I've switched to JUMBO GRIPS... should YOU?

In this Quest For The Open episode, I explain why I've changed to Jumbo Max grips. But would I recommend them to other golfers? Should you change to Jumbo grips? I also talk through my latest swing changes with golf coach Dan Whittaker.

Just a little tip, when you're putting a grip on don't cover the hole in the end so air escapes and the grip goes on much easier.

[@masoncotton1649]

Even if you never make it to the open or past regional qualifying Pete, this series is the one of my favourite. It ticks all the boxes of being fun, informative and realistic. Can’t praise enough the transparency you give that it’s hard to be successful in golf in terms of competition

[@kevinspradlin6288]

I switched to these and my game improved dramatically. More importantly, my arthritic hands do not hurt and I can play 4 rounds a week and practice at home. I have broken all my fingers multiple times and have a hard time gripping grips that are "my size." I ignored the experts and put these on. No regrets and no going back!

[@uglygolf]

Wow that’s an eyeopener coz I have rheumatoid arthritis which has affected my hands and especially grip. I may have to try these grips out 🤔

[@nategin9009]

But how heavy are they

[@kevinspradlin6288]

@@nategin9009 The ultralight series has the same weight as a standard grip so there is no swingweight change of your club.

[@breffiniodonovan5547]

Hi Kevin, Just out of curiosity what were the experts saying would be the negative impact of changing your grip sizes? I’ve only recently returned to playing golf after a good 12 year break and find in the mornings after playing or practicing my hands and fingers are really stiff and sore which need to be cracked/ popped for relief.. lessons I have received from local Pro has changed my grip and fixed a lot of issues but I have been wondering for a few weeks if chunkier grips would ease the pain in the mornings? Appreciate your views? Thanks Breffini

[@kevinspradlin6288]

@@breffiniodonovan5547 The argument is that your grip will include more of your palms and will be less in you fingers. You will also not close the face as quickly. For me, as an old baseball and hockey player, the finger grip was never comfortable to me, using more of my hand is just fine. As a righty with a typical left side miss and no slice, not getting to square as quickly is not a problem. I use a baseball type 10 finger grip and have not lost any power. I am 63 and get 260 in the air with my driver, and have a club head speed of 105.

[@meazlesgolf3455]

OK, let me share my experience with these grips. First let me say that I am 66 years old as of this timestamp and have a mild case of arthritis in one of my fingers that causes my hand to throb after 9 or 13 holes of golf, even with the midsize grips I was using. I switched out my driver with one of these and it was like a new world of golfing for me. I didn’t notice any extra yardage with the driver but I was hitting a lot more fairways and my hand was feeling GREAT after 18 holes of play! I decided to purchase enough grips to replace the grips on all of my irons. After I gripped ALL of my irons at the same time (which was a mistake), I took them to the driving range to prove them. OH MY! I thought I was going to cry!!! I could NOT hit the ball with these grip as I could with my driver. I was topping the ball, hitting dribbles to the left and right and only getting about 50 yards with ANY IRON - it was butt ugly. Because these grips are rather expensive, I decided that I will just have to figure out how to make the adjustment and quickly because I had an LV golf trip coming up with my Pastor and a few of the fellas (I was really sweating here). Without going into many details, I ultimately made two adjustment that was tantamount to me striking the ball and getting a straight high flight. First, to an earlier commenter “YES” you can use a strong grip which is what I had to do and secondly, (NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) “DO NOT HOLD THIS GRIP TIGHT” “SERIOUSLY” Just hold it firm enough so that it won’t spin or fly out of your hand. Let me stay here for a moment because this was the “KEY” for me and may be for you as well. The wide grip is going to take up some serious space in your palm so there will be no reason to squeeze or hold the grip firmly (as it were); the iron is not going to leave your hands. I use the interlocking grip and experiment with the baseball grip which DID NOT WORK and was not necessary for me to change the interlocking grip completely. What I had to do was just lay my finger in the interlocking position if I could or just on top of that space between the fingers with a STRONG GRIP. I just swung the irons easy and freeing using my normal setup mechanics and I was/am back in business; just like my driver, the ball flight with my irons and these grips are pretty straight. If you play in a golf league or have a golf trip planned, I WOULD NOT recommend changing ALL of your irons at the same time. Actually if I had to do it again, I would suggest waiting toward the end of the golf season to do them all or just do one iron that gets good use but not your “GoTo” iron. BONUS TIP: When you regrip your irons, have the pro shop (or you do it) ensure that the “U’ or “V” on the grip is placed on the shaft so that it helps you to place your thumb in the right spot for a weak or STRONG grip. I can EASILY see this becoming a standard grip model for ALL ages because it just feels so natural and give you a confident feeling when you swing your clubs.

[@trenterickson2817]

Great explanation on the advantages of a larger grip! According to Golf Pride, I should be in "undersize" grips. I switched to midsize after a thumb injury and it helped my to stop holding the grip so tight. It made a massive difference. My thumb and hands don't feel so fatigued by the end of a round and my thumb doesn't hurt as it had been. I definitely recommend a larger grp for anyone with hand problems based on my experience.

[@joshuabugai9725]

I've been playing these grips all season. This has been my best season yet. First time shooting under par 👍

[@stsgolf14]

Great shooting that Joshua 🏌️🏌️

[@sk8777kid1]

Awesome to hear!

[@ShawnyBGolf]

I’m 6’7 and got these grips, my hands felt immediately better. I could actually practice a lot longer. Also they dramatically improved my accuracy (which isn’t saying much to begin with haha) Huge fan of these grips and need to review them myself.

[@larryd4352]

I totally get it, I am 6'6"... although I use a midsized grip, with 4 wraps of tape. Regular grips feel like I am holding a pencil! Jumbo grips just don't allow me to square the club right...but...I have a very compact swing with very little movement in my legs...especially my left leg...which has been operated on many, many times, and my left knee is bone on bone! So I mainly use my upper body strength to create club head speed! I played American Football in college, where my initial injuries occurred back in 1977.

[@stsgolf14]

Love this 🏌️🏌️ Have you found them easier on your wrists?

[@Stannyhand]

I’ve done the opposite! Played Jumbo for a year as my hands are massive and gone to standard and feel more control 🙌🏻

[@the_full_english]

Ha same. I’m a large glove size so went to midsize a few years ago. Just bought some new irons and rather than change the grips straight away I went to the range and played a round with the std size grips on and I felt like I had more control of the club face, just felt better so I’m going back to std. You might think it’s the new clubs rather than the grips but the new ones are in theory harder to use than my old set. Horses for courses I suppose!

[@damiensmith8351]

[@matthill1935]

Hi Peter, I was just wondering what size of Jumbomax grip did you go for and how did you decide which size? Thanks!

[@stephenkane3786]

Please !

[@brianellis5146]

Just a tip on regripping. I use a model building air compressor and a modified brass swage nipple to fit into the hole on the rear of the grip. If you administer a small amount of air while pushing the grip on, it slides up without resistance. I can apply a new set of grips to a full set in about 15 minutes. It's also great for testing grips. You don't need the solvent or the grip tape for testing. You can apply the grips without glue as long as you have masking tape for added friction. This is great for trying one on two clubs with a different grip and it makes changing back a breeze.

[@robertkay9349]

Great explanation Peter. I switched to jumbos years ago. I didn’t put that much thought into it. I just noticed I got better shot results and experienced less pain in my fingers and hands.

[@bwstokie]

I’ve done exactly the same, switch grips to these and my game has completely transformed!! They are game changing - only problem now is my stand bag is really, really tight with 14 of these grips and a 2 thumb putter grip 😂. I’m that blown away with the grips I genuinely can’t see how they wouldn’t benefit tonnes of club golfers!!

[@2bsure407]

I want to do the same, what brand grips did you use?

[@jerrysmiley1084]

Which size Jumbo are you using? I recently put the large on my driver and it has helped me hit it straighter and longer.

[@morten3465]

Making sure the game doesn't physically hurt you is just a good idea. I'll be Jumboing up my grips too, because my hands are killing me as well. I had lower back issues with the standard swing and changed to single plane (by Kirk Junge), which got rid of the pain.

[@RossLawrie]

I've got standard grips and the other day I tried a friend's one size up (medium?) and even that felt so much different is just so much more comfortable. As always Pete, great video and really interesting to see you in a lesson... Fingers crossed for you this coming year!!

[@jamesbaine580]

I've been using oversized grips for about 20 years now. Helps with any flipiness in the hands, easier to square up club face and they feel so cushy in the hands

[@marklags2396]

I play Jumbomax Tour Series Small grips( and they ain't small). Best feeling grips I've ever had.

[@knublet82]

I was getting alot of wrist and tennis elbow pain during and after range sessions and rounds so I changed all of my grips to the Large JumboMax a few months ago. Dramatic improvement to how I feel after a practice session or round, little to no pain which has been fantastic. It takes a couple range sessions to get used to the JumboMax grips, but I love them! I don't feel like I am strangling the grip anymore and I am starting to see more consistancy in strike, distance and accuracy through all clubs. Definitely recommend to anyone that has wrist or forearm pain during and/or after a round. I have larger hands but I feel that even the small or medium JumboMax grips would be a great change for people with smaller hands. Test one at the range on a spare club that you have laying around. It is a small initial cost that could transform how you feel and play the game we love!

[@michaellissow543]

I'm fairly new to golf. Went in for a fitting. According to golf standards, my hand size falls into standard size grips but I never really liked how they felt in my hands. I felt I didn't have good control of the club. As soon as I tried the over sized grip I was hooked . That's the one! My swing settled down and club face consistency at impact improved.

[@russelclark7687]

I'm recovering from carpal tunnel surgery on both arms. I was having trouble feeling the grips. So I went midsize and oversize grips not long ago! Love the bigger grips!! I'm using superstroke midsize on driver, 3w, hybrid and wedges. Then SS traxion oversize on rbz irons.

[@kyle6525]

I use the XS Jumbo Max Ultralight grips. I suck either way but I enjoy em lol

[@baldyoldguy2359]

At 6'6" I put the XL grips on last season and now I can play again. Standard grips are just too small for big hands. Being left handed no one make gloves that fit my hands anymore. Wilson did years ago. Now I enjoy playing again. I have the Pink and White ones. If Bubba can do it so can I!

[@john_linder]

Possibly try wide receiver football gloves.

[@John-boy22]

I can't believe my favourite you tuber professional has switched to jumbo max. Ive got the ultralite set coming from the us anytime soon also because of wrist issues. Now I have someone who can help me switch to them. There's not a lot on the internet about them so the fact you have them Pete has made my day. Which incidentally was a long drive from Glasgow to Manchester this evening in the pouring rain. My daughter has a hospital appointment in Cheadle. anyway. cheers Pete. looking forward to watching your successful transition. Hopefully I can match it.

[@dirtyoffroader2093]

I swapped to midsize plus 4 layers of tape two years ago and not suffered with wrist/hand pain since. I adjusted to manipulating the face pretty quickly so it's not that bad making the switch

[@denniskane196]

Love my jumbo on the driver. Did it 2 years ago to prevent further wrist pain as well

[@johnedmondson7911]

Question - why wouldn't you still be able to grip the shaft normally? I don't understand why a larger grip would require a weaker hand position.

[@waynecoupland6463]

Got a full set of Jumbo Max Ultralite M size coming today. I have tried one on my 7 iron and driver and loved the results. I am getting pain in the ends of my fingers with normal grips but these feel great. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with them.

So I’ve been thinking about putting jumbos on every one of my clubs since I’m a big slicer and get awful calluses on my hangs because of my tight grip. I also love how my big putter grip feels and I even swung it as a regular club would be swung and loved it. Would this be a good idea?

Dan Whittaker 👍Total ace GURU of the swing,. ( Dan's Elbow tuck tips sorted my over the top, added yards too!) I have been watching his old U-tube videos to address swing issues, fused with yours tips along with Ricks tips. I run XL double taped to avoid grip issues, these grips look great.

[@rogerspeck9929]

I suffer with Arthritis in my wrists and have changed my grips myself to Lamkin Jumbos , a lot less pain in my wrists enabling me to play more often. Hopefully others will follow your advice. Great Vlog. 🏌🏽‍♂️👏👍

I haven’t yet put on the jumbo max grips, but I put on jumbo golf pride grips when I switched to a new Driver and 3-wood and my hands feels more comfortable and stable. Even in high wind and rain, I didn’t feel like I had to hold on for dear life to make a good strike. I’ve been told these are recommended for players with large hands, arthritis, wrist injuries/ailments, or players wanting to gain better control. I’ll def have to check these out

[@dpezza5]

The coaching side of this with Dan is fascinating. Really like that insight

[@simonmackenzie4227]

Always hated skinny grips, so I recently just added squash racquet tape to my clubs, cost basically nothing, and they are non slip so can grip very lightly and swing for the hills (play golf in Dubai so thats massively important). You'll need to replace them every 10 or so rounds but its a lovely, lovely feeling

[@pssryan]

Glad you made this video to talk about the grips. I wear a XXL glove and also deal with a little bit of wrist and hand pain when using standard or even midsize grips. I even went up to a GP Jumbo grip on my driver, but still was not quite the fit. I just put the Ultralite Small JumboMax on my 3 hybrid last week to try it out. What an immense difference! Already regripped my driver and have a whole set of the XS ultralite grips coming for my new iron set due to arrive in a couple of weeks. Hitting the ball straighter, using so much less grip pressure and they are certainly super tacky which I like as well. Would recommend 10/10 for anyone with larger hands or hand pain issues. Absolute gamechanger. Cheers!

[@michaelpearsontx]

Why did you go with the XS, just curious. I myself am 6'2" have large hands, 8.5inches from crease on the bottom of my hand to the tip of my middle finger. I ordered the jumbomax ultralight in medium and small to test them out. I felt like medium was slightly too big, and small was perfect. I'm sure I would have been happy with either the XS, S, or Medium, but decided today to order a full set in the small size. I was on the fence between the small and extra small. But ended up ordering the small because I never got to try the extra small. Hopefully I made the right decision!

[@pssryan]

@@michaelpearsontx I am about 6 foot and measure a hair over 9 inches on that measurement. I tried out the small, which I love, and have put on all my long clubs…driver, 3 wood and hybrid. I went with the XS for my irons just so I could have a little more control over my release point as large grips make it a little harder to get a good release and can possibly cause you to push to the right. Plus I wanted just a little more feel in the fingers and not the palms for my short irons. There is only a 1/16” inch difference, but noticeable enough. These grips are amazing no matter what size you go with and are a great talking point on the course. 10/10 recommend.

[@nigeljames9423]

A tip after watching your technique. When you put a grip on never push the butt end of the grip. You need to let the air inside escape as you slide the grip on. That air escapes through the small hole in the butt end of the grip. If you put your hand over this hole whilst pushing the grip on air pressure builds up inside and the grip won't slide on.

[@braincramp1000]

These grips are game changers. Contact with my irons has improved dramatically. I wasn't really expecting that huge of a result.

[@Real28]

I use midsize with 2 extra wraps. Feels so much better. I made the switch on my fitted set I got this year. I tried to swing my old clubs and immediately my wrist hurt and it felt horrible. I should have made the change a decade ago.

[@matthewmiller5120]

Are you able to interlock with the jumbo?

[@jasonricco5835]

I have played these grips in size small on my clubs for years from the tours that weugh in at 90 grams and the ultra lite at like 40 grams. I play the lite on my irons 4-8 then lamkin mid size plus on 9-sw on my lob I have the tour same in green and black ( secret tip) hold the wedge like a hockey stick or the baseball grip the grip allows you to hold the club in ways traditional grips will not and I am getting some crazy flop shots that sit near the hole I feel like I can put the ball where I want with Jumbo max grips.

Thanks for including the footage with Dan......that stuff is always very interesting.

[@68wolffden]

Thanks for the great vid. I was already looking at this idea and then just ordered one of this brand of grips to try and see how it feels before changing all grips. 2 days before this video came out I ordered this brand but started with the small. Cant wait to try it out

[@davemalo3674]

I don't have wrist issues but after a lifetime in the building trades I have some arthritis in my hands. I have changed some of my grips to the Golf Pride jumbo and I really like them. The aren't as big as the Jumbo Max but they are soft and tacky feeling and the clubs never twist in my hands (even when I shank one!) I will eventually change all my grips over but like a lot of things they were in short supply at the Pro shop. I belong to the +70 demographic and these grips are quite popular with us old fellas.

[@GroundhogzGarage]

I switched to medium grips a couple years ago and the club feels so much more comfortable in my hands. I’m going to try a jumbo grip on one of my practice clubs now and see how it feels. Love the video

[@kiwigolfnz429]

Think you are right on point Pete. I also have changed to the Jumbo Max and has made a significant change to my swing. I changed to these because my right hand is missing a few digits and this helps a lot with griping the club so that it doesn't twist in my hand. I did a review when I was trilling them out but haven't been able to do another yet. Definitely not as good as your vid though. Keep em coming.

[@anthonyhigham2799]

Literally just had the same lesson this evening, staying too flexed! Nice to know im not the only one!!!

[@athens_1psvr31]

I just switched to the Large Jumbo Max grips. I have long, thin hands and they definitely feel better. Tried them yesterday, played without gloves, and my hands don’t hurt at all.

[@smoozerish]

Been playing with jumbo grips the last year. Lot less hand and wrist injuries. Love them.

[@JavyGwaltney3]

I have XXXL large hands. These are the first grips I've ever had that my hands went into the proper position when gripping the club. My irons are +1 inch so getting the original heavy grip helps with having a proper swing weight.

[@callmecamo2]

I actually just changed to a midsize grip. I feel like I don't have to choke the club so much now. Excellent purchase as I fling it into the woods.

[@astroidother3609]

Pete. My club builder fits the grips by air and this makes changing them really easy. No issues with grip movement at all. I have now moved to CP2 Midsize grips, I am a small golf glove size, and this has helped a lot in both feel and strike. Try air fitting next time.

[@michaellischio7617]

I switched to jumbo grips in the shorter irons. Helped greatly with my arthritic hands. Had to keep standard for longer irons/woods though because I can’t close the face.

[@dw4421]

Pete. I definitely think I need to swap out to jumbo max grips because of arthritis and joint issues around my fingers. I also think I’m gripping it too hard at times. To justify it, I think I need to go thru a FULL bag fitting, since I don’t think I should regrip a bag of Callaway Edge sets and Kirkland Wedges

[@larryd4352]

As a really tall golfer, 6'6", and very large hands, I tried the jumbo grips, but I found they were uncomfortable and I had problems squaring up the club head. After working with one of the assistant Pros at my course, who was also quite tall with large hands, I tried his driver, which had a midsized grip. After about 20 minutes, he refitted my 3 wood with a midsized grip and 4 wraps of tape. That was 26 years ago...and I still use a midsized grip and 4 wraps of tape!

[@the_full_english]

This makes no sense because I used to be a club fitter and know that midsize with 4 layers is the same as if not bigger than jumbo grips 🤷‍♂️

[@tomhallett1804]

Switched years ago to Jumbo’s. More comfortable but ultimately suited for long fingers. Good, informative video.

[@ericbrabander]

Perhaps look at wrist and tennis, where the wrist is loose in swing but strong at impact, fingers are firm, arm is loose, just a thought…

[@tomb9658]

Years ago, I bought a set of used TM RAC irons for cheap with big grips, and since then I prefer the bigger grips. At first I thought it was craziness. I bought a new set of Srixon Z585 with the usual sized grips. I feel like my hands are missing something, and I'm only a large glove. I will use them next season, and re-grip with at least medium with a wrap. Larger grips reduce hooks too, so my Ping tour driver will get medium with a wrap also. Super fat jumbo, too much perhaps. But if you have a large plus to x-large hand, certainly.

[@timothybevis6095]

I worried about the changes in the weighting of the club's. But you just said it's a lighter grip with the new compounds. I will have to check that out. Thanks Pete

[@mikehoffman7131]

Great video Pete, and good luck with them. I truly hope it takes care of your wrist issues. I am intrigued to see more videos with you using them with your swing as opposed to the previous video where you used them with a 1 plane swing. A course vlog of a couple holes with discussion after each shot on feel, feel vs real, and differences noticed on said shots than previously using "standard" style grips.

[@rsicho]

This got me thinking smaller hands not to go necessarily with the thinner grips. What fits best for your swing and the game. Thanks Pete!

[@adamw9764]

I put a jumbo grip on an extra shaft for my driver and it was an interesting experiment. I tend to hook the ball when I miss, but with this I was fading it much more. That being said....if I missed one it was a huge fade/slice and got me in trouble a few times. I liked it, but I would need to really experiment more with irons to see if I liked it. I currently use mid sized grips and throw on 2 or 3 wraps of tape which seems to work really well for me.

[@swingking83]

I switched to these grips 18 months ago. I love them. The last I have changed is my grip with these. What I realized is that with this weak grip how my body rotates and my ball position had to change. With a weaker grip I actually play the ball further back in my stance my shoulders are square to closed at impact. This allows me to be shallow and hit a high baby draw. I only changed these things recently and that was firing a 64. I’ve had some of the best ball striking range sessions. In my small sample size of playing I hit a ton of greens. One of the reasons I think this works for me is my lead hip is tight and my trail arm straightens early. The grips take getting use to but they are amazing once you do. Good luck with your journey and welcome jumbomax family

I switched to a more parallel grip about 8-10 years ago, first by building my right hand up with tape and then moving to the less tapered grips when they became available. Improved my accuracy going a little thicker for sure. I may move to a midsize or larger on my next regrip and see if that helps as well.

[@richdiana3663]

When you put the bigger grip into the center of your left hand it will restrict your wrist break a bit which will cost you CH speed but should increase your accuracy. Good swings for you.

I did the same thing as I too border on Midsize to Jumbo. I put Golf Pride CP2 on and while better, still missing full comfort. Just put on these JumboMax on my 7 to test in large and they fit great and can really feel the clubhead. Will do some more testing to see if a permanent change is coming

[@artimusbranesample9072]

The used set I got last year had jumbo grips on them. I love them. I would never have thought to even try them but, I feel like I have so much more control with them.

[@johngraham2335]

I switched about 6 months ago. Dropped my HCAP about 4 points. I honestly didn't think about the hand or wrist pain but I had quite a bit before I switched and now I don't. I never correlated that to the grips. Also I find it very hard to miss left with these grips. Really takes away that 2 way miss.

After watching I might try the bigger grips I've noticed playing more this summer I would get a little pain in my wrists every so often....I've actually practiced some too so it could be just getting use to the motion

[@pdemaers]

I have been using these XL grips for about three years now and I am never going back to normal grips. They shaved 5 shots of my handicap virtually overnight and I am completely painfree in my wrists and forearms.

Got fitted for a mizuno driver in the summer - I was getting 17 degrees launch angle and 1700 spin - the fitter hadn’t seen it before so took a photo on his phone!

My jumbomax come in the mail this Tuesday I cannot wait

[@willrobinson9974]

Always had slightly thicker grips, recently bought a second hand set of Mizuno MP-54s with really chunky grips on, felt brilliant and as a result my ball striking has improved dramatically, unsure if I could go all the way up to these mind!

[@davidsutton6616]

I have been using those grips for a year with a 10 finger grip. Sublime.

[@dannysharp5648]

I have big hands these will definitely benefit me, thank you Pete

[@stephenfowler4115]

Two advantages to larger grips. Greater adjustment range of the club face. And finer adjustments.

[@Lateralus1214]

I have been using Jumbo max Tour series X-small oversized grips for over a year now and I will never go back.

[@jaybyrne4562]

I changed from regular grips with 2 layers of tape, to mid sized +4 grips. The change felt drastic and I've really struggled all year since the change. I changed to stop me flipping the head left hitting big hooks, which has worked, but now I'm struggling with being able to release the club properly. This is causing weak cutty shots and a loss of distance 🙈😭😭😭

[@pinger530]

Tried the JumboMax grips and liked them for a while. But they just felt a little too big. I wish they had a slightly smaller version in the Ultralight. They have a size I like in the Tour version, but I like the feel of the Ultralight better. I eventually switched to the Golf Pride MCC Plus4 in Midsize and I like that. I think that the traditional grip sizing guidelines are no longer accurate. I think they should have people play a slightly larger grip than has traditionally recommended.

[@starwf07]

Ha, I think that grip may have been hard going on because you subconsciously held back on the amount of solvent, since the end of the club wasn't over the drip pan. Just scoot it back over the drip pan and soak the thing - all the extra gets collected and reused anyway. Not really much waste to worry about. I've recently moved to midsize grips and have actually thought about going bigger, because it helps me relax my hands and wrists, and get less "flippy", which is a big issue for me.

[@tonypapas9854]

I switched 6 moths ago - noticeable improvement with distance and accuracy.

[@gregdi8730]

Have you thought about graphite iron shafts as a remedy for the wrist pain? I believe (and could be misinformed) they absorb more of the impact and therefore reduce the stress on your wrists

[@KevFlamingo]

I switched to Plus 4 despite having small glove sized hands Picked up a full club in distance. Cost me a good score first time out when I kept air mailing greens

[@sexiestmenalivepodcast3556]

I switched a little while back because I was having issues after my carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgeries. They have helped, and the only issue I have had is that I wish I would have bought 1 size down from the XL Ultralight straight tech. Just a little too big sometimes. I am killing my driver with it though.

[@The_Golfing_Boardroom]

I’ve just been fitted for P790s and had a fat grip recommended… shame delivery is January as I can’t wait to use them

[@shawntaylor7442]

I've used mid size 1 extra wrap of tape on all my clubs. I also still use a jumbo grip on my putter. I tried using standard grips on other clubs and it felt like holding on to a pencil

[@minsyoo]

i'm going to try these. i have some carpal tunnel issues and sometimes it hurts my left hand just to grip it neutral. that's led to a whole series of issues because i subconsciously try to cheat in different parts of the swing to compensate.

[@OvieKovy]

I'm definitely thinking of moving to midsize at least, I bought a 5 wood which had a midsize on it and I loved how it felt. Irons and driver probably next.
