Currently using Golf Pride Tour Velvet Midsize. Wear a medium golf glove but have gone with midsize grips just cause I feel less likely to over grip the club. They may overall be wrong but for the moment that the reason I use these grips
I use a standard grip and slice. A big brand club fitter said to use a standard grip however Ping’s online web fit recommended undersize grips! So maybe Ping was truly correct
Alex, I currently use Golf Pride Tour Wraps (like the tacky feel) in the Standard sizing. Two years ago I tried the same grip but in a midsize and after a fair evaluation, I found my hands weren't releasing like they should. I then went back to the Standard sizing but with an extra layer of tape and while the release was somewhat better, it was a struggle. So I've returned to the Standard sizing and all is well. I guess the lesson is to experiment. I'm 65 now and play to a 4.
Grip size was integral to my club fitting after i told the fitter about the beginnings of arthritis in my right hand. The result is a standard golf pride mcc+4 so the bottom of the grip is the same width as the top. Been great thus far.
As I watch this video my clubs are being regripped from Standard to Medium to see if it will improve strike. Already put the grips in the fingers and not the palms. Fingers were touching the palms after going around the grip, meaning standard was too small. Never realized it was a problem until seeing videos on the issue. Needed to correct the 'death grip' I've been using for decades. Hope to try them out this weekend. Used the CPX2 on my woods. My irons and wedges are Align Tour Velvet.
Just switched to the Jumbomax XL ultralite grips a few months ago. They have been amazing! My hands have been much "quieter" and it has been easier to hit straight shots. The lower grip pressure has also reduced pain issues in my hands.
I use Winn midsize dri-tac gray. I also wear an XXL glove. I take a medication that swells my hands and feet. I used to wear a cadet xl. Also I used to wear a 10.5 shoe but now an eleven feels so good I wear a twelve.😅 I was told to make sure you fingernails do not dig into fat part of your hand.
I used standard for years, I went to the Golf Pride Midsize MCC + and they are a total game changer, I always struggled with a slice, that totally vanished, and I hit dead straight with my irons, I have a draw with my driver. just changing grip size.
I currently use a jumbo Max extra small golf grip on my Mavrik golf driver. I have standard grips on my remaining clubs. The jumbo Max grip on my driver just relaxes my hands. And my other clubs feel fine with standard grips
Jumbomax Ultralite... JumboXS on driver, Jumbomax ST8 xs ..all irons..briiliant . no more pain and straight . easy to set swing weights as they are so Light.. .hands Medium Large.
My glove size is Medium-Large, but I use the JumboMax UltraLite midsize which is bigger than the other grip manufacturer's jumbo grips. It didn't change my swing at all; I still hit with a slight draw. A GolfPride midsize feels like I am holding a pencil.
Good reminder on size of the grips. Also, change the grips! Sure do see plenty of people with glossy years old grips. Replace them more often than you think. I do mine twice. Winter for spring-summer golf, then summer replacement for hot August weather through fall golf.
I have small hands and I've found that oversized or jumbo grips work the best for me. I have way better control of the club face than I did with normal grips.
I am waiting for my customized Takomo 101Ts with Lamkin Crossline over-sized grips. Ordered them 3 weeks ago. I just switched my driver, 3h and 3w grips to oversized. It was really difficult to find info and even more difficult to find a golf dealership that had all sizes available for trying. I managed to find one and I am pretty sure I made the right choice for myself. Based on one range session it sure takes some time to get used to but I noticed right away that my grip is now a lot more relaxed.
As a 7 handicap was playing Winn midsize grips for the past 4 years (replaced every 2 years) but recently went back to a Golf Pride MCC standard grip and have never hit the ball better. Time will tell.
I use golf pride multi compound black and blue with one layer of tape. I find these grips are great whatever the weather rain or dry and even if the temperature is hot they ensure that your grip doesn’t slip. I have used them for years and have them re-gripped every couple of years as I play 4/5 times a week minimum!
If you have a strong grip(working on it🙈) are bigger grips going to help or hinder, wear a medium large glove and recently got mid size for new G430 and really like feel!?
a man who wears size small gloves tries to review large grips...how does this work? my hands are 3-4 sizes larger then him. that would be like me review undersized grips. i cant so if a guy with size small gloves thinks midsized grips are to small, who are udersized grips for? 5 year olds?
Switched my grips from standard to midsize during off season to get used to it during winter indoor range sessions. It’s been a great move since I got too hands’y and my finger nails were digging to my palms
You beat me to it he hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about on times I put these grips on my club I went from D4 to C8 ball was going slightly further, then I would pull it and overdraw it took me few months to get use to but didn’t like it so I go back to standard size with 4 layers of tape and bit of lead on my club now they D2 happy with that
I used to buy Lamkin crossline .58 midsize. I then bought Karma.60 "Crossline look" midsize (+0.3) and added 3 layers of tape because they were too small. Last week, I bought Karma again but in Jumbo size (+0.6), now they are perfect. Different brands, different sizes.
Jumbomax Tour Med +5/16 on Iron and Wedges, Jumbomax UltraLite Med on Driver and Woods. As soon as I changed over all of my shots were straighter. It also forced me to learn how to turn over the club with purpose. The effect is less pronounced on irons since I already hit those decently well. On Driver however, I went from always slicing and toping the ball to hitting solid straight drives. Highly recommended.
Honma Xp-1 Driver has a tapered and very soft grip but I was bombing it unti I noticed that my right hand was simply not in control enough as it aged and was basically over drawing my drives. Did some research on Facetube and decided to go for the 4+ Golf Pride Mid sixe grip. Now tending to square the face better with a baby fade as a miss which is far more preferrable I just have to adjust my line off the tee now. Another thing often overlooked is having the same grips and shafts in your wedges as you irons I am sure you can talk us through that one too Alex?
Lamkin Cross line mid size but two layers of tape half way down to reduce taper on irons down to 50, woods, 54,60 no extra tape. Want a better feel from high loft wedges and woods just feel better thinner I tend to get "handsy" with my lower hand turning over. My set up anyway.
I had the feeling for the longest time that I wasn't able to properly grip my clubs which had standard size grips. Switched out my irons to the GP CPX midsize and immediately noticed a stable, better, connection and feel to the swing. However I've kept my driver, 3 wood and hybrids standard because it allows me a better release pattern and cuts my slice.
I've got a standard size lamkin grip on my driver but with 4 tape wraps, makes it closer to a midsize but with less weight than a full midsize grip. Keeps my swing weight where I want it. Hybrid, 4 iron and 5 iron I have JumboMax ultralite XS (Jumbo) grips, 6 iron to lob wedge all standard golf pride grips. I don’t have huge hands, what I’ve found from a year or so with the bigger size grips is that i’m not having to squeeze so hard to get a solid tight grip on the club, but it also didn't take long to notice how much less my hand position influences face angle with the bigger grips. I use standard size grips on 6-lob wedge because I want to be able to work those clubs with draws and fades more and have better feel around the greens with the wedges and really manipulate my hands more when i need to.
I use Lamkin Sonar + Black standard grips on my irons and Sonar + Black midsize on my hybrids and driver. I use PXG irons, hybrids, and drivers. I can add weight to the heads to achieve the D3 swing weight that I like. The midsize grip on the woods allows me to go after it without turning the ball over too much.
I'm playing Golf Pride mid-sized tour wrap 2g grips. Although I tend to fade the ball, I'm getting older and have some arthritis in my hands. I find that the larger, softer, and tacky grips help me gain confidence in my grip so I can swing with less grip pressure which lets me square the face and makes golf less painful for me.
It’s funny I have the exact same Lamkin 360 std grey grips on my irons you showed on the irons. And I have the Golf Pride CPX on my wedges for a different feel there. They are an interesting texture
I currently have Golfpride Tour Velvet Midsize grips on pretty much every thing am gonna try the MCC +4 midsize grips on a couple of my woods to see if i like them and if i do like them will switch them all thx for your videos cheers from Vulcan Canada
That was really lazy Alex, it would have been a lot better had you put the grips on shafts and preferably hit balls too to give real feedback.On a different note, how much difference do additional wraps make?
You need to make a video on swing weight the lighter it is the fast you swing, the faster you swing the harder it is to square the club face when you can’t feel the weight of the club head, you’re in trouble
