Size Matters! For Grips.


Recommended Posts

Recently purchased a new set of irons used. I didn't have time to change the grip on the clubs. I went to the range after having the clubs adjusted to fit me and started pulling everything left. I had an idea it may be the grips obviously. I did a little experimenting. I put a midsize grip, and jumbo grip on my 6,7 irons and kept the standard on my 8. The 8 went way left, the 6 went semi left, and the 7 was to my surprise almost dead straight with the slightest of draws. I measure in at Standrad/Midsize according to the club fitter, but I honestly though “measurements” are a waste of time. Go with what feels right. Story is, I was told standard but jumbo get my best results. Also, with the standard I started getting bad callous on my left hand. Went to the jumbo and it was much better. Anyone out there use Jumbos like me!?

We all know Jumbo is the best😉

Interesting results though. Are they repeatable? I think it is personal preference too. I play Midsize. The "feel" the best to me and are the most comfortable. I have large hands and can't stand standard. I haven't tried jumbo but might soon. Go with what works for you.

Grip size matters for sure. As Rev talks about often, it's another variable you can work to control. A friend of mine plays midsize on his driver through hybrids, jumbo on 5-8i and then standard on 9-wedges. He likes what his hands feel and how the grip can prevent them from being too involved.
