Mid Size Grips, yeah or nay

[Firmadge]

Interested to hear from some members who have switched from standard grips to mid-size grips. I am getting ready to re-grip some clubs and I was thinking of trying a midsize from either Golf Pride or Winn. I have some buddies who have moved to larger grips and say it helps them with control. I am unsure if I want to re-grip my whole set or just do some of my wedges as a trial run. Looking for some input from the community members who have made the switch and either liked it or regretted it.

I switched to mid-sized a number of years ago and I'll never go back. I find my grip overall is more relaxed and that helps with releasing the clubhead as there's less tension in my hands and wrists. I also like that when I choke down a bit, I still feel like I have a solid grip on the club.

Midsize here as well, the thicker grips just feel better in my hands. However, everyone is different and it may turn out to be something you hate. If I were you, I would just regrip a few irons and hit a few balls and see how they feel before committing to the whole set.

I switched to midsize after a Srixon fitter was noticing my grip/wrap in 2019.  I settled on the GP Align and have really liked them.  Looking at most fitting charts, I am usually on the fence between standard and midsize... but it depends on OEM. Now when I grab a standard, it feels weird. I will say that for about the first month after the switch, my fingers felt a little strained, but that went away.  Probably should just try one and see how you like it.

I've gone back and forth over the years because my hands are tweeners. I am currently rolling with a mid-size on my driver and standard +4 on the rest of my set.

For starters, I wear a XL glove. More often then not when I try a new club at fittings or just browsing in a store, I find that I tend to grip the stock STD grips too hard. I've tried several combinations from Std to Jumbo and have ended up on my ideal grip set-up = Midsize with 3 layers of tape. This works regards of the grip that I use which is currently CPX for all except wedges, those are MCC+4.

I've used mid-sized grip for years. For me, they just feel better and helps me avoid a death-grip. It might be a good exercise for you to put one on a favorite full swing club rather than your wedges, though, since we often hold them differently anyway. Either way, you can try it out for a bit before committing to the entire set.

I switched over to Golfpride MCC +4 midsize and I'll never look back. Like many others have said, I no longer feel like I'm squeezing the grip so hard. My hands are much more relaxed. Which in turn allows me to just let the club release instead of forcing it. I have small hands so it took a few swings to get used to. But I'm not going back.

I've used both, but ended up just going with the standard +4 reduced taper grips. I tended to have a lot more miss hits with the mid-sized grips, but it's really a feel thing. I would measure your hands first to make sure what the recommended size is, and then regrip one of your mid irons with it for a range session to see if you like it or not.

I've used standard sized grips for a while, but I recently upgraded to almost midsize by building up standard grips with 3 wraps and I like it a lot. I do notice my grip isn't as death grippy.

Just ordered new wedges from sub70 and decided to try midsize grips. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Have been using midsize grips for years, wouldn't want to go back to standard.
