I went to midsize grips in all three of my wedges 3 years ago. Loved them. So much so, I then switched to trying a midsize on my driver months later. Hit more fairways. Right then, switched all the clubs in the bag to midsize grips. I use Golf Pride Midsize CP2 Pro grips. I don't use a glove and prefer these as they are tacky. They will remain tacky for a 4-5 years if you wash them. I use a bit of dish washing soap in the sink and wash them once a week during the season as I play about 5 times a week. Also, I use a trolley and walk. No problems getting the clubs in and out of the bag. It's not a Stand bag walkers use. It's a 10" - with 14 way club divider
I have midsize grips on all my irons but recently switched to jumbo grips on the driver and fairway woods. I feel the jumbo grips have really helped my dispersion with woods. Enjoy your honesty when you test equipment.....keep em coming.
I recently switched to jumbo grips and the result has been stunning. I have big hands to begin with and I’m left-handed. I spent six months troubleshooting why all my shots were going to the left even though my body was open to the target I was hitting the ball square each time, and I could literally turn parallel and be standing completely straight and still have my shots go left. I finally discovered that the reason they were going left in my case, was because my dominant hand was the one putting the power in to the shot at address through follow through. Once I increased the grip so that my right hand fit firmly around it I’m now able to keep that right hand in front of the ball and control the club more. Shots are straighter and shots are higher. My handicap went from a 28 to a 15 over a period of about four weeks practicing every day and playing five rounds of golf.
I used to be quite "handsy" with my clubs. Always tending to pull the ball to the left. I went to jumbo grips about 10 years ago and my ball flight it remarkably straight. No duck hooks anymore. Also when I purchased my Cleveland putter a few years back I wanted the huge putter grip. It too, quieted my hands and improved my putting considerably. So from my experience...GO BIG!
I got these on all my clubs, they were just magic for me. I was a club longer, and I just felt like hitting the ball became a bit more forgiving. I didn’t change anything on how I swing. I felt like it just added forgiveness. I will never go back
Very interesting! Thank you! It's funny. I learnt golf decades ago before modern wedges (we had a regular PW @48 in those days and an SW). But for chipping, maybe because of Ballesteros, we used all the clubs depending how far from the putting surface (anything from a 2 iron to SW) - chip and run with a putting stroke was the basic one unless you were more than a certain distance, but it's interesting to me how much that has changed. The versatility from using all your irons was something to this day I still like to do (use traditional lofts, not beefy modern ones)... Cheers!
I changed to Jumbo Max ultra lite medium grips for all my clubs. Arthritis in my hands urged me on to try these. I have found I grip softer and reduced my pain greatly. I was pleasantly surprised to find more benefits than I counted on. A softer hold on my grip means more control from a more relaxed swing. Hands naturally turn over during a swing. There is no need to force your hands to turn over.
Thanks for that response Al : long story short I got jumbo grips on old clubs but didn't bother with new irons apart from keeping jumbo grip on hybrid. My hands are starting to get arthritic too with quite a bit of discomfort in ring finger particularly. Doesn't feel too bad when playing except when using the hybrid and if I slightly mishit (who am I kidding, when I mostly mishit!!) it's really quite painful. Really glad the jumbos work for you though.
@@DavesRabbitHole Thanks David : I’ll check those other grips out. Far too young for you to be getting arthritis champ! Hopefully doesn’t interfere with your golf too much. I ended up changing the grip on my hybrid to supposedly an ‘arthritis friendly’ grip - a Lamkin - but found that it slips in my hands some of the time … or it could be that I’m just looking for another excuse 😁
I recently went back to Jumbomax, right through the bag (Med UL). I did it mainly because I'm not getting any younger and my fingers sometimes get sore if I play/hit balls a lot, which I usually do. They don't stop me from hooking the ball, and if anything they make it easier to turn the club face. I think it stands to reason that you apply more torque with a larger grip than you can with a skinnier grip. I mean, if you're trying to take out a really tight screw, you're going to want a larger handle on the screwdriver, not a skinny one. I've used them in the past also, and the only part about them I didn't like was having to adjust the swing weight due to their weight, and having to stick with a large bag. The new UL solve the swing weight issue, but the not the room in the bag issue. Availability is sometimes an issue, as well.
This will be my 2nd season using Jumblmax XL Grips in all my Clubs and love them. I only carry 12 clubs max in my Bag so fitting them in isn't an issue for me. The main benefits for me is a tighter dispersion, increased distance and no pain, for me it's a no brainer👍 The only downside is trying to use a club with a standard sized grip is now almost impossible to hold, so testing new Clubs is a bit of an issue
Thank you Jeff that is a brilliant suggestion👍👍 The winter months are unfortunately golf free for me these days, but as soon as it starts getting warmer I will try your suggestion out when I test new clubs
I had a cyst burst in my right wrist and I am a right hand golfer 4 months ago. Surgeon could only do a cortisone shot and then some hand PT. Still only thing that aggravated my wrist was golf. Followed the Jumbo max fitting guide so ended up with the XS ultralite and what a game changer. No more pain and I'm finding that the lag is better, overall just so happy that I made the switch. I tried my 58, 8 iron and driver first to see how it felt. Super weird but defiantly more staple with no pain so worth a try if you have any kind of pain.
I switched to midsize grips on all my clubs even though according to my hand size I should use standard. I don't use a glove , the gloves makes me grip the club to hard, so the larger size give me the feeling of more control and confidence. Great topics really like watching you videos.
I’ve moved to oversize grips because I’ve got big hands and don’t wear a glove. It keeps me from gripping and re gripping. Dropped my handicap from 19 to 12 and still going down.
Nice video - didn’t go jumbo on wedges but went to CP2 wraps which are slightly thicker and they keep the hands quiet round the greens - but not for anything else👍
That was the main reason I changed to oversized grips about 20 years ago, It keeps you from your hands getting flippy and more consistent through the hitting zone. For us senior golfers you don't have to squeeze as hard on the grip either, Less pain in the hands
Hi Andy, I've been playing with jumbo grips for 3 months now and I must say you need to stick with them for a while, now I don't even think about it with club in hand,I'm definitely straighter. Also my right little finger has stopped hurting after a round of golf, cheers
I just switched to jumbo max ultra light on all clubs except the driver. I'm 71 and probably about a 15 handicap. I'm at the range 3 times a week and play a round once a week so I hit a lot of balls. Only had them for about 2 weeks now but other than feeling weird at first, haven't noticed any problem with consistency or flight. Just takes some getting used to. Fitting them in the bag could be a problem as you mentioned here. Overall, it eliminates the pain (arthritis) I was feeling in my left thumb (I'm a right hander) so mission accomplished.
I made the jump 2 years ago to MidSized Plus 4 Align Grips on all clubs - I think it gives you 80% of the benefit and you can still fit everything in your bag.
Had the same thought on fitting these jumbo grips in the bag. I have medium grips on my clubs and at times get frustrated with the jiggling and manoeuvering it takes to seat them properly. The less stress on course, the better! 😂 I think the feel element of jumbo's is like trying anything new, you'll just become accustomed to their characteristics!
1st club i put a jumbo on was my 56* wedge about 3yrs ago still on there just changed to jumbomax ultralite xs str8’s from cp2 pro jumbo. I’m working my way through my bag woods and long irons have jumbomax on, irons still have winn dri tac lt oversize on but will be changed at some point. For me i find i get much better control, not for everyone but i’d say have a try.
I’ve gone mid size grips and I’m so much more consistent now! It helped me stop hooking the ball. One thing though I launch them higher now for some reason
You're probably compressing the ball more. I was in a fitting at Vidanta in Puerto Vallarta and the largest grip they had was a medium. We wrapped a washcloth around a normal size grip and I swung with it. Straightened my shot right out and my smash factor went from 2.1 to 3.5
Hi Andy another great video. I’ve change all my grips to jumbo max ultralight small has improved my game by keeping my wrists quite in swing helping to stop the low left shot which is a killer and my shots seem very straight at moment fingers crossed.so thanks for your videos on jumbo max grips it did persuaded me to look at other jumbo max videos on RUclips ie Peter finch and finally get my set re gripped so thanks Andy , Ian
I've put the mid size (not jumbo) grip (mid size grip ~15g heavier than the normal grip) on my 54 wedge and I hit & chip a lot straighter. Like you said, keeps the club head from over drawing left of the target, which has been my nemesis all along. Will put on the mid size grip on my 58 to see how it compares with the more nuance speciality / flop shots.
I’ve put midsize +4 reduced taper on all of my irons. Really helps with my arthritis, lightened my grip pressure. Hitting everything straight is easier and I found I could draw the ball easier also. Not really great with my wedges but haven’t noticed any worse with the midsize.
Tried jumbo grips on the gap and lob wedges (usually mid-size) but I found it was too difficult to get the club face alignment correctly set up for any length other than very short chips. Really bad from 50 yards and further - missing left and right. Tried the jumbos for 5 or 6 rounds, but I've now gone back to mid size on every club. Good point at 9.24 about using the same grip for all the clubs. The real problem I found at all points is that if you want to have your fingers under the grip in a given way, then you have to change the placement of your thumbs on the top. If I got my lead thumb under the pad of my trailing thumb then I had to change the finger positions under the club. This conflict created odd situations across all the clubs. Hence back to med size for all clubs.
I followed your advice on my Driver and 5W with bigger grips, they may not be jumbo, but I like them. I will not go through the bag though - no issues for me transitioning between woods and irons re grips
I just played a round with the Zen jumbo grips on my 7i and driver and have to say i hit straighter, so i placed an order for the rest of my clubs and am getting ready to put them on now well after I finish poopin! Hit em straight boys and girls!
My hands are small. I use mid-size Golf Pride Cp2 grips with 2 wraps. I tried jumbo grips. I am staying with mid-size grips on all my clubs. Helps with two things: arthritis and dispersion.
I suffer from chipping yips and put them on my wedges, works well, stops me from gripping to tight and the resulting thin!! Great on fuller shots too. I have one on my driver to see, not wholly convinced on that yet….
Would be interesting using a mix of mid and above grips how well do they fit in an average bag that all jumbomax struggle to fit in and does the difference in widths when graduated or smaller difference than std and jumbo mix. Plenty of questions that need considering. Pretty sure your channel is big enough for you to reach out and them supply you with the grips required plus maybe someone come along and discuss them with you during a round so great advertising for them if they believe in their product. Just got a Jumbomax xl on a demo iron and a couple of the same grip in medium to try. I have xl size gloves so hopefully one will be ideal as I have issues with my right hand so std small narrow grips feel should I say wrong these days for me the jumbomax feels so much more comfortable and less starined.
I have nothing but good things to say about jumbomax grips. I use them and love them. But if you are interested in them, make sure your golf bag accepts the size of grip. Bags with individual slots for clubs are pretty tight. I have a ping DLX bag and the biggest grip I can get into the slot is medium. So just check your bag before you order. But as I said, I recommend them.
Me too, wish to change fr medium to jumbo small, but gone be tough to put in a normal bag, change to a bigger bag would give me a transport problem, because we use 1 car for 4 golfers, 3 bags + a bigger bag would not fit in the trunk, should I buy a new car too?😂😂😂
Takes a little of getting used to but there is no way I would go back, I've tried the original Jumbomax but they were too heavy, I really liked the Zen Lite but they were horrific in the rain or extreme heat, the newer Zen grips are perfect for me, sit on the lighter side which is great and the grip feels much more reliable in all weather conditions. I actually have a staggered grip set now, driver through to 6 are Jumbomax Zen small, 7,8,9 are medium and all my wedges are large. I don't have large hands, I wear a small/medium glove but have played cricket and other sports with a larger grip so these feel more natural to me, also have a very body orientated swing with minimal wrist set and have always struggled against a hook and pull draw with wedges, in that scenario the zen grips also again are ideal. It's all about matching your swing characteristics. My last 5 scores before swapping were 84,86,90,87,88 and my last 5 with the Zen grips are 80, 79, 76, 76, 74* (lowest ever round)
Haha, I am tempted and have ordered a couple of jumbo grips to try out myself but the one thing I thought was exactly that: How do I fit them all in a bag if I switch?!?
I had the same experience. At first it feels strange, doesn't feel like you can swing as fast, however I definitely hit the ball straighter. It prob just takes a little while to adjust .
I have mid size on wedges and have in past had oversize and agree trying to manipulate with standard oversize was ok but not sure if I could handle jumbo
I watched your other videos on using the Jumbo grips on the driver and irons and purchased a few and installed them and tried them out, but they were not for me and I tried various sizes of Jumbo grips, did not work for me, so went back to my standard grips and just relaxed my grip on different shots and shots were back to what I wanted, no jumbo grips for me.
I switched to the Jumbo Max grips after considerable research and trial. Initially, installing the Tour Series grips on my 5 & 7 woods and the Ultra-lite grips on my 5 & 6 hybrids. After about a dozen rounds, I decided to go with the Tour Series on all the other clubs in the bag. After playing with the Tour Series Grips for about 20 rounds, I made the decision to swap them out for the Ultra-lites. I just was not getting the feel for where the clubhead was with the Tour Series grips. Probably due to their weight (100g vs 55g of a standard grip). I did not find the "science" of the backweighting theory (i.e. heavier grip = lighter clubhead = more clubhead speed = more distance) to work in my case. I went to the JumboMax because I have consistently had a problem of regripping the club at the top of the swing for a number of years. My better rounds were always when I controlled the regripping. The JumboMax grips have almost completely solved my habit of regripping at the top of the swing. I have hit more consistent solid shots with the Jumbo Max grips. Another benefit of the grips is that I have/had a problem with golfer/tennis elbow on both elbows and had to wear an elbow support on each arm. I no longer have to wear the supports. The only downside to installing these grips in my view, at this time, have been 1) needed to up size the golf-bag to accommodate the grips; 2) the cost of a set (13) of Ultra-Lite grips in US$ is north of $250; and 3) buying new clubs is going to be an adventure because the "standard" grip now feels so foreign and different.
I've got them on driver, 3 wood and 5 wood but have gone slightly smaller on the 3 then next size down on the 5 as they do a few different sizes have taught about putting the smaller ones on my irons but its an expensive experiment if it goes wrong
I love using jumbomax lite grips but I would say , nowadays the golf Carry bags and cart bags do not really accommodate the bigger grips , its tighter and have problems putting in and getting clubs out a pain
I have the Jumbomax Ultralite XS on my driver and fairway wood (4 wood) and feel I have better control of the club and add more power to the swing and hit it straighter. I have a midsize grip on my sand wedge that I am trying and will determine if I want either the Jumbomax or the midsize on my other clubs. I, too, am concerned about having Jumbomax on all clubs and the clubs fitting into my bag. Perhaps Jumbomax should have a "Jumbo Bag" for their grips!!
If you get these grips you have to get sized properly. These jumbo grips come in different thicknesses, so make sure you get the right ones. I’m 6’4” 230lbs and had to get a medium. Having said that I put these in my 56 and instantly felt way more inc control of it. I feel I have more touch around the greens with them. I did tend to leave more chip shots short, but I think that’s me just trying to finesse them too much now that I feel like I can. Other than that I’m really happy with em.
You should try one on a putter. I put one on a few years ago just for jollies and never took it off. Took my hands completely out of the equation. Square the face with my eyes like every other club and it becomes an easy slight arc stroke. More consistent than anything else I've ever tried. As for hand placement, upper hand goes on in a weak position, lower hand lifeline goes over upper hand middle finger. I'm sure that will be different for everyone, but I would recommend you at least try it.
Switched to Jumbomax grips on all my clubs, Medium on my Driver and fairways, small on my irons and wedges, the best change I have made. I'm not sure why you can't shape your shots as I do not have any issue with hitting either a draw or fade. If have to change anything I would put small grips on my driver and fairway woods so that they are all the same size and will probably never go back to skinny grips again.
I have no problem with Jumbo grips on wedges and being able to bring the wrists into play. But I do wrist curls with fairly heavy weights. Whether that has any effects or not, I don't know. Have Jumbo grips on all clubs, with double wraps underneath.
Think they do stop you turning your wrists over easily and for some of your wedge shots if you want or it makes the shot easier to play strait then that's good . The amount of hours Bryson has putt in to be able to play the variety of shots. What about the midsized jumbo grips would they be still to big to fit the bag
My experience is Jumbomax grips help relax my hands, especially given the effects of age and arthritis. Relaxed hands make for improved swing and contact. I do my own club work and did try different Jumbomax grips. I settled on JM Str8 ultralite medium on my irons and JM ultralite medium (tapered) for my woods. Do not be afraid to experiment.
Interesting video I have jumbo grips on all my clubs except my S and LW clubs. Felt like I closed the face to much with those so I kept the midsize on those. I was wondering when someone was going to test this theory. I may go back to the jumbos on those clubs. I’m sure it was just me not the grip that was causing me to shut the face lol
We are all different, but I use jumbo grips on all my clubs, keeps my hands and grip consistent, so for me they just the job. But now I can't use normal standard size now
I've just changed to jumbo grips and it's very strange because the best part of my game was always my driver and I struggled with my irons, especially long irons so I used rescue clubs. But now I'm better with everything except my driver ? 🤔 . I'm a 10 handicap by the way.
Switching to these. Already have big grips but want a bit more, and the JumboMax I had on my previous set lasted seemingly for ages, certainly longer than the "normal" tour wraps I had. Removing the "flip factor" from my wedges is something I really need, thank you for that comment and I can believe it. Ruined a great pair of shots today when my wrists flipped - have been grooving a more body turn chipping motion with good success - then today, on two holes, the dreaded flip with resulting thin shot and the ball going completely over the green. ARRGGHHH. When one starts making notes on the card it is really easy to find areas where strokes can be shaved off, and the pitch and chip are where I know I can rapidly shave some more.
But what is the definition of 'feel'? For me, its the right choice of club/length of swing/identification of lie/shot selection; I can play easily with winter gloves and my 'feel' is just as good!
i have mid size so I tried the jumbo grips on two wedges and it turned out to be an expensive failed experiment. My full set of mid size make my huge Cart bag very very very tight.
Hi Andy I can get 14 clubs with JumboMax grips into a pencil bag. I have a stand bag which again is no issue. Get them put on your clubs and stop worrying about it.
My observation is d not use a string grips on short clubs As the great Jack Nicklaus did hold them more like a putter swing like a putter Will change your control These gris are so good with more single plane Hands more high at address Fixed my back and now have further distance
You take your backswing way inside and then you come over the top on the downswing. So the pull to the left is built into your swing and the fat grip is a Band-Aid
So you hit the ball further and straighter with the Jumbo Max grips but you don’t play them because they don’t fit in your bag? Are you serious? Get a bigger bag!
If you understand the maths behind golf you would understand the more tapper on a grip the more you can turn it over simple mass small grip with tapper more hook larger and less tapper less hook that’s why the straight ist hitter off all time had no tapper
Unless there is a local rule, I'd check the rules of golf regrips. I believe that as long as they do not have bumps or excessive grooves and they are a round grip they comply.
As a former tennis player with a strong right-handed forehand, I am constantly fighting an over-active right hand. The jumbo grips help a lot, but are not foolproof. Why should any of us believe that there is a magic bullet that will cure all of our faults?
get a tour bag.... 99 percent of the time today either people take a cart or when they walk they use a push cart... barely anyone walks and carries a small bag.... get a tour bag and put them on your clubs and get that performance!!!!
Not only will you need a new bag, you will also need all new clubheads that are heavier. Swing weight being the key here. Bigger heavier grips throw the swing weight off. Swing weight is kind of important, don't you think. If you are going to experiment with heavier grips, learn the importance of swing weight, find the the right swing weight for you then build the clubs to that swing weight, whatever type of grip you choose. Same goes for just adding tape. It changes swing weight. I'm guessing you will struggle with the feel shots because you can't feel the head.
Uses the wrong wedge on a uphill Lie… pitching over a bunker… hits it fat… Blames the grip… hahahaha Man I actually thought this was a legit channel… smh
Listening to a super amateur you tuber talk about his game like a pro would is beyond laughable… The last thing an average golfer needs in their short game is “feel”. That just translate to handsy.
@@TheAverageGolfer and of course everyone here knew you would respond with some lame amateur comment… took you less than ten minutes to do so… Like I said… At one point in time I thought this was a legitimate channel.. not so much…

What size jumbomax did you end up settling on? Did you go with the Ultralight?

bring a washcloth and wrap it around the grip of any club you're going to try. Works perfectly to simulate the jumbo xl

The less stress on course, the better! 😂 I think the feel element of jumbo's is like trying anything new, you'll just become accustomed to their characteristics!
1st club i put a jumbo on was my 56* wedge about 3yrs ago still on there just changed to jumbomax ultralite xs str8’s from cp2 pro jumbo. I’m working my way through my bag woods and long irons have jumbomax on, irons still have winn dri tac lt oversize on but will be changed at some point. For me i find i get much better control, not for everyone but i’d say have a try.
I’ve gone mid size grips and I’m so much more consistent now! It helped me stop hooking the ball. One thing though I launch them higher now for some reason
You're probably compressing the ball more. I was in a fitting at Vidanta in Puerto Vallarta and the largest grip they had was a medium. We wrapped a washcloth around a normal size grip and I swung with it. Straightened my shot right out and my smash factor went from 2.1 to 3.5
Hi Andy another great video. I’ve change all my grips to jumbo max ultralight small has improved my game by keeping my wrists quite in swing helping to stop the low left shot which is a killer and my shots seem very straight at moment fingers crossed.so thanks for your videos on jumbo max grips it did persuaded me to look at other jumbo max videos on RUclips ie Peter finch and finally get my set re gripped so thanks Andy , Ian
I've put the mid size (not jumbo) grip (mid size grip ~15g heavier than the normal grip) on my 54 wedge and I hit & chip a lot straighter. Like you said, keeps the club head from over drawing left of the target, which has been my nemesis all along.
Will put on the mid size grip on my 58 to see how it compares with the more nuance speciality / flop shots.
I’ve put midsize +4 reduced taper on all of my irons. Really helps with my arthritis, lightened my grip pressure. Hitting everything straight is easier and I found I could draw the ball easier also. Not really great with my wedges but haven’t noticed any worse with the midsize.
i use the Jumbomax Str8 tech in x-small and I love them
What's your glove size?
I use these on all my clubs except putter and love them. Great video as always.
After trying a few JM grips on a few clubs they were ok.
Settled on standard plus4 mcc on irons and woods and went Mid Size plus4 mcc on wedges.
I did the same as Alan below this last weekend, went mid-sized cp2. hit the range with them and love them, I'm not squeezing the club as much.
Tried jumbo grips on the gap and lob wedges (usually mid-size) but I found it was too difficult to get the club face alignment correctly set up for any length other than very short chips. Really bad from 50 yards and further - missing left and right. Tried the jumbos for 5 or 6 rounds, but I've now gone back to mid size on every club. Good point at 9.24 about using the same grip for all the clubs.
The real problem I found at all points is that if you want to have your fingers under the grip in a given way, then you have to change the placement of your thumbs on the top. If I got my lead thumb under the pad of my trailing thumb then I had to change the finger positions under the club. This conflict created odd situations across all the clubs. Hence back to med size for all clubs.
Hi Andy, which type of grips are you using? I am using Lamkin crossline jumbo grips on everything but my wedges!
I followed your advice on my Driver and 5W with bigger grips, they may not be jumbo, but I like them. I will not go through the bag though - no issues for me transitioning between woods and irons re grips
I have jumbos on all my clubs love them wedge game has improved.
I just played a round with the Zen jumbo grips on my 7i and driver and have to say i hit straighter, so i placed an order for the rest of my clubs and am getting ready to put them on now well after I finish poopin! Hit em straight boys and girls!
My hands are small. I use mid-size Golf Pride Cp2 grips with 2 wraps. I tried jumbo grips. I am staying with mid-size grips on all my clubs. Helps with two things: arthritis and dispersion.
I suffer from chipping yips and put them on my wedges, works well, stops me from gripping to tight and the resulting thin!! Great on fuller shots too. I have one on my driver to see, not wholly convinced on that yet….
Would be interesting using a mix of mid and above grips how well do they fit in an average bag that all jumbomax struggle to fit in and does the difference in widths when graduated or smaller difference than std and jumbo mix.
Plenty of questions that need considering. Pretty sure your channel is big enough for you to reach out and them supply you with the grips required plus maybe someone come along and discuss them with you during a round so great advertising for them if they believe in their product.
Just got a Jumbomax xl on a demo iron and a couple of the same grip in medium to try. I have xl size gloves so hopefully one will be ideal as I have issues with my right hand so std small narrow grips feel should I say wrong these days for me the jumbomax feels so much more comfortable and less starined.
I have nothing but good things to say about jumbomax grips. I use them and love them. But if you are interested in them, make sure your golf bag accepts the size of grip. Bags with individual slots for clubs are pretty tight. I have a ping DLX bag and the biggest grip I can get into the slot is medium. So just check your bag before you order. But as I said, I recommend them.
Me too, wish to change fr medium to jumbo small, but gone be tough to put in a normal bag, change to a bigger bag would give me a transport problem, because we use 1 car for 4 golfers, 3 bags + a bigger bag would not fit in the trunk, should I buy a new car too?😂😂😂
I use the Golf Pride midsize +4 with 2 layers of tape. Perfect for me! 👍
Takes a little of getting used to but there is no way I would go back, I've tried the original Jumbomax but they were too heavy, I really liked the Zen Lite but they were horrific in the rain or extreme heat, the newer Zen grips are perfect for me, sit on the lighter side which is great and the grip feels much more reliable in all weather conditions. I actually have a staggered grip set now, driver through to 6 are Jumbomax Zen small, 7,8,9 are medium and all my wedges are large. I don't have large hands, I wear a small/medium glove but have played cricket and other sports with a larger grip so these feel more natural to me, also have a very body orientated swing with minimal wrist set and have always struggled against a hook and pull draw with wedges, in that scenario the zen grips also again are ideal. It's all about matching your swing characteristics. My last 5 scores before swapping were 84,86,90,87,88 and my last 5 with the Zen grips are 80, 79, 76, 76, 74* (lowest ever round)
I got a midsize mcc plus 4 to try. Hope they work without going crazy oversized.
Great review good suggestion about added tape
Haha, I am tempted and have ordered a couple of jumbo grips to try out myself but the one thing I thought was exactly that: How do I fit them all in a bag if I switch?!?
I had the same experience. At first it feels strange, doesn't feel like you can swing as fast, however I definitely hit the ball straighter. It prob just takes a little while to adjust .
I have mid size on wedges and have in past had oversize and agree trying to manipulate with standard oversize was ok but not sure if I could handle jumbo
I use small jumbo grip on my hybrids and woods. I have med. on my driver but might change to small jumbo
Hi mate - what are the trainers you have on? Love them!!
Always like your content! You do a great job!
I watched your other videos on using the Jumbo grips on the driver and irons and purchased a few and installed them and tried them out, but they were not for me and I tried various sizes of Jumbo grips, did not work for me, so went back to my standard grips and just relaxed my grip on different shots and shots were back to what I wanted, no jumbo grips for me.
I switched to the Jumbo Max grips after considerable research and trial. Initially, installing the Tour Series grips on my 5 & 7 woods and the Ultra-lite grips on my 5 & 6 hybrids. After about a dozen rounds, I decided to go with the Tour Series on all the other clubs in the bag. After playing with the Tour Series Grips for about 20 rounds, I made the decision to swap them out for the Ultra-lites. I just was not getting the feel for where the clubhead was with the Tour Series grips. Probably due to their weight (100g vs 55g of a standard grip). I did not find the "science" of the backweighting theory (i.e. heavier grip = lighter clubhead = more clubhead speed = more distance) to work in my case. I went to the JumboMax because I have consistently had a problem of regripping the club at the top of the swing for a number of years. My better rounds were always when I controlled the regripping. The JumboMax grips have almost completely solved my habit of regripping at the top of the swing. I have hit more consistent solid shots with the Jumbo Max grips. Another benefit of the grips is that I have/had a problem with golfer/tennis elbow on both elbows and had to wear an elbow support on each arm. I no longer have to wear the supports. The only downside to installing these grips in my view, at this time, have been 1) needed to up size the golf-bag to accommodate the grips; 2) the cost of a set (13) of Ultra-Lite grips in US$ is north of $250; and 3) buying new clubs is going to be an adventure because the "standard" grip now feels so foreign and different.
Fit fine through the bag with Jumbomax ultralite XS Str8 fit in my Titliest trolley bag, HTH
I've got them on driver, 3 wood and 5 wood but have gone slightly smaller on the 3 then next size down on the 5 as they do a few different sizes have taught about putting the smaller ones on my irons but its an expensive experiment if it goes wrong
I love using jumbomax lite grips but I would say , nowadays the golf Carry bags and cart bags do not really accommodate the bigger grips , its tighter and have problems putting in and getting clubs out a pain
I have the Jumbomax Ultralite XS on my driver and fairway wood (4 wood) and feel I have better control of the club and add more power to the swing and hit it straighter. I have a midsize grip on my sand wedge that I am trying and will determine if I want either the Jumbomax or the midsize on my other clubs. I, too, am concerned about having Jumbomax on all clubs and the clubs fitting into my bag. Perhaps Jumbomax should have a "Jumbo Bag" for their grips!!
If you get these grips you have to get sized properly. These jumbo grips come in different thicknesses, so make sure you get the right ones.
I’m 6’4” 230lbs and had to get a medium.
Having said that I put these in my 56 and instantly felt way more inc control of it. I feel I have more touch around the greens with them. I did tend to leave more chip shots short, but I think that’s me just trying to finesse them too much now that I feel like I can.
Other than that I’m really happy with em.
You should try one on a putter. I put one on a few years ago just for jollies and never took it off. Took my hands completely out of the equation. Square the face with my eyes like every other club and it becomes an easy slight arc stroke. More consistent than anything else I've ever tried. As for hand placement, upper hand goes on in a weak position, lower hand lifeline goes over upper hand middle finger. I'm sure that will be different for everyone, but I would recommend you at least try it.
There is a lighter non tapper version that is use and it’s amazing. I’ll never go back to the smaller grips.
Switched to Jumbomax grips on all my clubs, Medium on my Driver and fairways, small on my irons and wedges, the best change I have made. I'm not sure why you can't shape your shots as I do not have any issue with hitting either a draw or fade. If have to change anything I would put small grips on my driver and fairway woods so that they are all the same size and will probably never go back to skinny grips again.
Do you feel any differens between mid and small jumbomax, i think i will change to jumbomax, but i am not sure what size i need. I yse ML glove😄
@@pellepettersson6564 I have ML glove and use small jumbo max. Can’t complain and love the feel.
Got jumbo's on all mine due to arthritis in my knuckles.I find them much more manageable and easier than standard grips,,,still lose balls tho!!
I have no problem with Jumbo grips on wedges and being able to bring the wrists into play. But I do wrist curls with fairly heavy weights. Whether that has any effects or not, I don't know. Have Jumbo grips on all clubs, with double wraps underneath.
Think they do stop you turning your wrists over easily and for some of your wedge shots if you want or it makes the shot easier to play strait then that's good . The amount of hours Bryson has putt in to be able to play the variety of shots. What about the midsized jumbo grips would they be still to big to fit the bag
My experience is Jumbomax grips help relax my hands, especially given the effects of age and arthritis. Relaxed hands make for improved swing and contact. I do my own club work and did try different Jumbomax grips. I settled on JM Str8 ultralite medium on my irons and JM ultralite medium (tapered) for my woods. Do not be afraid to experiment.
I switched to oversized grips, feels much better and give me better control
Interesting video I have jumbo grips on all my clubs except my S and LW clubs. Felt like I closed the face to much with those so I kept the midsize on those. I was wondering when someone was going to test this theory. I may go back to the jumbos on those clubs. I’m sure it was just me not the grip that was causing me to shut the face lol
We are all different, but I use jumbo grips on all my clubs, keeps my hands and grip consistent, so for me they just the job. But now I can't use normal standard size now
I've just changed to jumbo grips and it's very strange because the best part of my game was always my driver and I struggled with my irons, especially long irons so I used rescue clubs. But now I'm better with everything except my driver ? 🤔 . I'm a 10 handicap by the way.
Switching to these. Already have big grips but want a bit more, and the JumboMax I had on my previous set lasted seemingly for ages, certainly longer than the "normal" tour wraps I had.
Removing the "flip factor" from my wedges is something I really need, thank you for that comment and I can believe it. Ruined a great pair of shots today when my wrists flipped - have been grooving a more body turn chipping motion with good success - then today, on two holes, the dreaded flip with resulting thin shot and the ball going completely over the green. ARRGGHHH. When one starts making notes on the card it is really easy to find areas where strokes can be shaved off, and the pitch and chip are where I know I can rapidly shave some more.
But what is the definition of 'feel'? For me, its the right choice of club/length of swing/identification of lie/shot selection; I can play easily with winter gloves and my 'feel' is just as good!
I'm going from .580 undersize to a midsize on Everything, can't do a jumbo, med.cadet, that's too big, but also going with shorter clubs length.
My brother didn't believe me. He tried it out and I couldn't believe how big his grip was. He was a believer after just 4 strokes
i have mid size so I tried the jumbo grips on two wedges and it turned out to be an expensive failed experiment. My full set of mid size make my huge Cart bag very very very tight.
It’s one thing to try the grips but I think you must give them a real chance by using them for a year
Hi Andy I can get 14 clubs with JumboMax grips into a pencil bag. I have a stand bag which again is no issue.
Get them put on your clubs and stop worrying about it.
My observation is d not use a string grips on short clubs
As the great Jack Nicklaus did hold them more like a putter swing like a putter
Will change your control
These gris are so good with more single plane
Hands more high at address Fixed my back and now have further distance
Does anyone know the size he’s using in this video?
very good review though
think that would feel so weird on Wedge. Driver I get it but Wedges you need more feel.
You take your backswing way inside and then you come over the top on the downswing. So the pull to the left is built into your swing and the fat grip is a Band-Aid
I play off 6 and have been single figure for 30 years 👍
So you hit the ball further and straighter with the Jumbo Max grips but you don’t play them because they don’t fit in your bag? Are you serious? Get a bigger bag!
Name that bag that works for a 13 clubs with jumbo XLs.
Just carry 2 bags, what are you, soft?
@@Knickerson callaway 14 hd. Got the jumbo xl
@@KnickersonAny staff bag. They also look great, fit on any push or riding cart, and carry tons of rain gear, cold gear, sun screen, extra balls, etc.
It’s called being a clown…
If you understand the maths behind golf you would understand the more tapper on a grip the more you can turn it over simple mass small grip with tapper more hook larger and less tapper less hook that’s why the straight ist hitter off all time had no tapper
Are u aloud to take it on course and into comps?? Lad at our club was told ur not allowed 🚫
Unless there is a local rule, I'd check the rules of golf regrips. I believe that as long as they do not have bumps or excessive grooves and they are a round grip they comply.
Doesn’t Bryson Deschambeault have these grips?
Also there are rules about disabilities that those fall under
Andy, there’s only one thing to do...put them on all clubs for one year and see
As a former tennis player with a strong right-handed forehand, I am constantly fighting an over-active right hand. The jumbo grips help a lot, but are not foolproof. Why should any of us believe that there is a magic bullet that will cure all of our faults?
get a tour bag.... 99 percent of the time today either people take a cart or when they walk they use a push cart... barely anyone walks and carries a small bag.... get a tour bag and put them on your clubs and get that performance!!!!
I like to play feel shots without my glove.
Oh and I had to buy a new bag 😂
Best option if you have arthritis in the hands
they already make bigger bags, you can look on line and purchase a tour bag
Granted, they improve my game, but my bag isn't big enough? LOL That's rich!
Why does AG wear a glove with grips that tacky and thick?
Personally hate fat grips on any club, no feel. Prefer a small corded golf pride on my clubs and leather wrap on my putters.
I can see a conundrum. Seems like you’re going to lose a lot of feel with a “feel club.” I get the impression that you’re a bit perplexed as I am.
Get a cart bag!!!
Not only will you need a new bag, you will also need all new clubheads that are heavier. Swing weight being the key here. Bigger heavier grips throw the swing weight off. Swing weight is kind of important, don't you think. If you are going to experiment with heavier grips, learn the importance of swing weight, find the the right swing weight for you then build the clubs to that swing weight, whatever type of grip you choose. Same goes for just adding tape. It changes swing weight. I'm guessing you will struggle with the feel shots because you can't feel the head.
They don’t fit in the bag is why you don’t use them!?! Makes no sense.
Uses the wrong wedge on a uphill
Lie… pitching over a bunker… hits it fat…
Blames the grip… hahahaha
Man I actually thought this was a legit channel… smh
Definitely the grip
Listening to a super amateur you tuber talk about his game like a pro would is beyond laughable…
The last thing an average golfer needs in their short game is “feel”. That just translate to handsy.
