How important is finding the correct grip size. I find out here by testing out 4 different grip sizes to see what gives the best distance and accuracy.
I use the Winn DriTac LT midsize but will swap to the oversize or the JumboMax small(the less tapered one) soon. I have ligament\tendon and Ulnar nerve damage in right elbow and a little carpal tunnel. The larger grips just make it easier to hold onto clubs when I am hurting as grip strength weakens with the pain. I have never tried to test if I hook it more or hit it farther with bigger grips though.
I was curious and tried some jumbo cpx grips. I found everything to be a club short. I realize now plus4 are my favorite! BTW I have a set of jumbos for sale!
I switched from regular to jumbo grips and got more distance and accuracy. Shot my lowest score ever at the end of last season. Most golfers I play with block and slice drivers all day with standard grips so I would say at least midsize for increased grip and control. The grip model is also important. I think grips with high tack like the GP CP2 wrap, IOMIC sticky and Winn Dri-Tac are awesome.
I think it’s all preference.. on my irons I like the grip to barely be bigger than the shaft, I feel like I have more control of the face but in the driver I like something a little meatier, a little softer, it feels more stable to me.
If you go even larger you might find that your shots go left... I had been playing jumbomax mediums (huge) and I was fighting a massive hook because the grip being so big it was causing my actual grip to be way to strong on my right hand in order to feel comfortable swinging hard at impact. I recently switched to a less tapered midsized grip and have really straightened things out.
I’ve gone between midsize and standard about a thousand times…. Results wise there is no noticeable difference. I say play whatever is most comfortable.
I use regular size grips with one extra wrap of tape, something this amateur didn't know about. One wrap extra equals + 1/64 or midway between the standard and mid. this was what the Callaway fitters set me up with and it works great.
Be aware that not all grips react the same to build up tape. Some will stretch thinner so that the final diameter actually stays the same because the rubber now has to cover more surface area. The result is a grip of the same diameter but with a firmer feel do to the tighter rubber.
Great video. I love the TM 300 Mini driver. What shaft are you using? Is it a fairway wood shaft or a driver shaft that's been tipped? I'm thinking of tipping my driver shaft (HZRDUS Black RDX 6.5) and putting in on the mini driver.
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 your thoughts ? thx for your videos cheers from Vulcan Canada
You seem you be very knowledgeable on grips and I’ve watched so many of your grip/regripping videos and appreciate all the information. I just have a question for you regarding midsize. The specific grip I want to go to is a standard option (The team grips from superstore) is building up the tape 4 wraps a good enough fox or should I stick with a midsize option
It will change the feel because you end up stretching out the rubber. Honestly even with 4 wraps it probably won't be the same size. I would recommend finding the grips you want online as they have more midsize options.
I go with size. The difference in SW between standard to mid or standard to under, is about the same but very different results. Jumbo was obviously the biggest difference but again difference between mid and jumbo is about the same as standard to midsize.
I've just started this experiment with my driver after fighting a massive push slice that has seen my drivers in and out of my golf bag for 40 years that lessons have never managed to fix. I have put a Jumbo CP2 wrap grip on my current driver and now have started hitting a draw and finding the l/h side of the fairway. It's too early to tell if this is placebo or a fix but it's been nice to not see the push slice.
@@stevoislookingforgolfballs8046 Thats exactly what i was going for too, jumbo only for driver - i have midsizes on irons and i feel those are perfect, but driver could use extra fatty grip for control. might give it a try !
Certainly, it would be likely that a person‘s glove size would come into play. Since you do custom fittings, I would think you would have some guidance as to what sizes of grip to test or start off with basedon glove size.
Curious what the weight difference was among those grips…I would imagine the weight difference among them would affect your swing dynamic. I’ve found some mid-sized grips that are the same weight as my normal standards grips, and they feel much better for me…love them.
I don’t know if it is the thicker grip that influences the face. Or is it the fact that you are changing the balance point and swing weight of the club?
Go with size personally. Difference from standard was the same with the mid and the undersize (about 2SWPs), but the mid felt good and gave good results and the undersize didn't. Jumbo made it even lighter SW, again about same difference from mid to jumbo but the jumbo just felt very very different in the hands.
The undersize increased the SW by 2pts. The jumbo probably dropped the SW by 5pts. Maybe a factor with the jumbo but really think the size is the big difference.
Definitely not used to anything big in my hand. Nice post.
That's what she said
@@bigbluemsp usually its are you in or done. Lol.
Great informative content as usual. You’ve really progressed from your previous channel, well done 👍🏾
This kind of objective detailed video deserves a sub! Done!
I had a midsize grip for a couple of months then went back to standard and kept it in the fairway more often.

would love to see other grips as well, non tapered and reversed tapered. I like the feeling of bottom hand bigger or same size as top.

Nice video. I wonder about grip taper too? Feels like it’s important but not really specd for some reason.

I have the jumbo max tour small on all my clubs outside of putter and I now hit a small draw to “straight” shot instead of a big slice
It’s been a big relief in my game

I like standard and midsize. I’ve used jumbo, and it just didn’t feel right.
Jumbo because my big miss is the smoother hook

Cool test! Curious if it’s the size if the grip or change in swing weight/total weight that has the most influence on outcomes.

Any updates? currently wondering should i switch for jumbo atleast for my driver.
@@villerautio7204 it did work for me on my driver, but I couldn't adapt to it for my irons and hybrids.
@@stevoislookingforgolfballs8046 Thats exactly what i was going for too, jumbo only for driver - i have midsizes on irons and i feel those are perfect, but driver could use extra fatty grip for control. might give it a try !
Certainly, it would be likely that a person‘s glove size would come into play. Since you do custom fittings, I would think you would have some guidance as to what sizes of grip to test or start off with basedon glove size.

These PURE grips all change a good amount with size. Winn and JumboMax are two options that don't.
I don’t know if it is the thicker grip that influences the face. Or is it the fact that you are changing the balance point and swing weight of the club?
Go with size personally. Difference from standard was the same with the mid and the undersize (about 2SWPs), but the mid felt good and gave good results and the undersize didn't. Jumbo made it even lighter SW, again about same difference from mid to jumbo but the jumbo just felt very very different in the hands.
What effect did the different size grips have on swing weight? Could that be a factor too?
The undersize increased the SW by 2pts. The jumbo probably dropped the SW by 5pts. Maybe a factor with the jumbo but really think the size is the big difference.
What about +4 grips compared to regular tapered grips? Are there similar downsides, or are they more of a just for a players feel?
They both quiet the hands but the Plus4 works more on the trailing hand while the overall bigger grips influences the lead hand more.
It’s weird how you couldn’t turn over an undersized grip.
Max ball speed with the standard. What about the swing speed? Did you lost some swing speed with bigger grip?
Stayed constant on head speed.
Grips are extremely important, it's the only thing your hands touch on the club. You'd better get it right or you'll never play your best. Cheers.
What glove size are you? You seem tall with big hands, I'm surprised you normally play a standard size grip
Long arms, 6ft, but pretty standard hand. Medium glove.
@@EFG2 yeah, I'm a cadet small glove. Definitely built up undersize grips for me.
Stronger grip, bigger grip better. So called ''nutural'' grip requires way more wrist rotation, and so, less consistant re the direction.
