest of your clubs is one to consider. Golf is a " feel " game, and if your mind senses a smooth rhythm when you're swinging it translates to the rest of your body. We're all built different, we all swing different. I personally feel the larger the grip, the smoother your tempo. The weight is something entirely different and that is for the user to determine. I use graphite shafts throughout the bag, and for me to try a 100 gram plus grip is counterproductive. The JumboMax Ultralight medium with the weight they make it is a great compliment to the lighter clubs I have. I could give a dang about trying to impress with swing speed, I want accuracy, and these grips for me provide a feeling of comfort no midsize grip can match. It makes no sense to have Driver thru nine with jumbo grips, maybe wedges with standard or midsized. Too much of a drastic change in feel to get used to. I have great touch with the 60/56/58 and GW using the jumbos. The driver and long/mid irons don't drift offline like they did before when I hit with midsized because the face just doesn't have that much twist from takeaway to contact. Change is difficult, but your hands are the only connection you have to the club and you want that connection to be as comfortable as you can get it.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Testing is the way! We hope golfers read this and see that there are benefits to trying new things.

[@cyberbogart]

That guy is huge!!! 305 yard carry, im not surprised. He should use a God damn log as a club. I thought he will punch a hole in the wall using the golf ball.

[@jamesmc81]

Modest too. I like him

[@tacticaltruth8118]

Great video! What grip weight should someone with a slower swing speed use … the ultralight (40g), standard (~60g), or heavier (120g)?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

It really depends on your ball flight. If your start line tends to be too far right, heavier grips tend to help. If your start line is too far left, lighter grips tend to help.

[@tacticaltruth8118]

@@Jumbomaxgrips Thank you. I have ordered a couple of Ultralight to test out.

[@tastykeycoffeecup]

I would strongly recommend anyone trying these before buying. The grips themselves feel great and are clearly excellent quality - possibly the best construction out there BUT they dont work for everyone. I lost ball speed, swing speed (and distance obviously). I lost nearly 20 yards on a 7 iron. I ended up going back to a mid size grip after 2 months of trying to get them to work for me.

[@thrillkillcult999]

20 yards on a 7i? That's not a grip issue my guy I guarantee that

[@tastykeycoffeecup]

@@thrillkillcult999 I had a regular grip 7 iron I was using alongside it, only significant difference was the grip. The grip has alot to do with how fast you can move the wrists. I love how you "guarantee" it without knowing anything further 🤣

[@Hohumbogey]

Is there somewhere in Denver that you do grip fittings? Been thinking about trying these grips out and would love to go through this process.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

For right now, you're going to want to use our online grip fitting tool. We are working on adding new grip fitting centers.

[@uhmilli4680]

The online grip fitting tool is great… but how do I know if I want a light or heavy grip without being lucky enough to do a professional fitting? Is there some swing parameters to go by like speed?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Here's an article we wrote on that: jumbomax.com/pages/grip-weight

[@golfingmatt82]

How do i find a location that does a grip fitting? I work out of a high end golf club if we need someone to come out for members.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

We've just launched a new Grip Fitting App for iPad that will allow you to perform these fittings at your club. Please contact [e-mail] to learn more.

[@michaelgillies9075]

Is there a place in Australia in New South Wales that does jumbomax grip fittings?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Not at this time, but we are beginning to work with fitters to offer this experience to everyone.

[@kevinmcdonald1917]

How about an 85 mph driver??

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

We generally see 3-6 mph more swing speed from golfers of all swing speeds.

[@jasonschmidt157]

I went with Jumbo MAx grips last year on all my clubs and I’ll never go back to standard grips. I can swing as hard as I want most of the time with minimal consequences for a miss hit.

[@ryankinman199]

Im a new golfer from baseball and Ive gotten my path good (error IO if anything) and my avg swing speed with driver is 115ish and I really feel like my wrist is gonna snap when I try and let the head get ahead of my hands. I really wish there was somewhere to demo these.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Lessons, lessons, lesson. But how much do you think about your hands "releasing" in baseball? It's probably not something you're consciously thinking about, right? Great golfers feel the same way.

[@alexberry3243]

Is there anywhere you can go to get this type of fitting? PGA superstore, club champion, etc… thanks!

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

You should absolutely use our Online Grip Fitting Tool. We're currently working on creating a network of in-person grip fitters.

[@theosiegers6980]

As a hockey player. My golf clubs always feel so small. I think this is what I need

@@Jumbomaxgrips thanks. do you know which one? Orland Park didn't do this last time I checked, but it has been a while so I try them again or if you can recommend a particular location, that be great! thanks

[@WatchWatchlist]

Is this service offered to the public? (A question from a local high handicapper)

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Not at this time, but you should definitely try our online fitting tool on our website. It's incredibly accurate.

[@hypent500]

so are these grips only affective only for high speed swing golfers

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

No, they work for everyone. Long Drive is simply adopting them first because they win and lose based on speed. We generally see 3-6 mph of swing speed increase with JumboMax.

[@kevinmcdonald1917]

Is it the same grip throughout the irons too?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Absolutely. You don't want to change the torque profiles of your grips through the bag.

[@RobFletcher-rn9op]

What cart bag do you recommend for clubs with jumbomax large grips?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Most cart bags are going to work. These slimmer carry bags can be an issue, even for standard grips. Most bags offer free returns, so certainly give them a try before you commit to one.

[@RobFletcher-rn9op]

@@Jumbomaxgrips Thanks

[@c5jp904]

So, did the fitting tool and told me small but gives no recommendation as to weight. How do we figure that without buying various grips and wrecking them?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

If your start lines are too far right, Tour Series or Comfort Wrap generally work well. If your start lines are too far left or you must maintain a traditional swing weight, UltraLite or Zen Lite generally work well. The best thing to do is pick up one of each and do some testing. You'll know in a few range sessions. We are also working on building out a weight recommendation, but we find that golfers tend to be opened to counterbalanced grips... or not. That is changing, thankfully, and that's great because they have a lot to offer.

[@hoganfan2006]

Do these grips create club tangle problems in the golf bag?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

They can be an issue with smaller bags, but they're usually not problematic with larger bags.

[@sheckii]

Where can we go for a grip fitting like this?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

We're not offering fittings like this just yet, but it's something we're working to provide with our retailers. As you might have seen in the video, our Online Grip Fitting Tool is incredible accurate: jumbomax.com/pages/grip-fitting. We're also working on a new Grip Fitting App that will scan your hand to help you find your best size. From there, you'll want to determine if our lightweight grips (JMX UltraLite, JMX Zen Lite) or counterbalanced grips (Tour Series, Comfort Wrap) are best for your game. Again, as the video showed, golfers that struggle with a push or block tend to do best with counterbalanced grips.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

We are currently working to establish a nationwide network of fitters. In the meantime, you'll get very accurate results from our online grip fitting tool.

[@tellwilliams4493]

Swing weight?

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

Our light grips (UltraLite, Zen Lite) aren't going to reduce swing weight. Our heavier grips (Tour Series, Comfort Wrap) are going to reduce swing weight. But as you saw in the video, swing weight really isn't that big of a deal. Even at the extremes.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

What about it?

[@briansmith2125]

Jack Nicklaus counter balanced all of his clubs starting in the 1960's.

[@Jumbomaxgrips]

100%. Imagine how far he would have hit it with today's equipment.

[@jamesmc81]

Jumbomax are the best. I went to the extreme with counterbalance, it was fast and straight initially but over time I couldn't control it. A little bit goes along way. And having the weight in the handle like jmx works nicer than a crude weight in the butt end. Also a little bit goes a long way in sizing with jumbomax too.
