After watching a 10 minute test, you should definitely give these a chance. You're not a tour player, its not like posting a few bad scores while you get used to them will cost you your Nike sponsorship or something. Viewers will love watching you try to change and if it doesn't improve your game after say 3 months just go back to your old grips. Its a win win. I'd personally love to see you embrace such a dramatic change and watch your struggle with them. Watching you struggle with the ups and downs of golf is why we LOVE your channel ❤
Everyone makes the mistake of going XL with jumbomax. Rick should be trying the size small in jumbomax. Their small is still 2 sizes bigger than a golf pride size jumbo. and everyone makes the mistake of getting the tour which is like 40g heavier than a GP jumbo.
As an older golfer with arthritis in the hands, the jumbo's have absolutely made my game easier. Not your issue of course. Meanwhile as a slicer, I actually have found that the jumbo's helped me go straighter as I am more relaxed and don't tense up now, and with tensing my right hand would get too involved and would open my face at impact.
I will agree, my fades and cuts became A LOT tighter and has eliminated the slice with these grips plus my wrists and elbows do not hurt anymore from using them.
I have a lot of hand pain as well and put the XL's on all my clubs. I absolutely love them and don't have to grip as hard. They make golf fun again. Regular grips feel like pencils after using them. I could never go back.
I have very bad rheumatoid arthritis, and tried jumbo grips, simply because I could keep hold of them. I have subsequently adopted midsize grips, as I have smallish hands. Major improvement, especially off the tee, as I can now play a draw or a fade...not that it goes very far! 😁
Recently started having chronic pain in my hand and saw this video. Was curious if the larger grips would help and these comments have helped! Thank you!
Rick I am a slicer, especially with my driver. I changed to golfpride mcc+ jumbo grips on my driver and woods a couple of years ago. I don't have that slice like I used to. So I changed to jumbo grips on all my clubs this year (golfpride mcc+) and am hitting every club straighter than before. I also feel like I have more control when chipping and wedge shots. Love the jumbo grips. Keep puting out the great content. One piece of advice, stay out of your head when you are trying to break 75. You are your own worst enemy when it comes to overthinking a shot. Do the explanation then clear your mind and swing without thought. Have a great day.
Pretty sure the green version decreases swing weight (it's a heavier grip). The Ultralight series keep swing weight generally the same. Other considerations are the other sizes. Most go XL to match Bryson, even XL is big for the jumbomax line.
Exactly. The ultralights are in the 55 gram range I think. Not gunna move the swing weight too much. Bizarre you can have a golf pro put the regular ones on and not add a few slabs of lead tape. That’s moving a D4 club to D0.5
It’s the tour series and they have 2-3 different colors. They are a bit heavier than the ultralight. There’s a green and sliver paint fill and I think a red, white, and blue version.
@@blakebarone1809 Agreed, the H.I.T. channel is meant for extra videos but this seems unpolished for a seasoned golf pro. Rick made the comment that the head feels lighter and didn't bother to look into the specs. Very odd... An extra vids channel doesn't mean slap anything together and call it a day. Video topics can be narrow in scope, but this is coming from a golf pro. One that probably knows a thing or two about basic golf fitting.
@@hotdogint right on. It’s all a bit silly now. Rick has been ultra successful at what he does, but if you’re going to have a club testing channel, then at least share the specs, or, at very least, make sure you’re not swinging a club at D0.5!!
according to the grip selector on jumbomax’s website, his glove size should be fit to a Medium so idk why he would go for the XL as a test instead of the recommended sizing by the company themselves
Get them in the "Medium" size and the Ultralight version. ABSOLUTE MONEY. The Ultralight also fixes the swing weight issue 😊 Definitely takes the left side of the course out of play if your like Rick and your miss is left.
Rick, great review. Something to note, they have the Ultralite version which gives you the extra grip size without changing your swing weight. I’ve had them on my entire set for a year and I’ll never go back to a normal grip.
Hey Rick, you should revisit this, and some of the comments you made about the grips. They have a lot of product lines with all different sizes, weights, and tapers. I would highly recommend it to every golfer. I have never had a right to left ball flight. Most of my life I have had a slice be my miss. I have been using Ultralite XS for months and the improvement in consistency is amazing. I switched to them because of wrist pain, which immediately went away after the switch. I hope Jumbomax reaches out to you to make a video. They can run you thru the fitting system and the benefits and misconceptions about the grips.
I agree that Rick should revisit the grips, I haven't had the chance to try them yet, but Ive researched the different lines, sizes and used their fitting tool. I think Rick went in a bit blind with this review/Trial. Hopefully he will take another look.
Rick, these grips fix the slice because it encourages you to pull the club with the left arm since it has the most contact feel on the club when gripping it. Because I have very limited shoulder mobility due to injury in baseball, I have to rely on lots of ground and hip rotation to power my swing. The difference between a hook and a slice is the hand the has most pressure or force through contact. Hooks/draws come from more left hand force and hand play through the swing while fades/slices are from more right hand force and hand play. If you don't believe me, try it next time on the range. Hit 5 balls by using your left arm/hand during the downswing and then hit 5 balls using your right arm/hand during the downswing. I too have magical hands and trust me sometimes they get a bit too magical and I start hitting shots I do not like on the course.
I put jumbo grips on my drivers and fairway woods (not that jumbo max) and I had a nasty slice... my slice almost completely disappeared, because same as you, it made it feel like it "quieted my hands" and forced me to use my body more and gave me more confidence over the ball.
I switched to the Jumbomax grips about 6 months ago with great success. Like you, I was very handsy and tended to snap it left. I was also suffering from pain in my hands and wrists. The big grips resolved both of those issues. There was a little bit of a learning curve. The biggest thing I learned was that I needed to reduce my grip pressure significantly. In fact, I sometimes play without a glove and it seems easier.
I had wrist pain issues too because of how cramped my hands was gripping the small normal size clubs. The second i switched to MMC+4 with 3 layers of tape I no longer had any issues even playing 7-8 rounds a week.
Larger grips like these improved my club head speed right out of the gate. I was instantly able to transfer so much more energy into the club head because the grip filled my hands and my grip remained so much more gentle. I love these grips. My glove size is XL or XXL.
I've played around with these off and on for the past 3 years. As a former slicer, I can tell you that it can be beneficial. I found that it forced me to keep the face more square for longer. I also found that for some reason, personally, they made me feel like it was impossible to hit a fat shot. The only thing I couldn't play them on was wedges. For the more creative shots, I felt that it took my hands out of it too much. Great video, as always, Rick.
I’ve been using these with my woods for the last two years. At first they felt very uncomfortable but after a couple of rounds I will never use regular grips. I feel I have better control and distance. Because of arthritis in my right hand I’ve started to use them in a couple of irons, not as much pain and better control!
I just don't understand these reviews sometimes.... After watching Rick yank the ball miles left for the last 5 years you would expect a better review! Also for people who slice the ball saying these would be no good makes no sense, people slice the ball for a number of issues, just saying these won't be suitable just isn't true, or fair.
The comment about slicing the ball is fair though. They promote a more open face at impact so if you're slicing the ball it's not gonna be beneficial for you
Had a JumboMax Tour Series Standard Oversized (+1/16) on my 8 irons for 2-3 weeks and it felt better than all my other irons, so I made the switch this weekend for all my clubs (Driver, fairway wood, hybrid, irons and wedges). I just shot my best round ever (it may be a coincidence), but those grips feel so nice and make my swing easier and smoother. My advice: try it on one of your irons (like the one you hate the most, that's what I did) and if you love it after, it might be a sign to change
I switched over to these in MED size 4 years ago after I got "Trigger finger" in both ring fingers. Doc said surgery was necessary. I then changed to the Jumbo MED size, I wear a L/XL glove, and never looked back! No golf glove now and no surgery needed, trigger finger is gone and my game did improve once I got comfortable with the Jumbo grips.
These grips changed my game, recently put on ultralight and what used to be a good score for me, I’m now disappointed in because I’ve been able to play much more consistent golf. I can now concentrate way less on how my hands are and focus on the other parts of my swing. The grips for me, freed me up to swing more comfortably.
Rick I suggest trying the ultralight version in medium or small. I use the jumbomax grip, but I use the ultralight version in a combo of the Medium and Small sizes. They are lighter than a golfpride at 48grams and still much bigger, but not as big as the XL and as heavy as the Green version 96grams..ish
Been using them for two years and love them. I had a sore left thumb last season that wouldn’t go away and these took pressure off my thumb. Love them.
For 2 years I struggled with a 50yrd duck hook, after I got fitted for a lighter shaft. Even after I went back to a 70gr XS shaft I couldn’t fix it. Then I switched my driver grid to the jumbo XL grip and it helped fix my hook. To this day I game my driver with this grip. I love it!
I use JumboMax medium grips and love them! Bigger grips have helped to reduce how much hand/wrist I use in the swing as well eliminated hand/joint pain.
I've played with JumboMax Ultralites for a year and a half, they've transformed my game!!! I play cross handed (right hand above left) and had a really bad left hook as my wrists were twisting in my swing, these have eradicated that, so now I'm hitting straight, longer, more consistent, and they're super comfortable!!
I’ve had these grips for ages on my driver and wedges and they’ve helped so much. I have a XL-2XL glove size for reference but… I have the ultra lite grips in large on my wedges and the str8 tech grip in medium on my driver. You need to be careful with which type of grip you get whether it’s the str8 tech, ultra lite or the tour grip because they have completely different masses and can change your swing/ ball flight shape more than you think if you go to an extreme grip change. The ultralite has extremely similar masses to 'normal grips', str8 tech is slightly heavier and the tour grip is even heavier than that. Took Rick a while to eventually get round to reviewing these grips though 😂.
I've thought about it like a bigger steering wheel on a car. Turning the wheel a bit doesn't change your direction as much. Granted, I only use midsize grips not the light post grips.
In their "Break 50" video Bryson and John Daly talked about the importance of getting the grips fitted for better control. I will definitley give it a try.
Rick, I am a believer in these jumbo grips. I just played my 5th round and already starting to see benefits. Yes, there is a bit of learning curve. My biggest surprise is how they how improved my chipping by keeping my hands out of it. It feels more solid and "one piece".
Brysons grips?? I was first thinking of Peter Finch!! (Go Finchie) He has been rocking these grips for a while now. Also inspired by Bryson. I believe it helped him reduce/ prevent wrist injuries as well!
Rick, they make an ultralite which won’t affect swing weight ( same weight as a standard grip around 50g ). They also make different sizes. They have a fitting tool for it. Plus your delivery will change. Lie angle will change as well. Get the right size Jumbomax grips then loft and lie on irons, then maybe different loft face angle on driver and woods. I think these could then be great for you.
I stairstep mine. Wedges through 7 iron are medium, rest of irons are small, and woods are oversized. I really like how they all help with going left and getting smaller in the woods helps combat/balance the going right that the bigger grips have
I was struggling with my game and recently decided to give these a go. It took a couple weeks to adjust! It's not instant. Had to adjust my grip a tad, and my swing tempo a tad, and now? I just shot 4 straight rounds breaking 80, something I've never done in 20 years of golf. I really recommend not being afraid to give these a try! And not just for 1 range session, but give yourself a few times out to find new feelings, because as Rick said, these WILL make the club feel very different in your hands!
Love the jumbo max. Use them on all my woods. Use something slightly smaller for irons. Will take a little while to get used to. Hitting a couple not giving you the fill effect.
You adjusted to those grips very quickly Rick. Impressive! I made the switch to JumboMax a few months ago, and I'm very pleased with them. My hands (long fingers) fit so much better and feel more stable on the club. And like you, my hands can get a bit too active through impact, leading to the tendency to hook the ball. Now I'm playing a fade off the tee, and I don't worry too much about hooking it the way I used to. Keep testing these grips out, Rick. They come in different thicknesses. The XL is the biggest. I use the L.
Great video Rick! I used these grips on every one of my clubs for a full year. I actually did find that I was carrying every one of my clubs about 10-12 yards further than my usual carry distance with my regular grips. I did struggle with a consistent flight/shape, however. As someone who had the opposite struggle as you (bit of a slice from time to time 😂) I needed to use my hands more, and these did definitely restrict that, as you mentioned. Took the grips off and took some lessons to get a bit more shallow/inside, but considering switching back to these grips after I've gone through the swing changes. They were very comfortable, and I definitely could swing the clubs faster.
I think I can help people for reference. I have gloves for hands. I have to buy 3XL gloves. Standard grips are not for me. Even then, I play JumboMax Ultralite XS on my irons and XL on my woods. The XL helps me maintain a stronger grip while being more comfortable. As an ex-slicer of the ball, it helps me keep that at bay. I never sliced my irons, so I can play a smaller grip and be a bit more relaxed. Heads up, as someone working on path and strength of grip, left is still VERY possible. As Rick said, you may need to be a stronger hitter in over to turn it over that much. Realistically, these were made for me, and I can honestly say that still most people don't need an XL size in these. However, anyone whose tried my clubs feels awkward for 2 swings and then they realize it feels like a baseball bat or tennis racket, which will feel comfortable for many. Try them out, but be warned, it's pretty expensive to fit the whole bag. I can say that from experience.
I have the JumboMax Ultralite XL for a whole set, and second set of different sizes (XS-L) of the JumboMax Ultralite grips. I've tried and used them all, and I absolutely love them! Driving has improved substantially, and wedges feel so much better!
Age 73, played Golf for 60yrs, arthritis in my fingers, fit these grips to all my clubs 2 years ago, alternative was packing up the game, they are superb 👍
I switched to medium grips 2 years ago because of some issues with arthritis. Unexpectedly, it took away my 2-way miss. I highly recommend this as a tool to help people who lose the ball left. Even something as simple as doing 2 layers of tape can feel significantly different.
Switching to the Jumbomax Ultralight L and XL grips is what allowed me to keep golfing. Id get very bad arthritic pains in my knuckles with normal grips which would lead to bad forearm pain after only 6-7 holes. Since ive switched I have never felt that pain as a result of golfing again. Worth every penny IMO.
Don’t forget peeps that you can make them the same swing weight by putting lead tape at the bottom on the head too! When u go up in weight at the top u can just rebalance it
I think if you wear a large or XL golf glove, it’s definitely something to consider. I always had too much tension in my grip with regular. It got a little bit better with midsize + 4s with golf pride. Once I went Jumbo, I was finally able to grip softly when appropriate obviously sometimes you need to hang on tight if it’s in the rough or other situations, but for me, it made it a lot easier to have “soft hands”
Also to add to my other comment, members at the club I play at usually comment on the large nature of the grip, but when they have a swing with them they're impressed, the seniors love them too
I think you need to try the grip fitting tool. I use the standard size jumbomax grips (i really like the feel/texture of the grip) and i dont see a difference between those and the standard tour velvet. I think using an XL grip size wont work for anyone unless you have MASSIVE hands
I use their midsized grips on my 60 & 56 since switching my wedge game has went up exponentially. Their XL is absurdly large but the midsize is a little more manageable
By the way, if you want it to affect swing weight less, you can get the ultralite version. That's the version that Bryson actually uses. Get all of the benefits of larger grip (less pulls/hooks, more club face feel) without the club feeling like a feather. I've been using them for about 6 months now and it's been fantastic! My handicap has dropped from a ~10 down to a 7.0 currently, still getting better!
This might have already been said in the comments, but if you just threw these on without redoing your swing weights it’s going make your club feel completely off. Some of their grips are ~110g vs the normal 50-66g window most grips fall in. Could move your swing weight from D3 well into the C range. Maybe Rick did get them adjusted, idk. I just ordered an ultralight version bc now I’m curious. Great video Rick.
I have used these in the past. They do have a sizing chart on the website as they come in different sizes. I wear a medium to large glove and I used the medium sized jumbo grips.
Hi Rick I had done the same on my Ping G430, I changed the grips to medium and added 3 strips of extra tape, I found that like what you said the club head was much lighter, I end up changing the head weight from 11g to 13 g which I found this balanced my club. I've changed all the grips on my mizunos only double wrapped my irons, their far better now....cheers Derek...
I'm sold on these exact grips after trying them out since January. I started because I had bad arthritis pain in my right hand over the winter. It feels easier on the hands and you get more power just like was stated in the first part of the video. I don't think I'll ever go back to small grips. I did the large size in driver through pitching wedge and then in my two shortest wedges did the small size grip. They are perfect now
Rick you should get a fitting with the jumbomax grips. Martin Borgmeier did and he raves about them now. I did as well and got fit for the str8 tech tour wrap x small (3/16) grips and I will never look back!
I tried these on 1 club almost 2 years ago. After hitting a few balls I changed all my clubs over to the medium jumbomax tour. I had to because when I went back to standard it felt like I was gripping a pencil. So weird. One thing I’ve noticed performance wise is the ball launches a good bit higher.
I play Jumbo MCC grips in my short irons ONLY and I love love love them. Definitely keeps me more relaxed and reduces my left misses I'm only 5'9", normal size hands....,
Dear Rick. Faster clubbed speed is a fact. The ergonomics are such that more surface area able to be held at a more comfortable pressure allows the golfer to inject more energy to the club which in turn increases club head speed. It's pure physics. The caveat is that all energy inputs and energy outputs must remain identical across the board for all swings and that's not likely.
No modern day player has the same small hands people had 100 years ago, and yet golf grips are the same size. Mid Size +4 has actually become quite popular on tour, and with 2-3 layers of tape under, it will feel a bit like a JumboMax
The true benefit of the larger grips is opening your hands and allowing more surface area for your palms to prevent club turn in your hands, your also keeping the club more secure in your first and second pads on your fingers (which is where the muscles are). The added friction and ease of grip allows you to really lay into club head speed without loosing the club out of your palms. More like a hockey, baseball bat, or even an axe/hammer swing. The science suggests a more ergo grip= less white knuckle = shanks into the woods.
Standard Grips weigh in at 50-55 grams. Any larger grip will weigh more lowering the swing weight of the club. I have a 4 grip fitting display (undersize to jumbo) to get the right size fit for all customers. Older players or anyone with hand problems generally will be up sized from the "proper" grip size.
I am an avid golfer and love the game. I try to watch all your videos as they are great. My question is, I have always been taught that a fade is created by getting the club stuck behind you or dragging the club so the face doesn't shut. In this video you are saying just the opposite?
Switched to Jumbo Max last season. I have arthritic changes in my knuckles which often make golfing painful. These grips have been a God send to relieve the pain and reduce post=round swelling and inflammation.
I have Jumbo max Tour Series "small" on my driver, 3 wood and 3 Hybrid. I wear "medium large" golf gloves. The grips have definitely helped my slice! I used to slice 30 or 40 yards and since I put those grips on (2 years) I sometimes slice 10 or 20 yards so a very definite improvement. On the jumbo grid site there is a grip fitter to help you find your right grip size which I used before ordering the grips. Mind you I think the Jumbo grips are not for everyone but you have to experiment with them, they also have different series of grips so its very important to my experience to use the grip fitting. . So you using the XL maybe to big for you, like i said previously I wear the same size as you do but the grip fitting told me to take the Tour Series Small size. Maybe you should order that size and make another video and see what difference the smaller grip does to your swing. Cheers! Mark from Montreal Canada.
If you were to give these jumbo grips a couple weeks in the bag, you would never go back to thin grips. Just in those few shots you took in the video, there were definite improvements in your striking. I encourage you to try them for a couple weeks and see how much you improve. God bless you bro!!
I can second what many comments are saying regarding the different sizes. I've been using the JMX Ultralite in Small for years and I really like them. I'm using an M/L Glove and the small ones just are the grips for me. Notably as a naturally born slicer they did not worsen my slice but rather helped me to control the face better. However the biggest benefit for me was that I did not had any wrist pain anymore after playing golf which was a huge issue for me before. Also the Ultralite ones pretty much keep the swing weight the same, so come on Rick, give them a try. There's so much more to these grips than you covered in this video 😃
As someone that tends to Slice/fade the ball. The jumbo grip mediums have been tremendous for me. Much less hand pain, much more consistent on the clubs I have I on, 3h, 3w, driver.
I made the change with my full set this season and couldnt be happier with the decision....seems I have more control and consistency and wasnt as big as an adjustment as I thought, but I didnt grow up playing golf either so that probably helped.
I tried them a few years ago and I will never go back to regular grips. It gave me complete control over the face of the club because it took my hands out of play. Rick is right it forces you to use the body rotation to hit
After U.S. Open and Bryson’s win I bought a set of the light Jumbos as to not mess with the swing weight. They are absolutely comfortable and a regular grip just feels wrong now. Love them.
I've played cricket and baseball for many years and recently gotten into golf, I think these are the kind of grips that might benefit me because its so alien holding a golf club with thinner grips.
I've been slicing about 15-20 yards and just last week a pro recommended to put lead tape under my grip to make the club head lighter. I stopped slicing it. I'm able to square up the face easily now. It didn't take much I believe about 3" of tape.
Also keep in mind that Bryson uses these on one length irons. So he is able to make the same swing with every club. There is no swing weight or offset differences throughout his irons. His set up and swing is the same on his PW as it is 5 iron
I’ve always struggled with squaring the club face and releasing. Two years ago I tried Jumbomax and it only made the problem worse. Now that I’m able to square and release the face alittle more consistently I would like to give them another try. Feel wise they are very comfortable and I always felt my hands/wrists/arms were more relaxed overall.
I use a size S JumboMax Lite, which is the same weight as a standard size tour velvet that doesn’t mess with swing weight. Once you learn to just relax the hands on the grip and let it swing, for me anyways, it was much straighter golf shots. My typical miss is a cut/slice as well and these throughout my set helped a lot
I run Tour Velvet jumbos exclusively and love them. Really helps maintain a lighter grip that feels more stable. Not for everyone, but made a big difference for me.
To give you an idea, my glove size is XL, and I tried Medium sized Jumbomax grips, on my woods so far. I'm really satisfied, better control in the back swing (tendency to overbend my wrists). I got a better sense of my club face too
I'm a tall fella, got large hands, love the Jumbo grips. So much better feel, and less pain in my hands. Have them on all my clubs in bag. Irons have the golf pride CP2, wedges I use Winn 2.0 dri, like the soft grips on the finess clubs...
Getting rid of the hands in your swing will probably make you more consistent. Plus if your a slicer of the ball it might teach you to rotation properly and cure you of the slicing without making you snap hook. They take an adjustment period but overal probably make you more consistent.
I’ve got the jumbo str8tech model and love them. It did take me a little while to adjust with driver and FW keeping the face shut in the backswing so I wouldn’t over fade the ball. Irons went further straight away and straighter. I’ve got a hand injury so it allowed me to have a looser grip with no pain
If you want to keep the weight in the head, use the ultralite grips, I’ve had them for 3 years now and love them. I have big hands and use the XL but I fit in a large golf glove, medium large is too small. So I would imagine that you should be using the Large ultralites
Loved the review! It was quite the opposite for me. My miss has always been a slice. A lot of it comes down to technique. However, after switching from a standard to an oversized/jumbo grip, I am able to stabilize the club head through impact better.
My ball striking improved dramatically since going with larger grips and I’d argue most golfers would benefit from larger grips (midsize ideally but larger for some). In general they encourage better swing fundamentals because it’s tougher to compensate with the hands when using a standard size grip.
Love the JumboMax grips. I play the smallest size , the standard jumbo, on all my clubs except the putter. Love the soft, cushioned feel of the grips. My hands are quieter now, so I hit all my irons straighter.
I have these on all my clubs now, I have huge hands but, they do straight grips tapered grips differing sizes, made a huge difference to my game, especially in hotter climates when you sweat, stops me strangling the club to maintain a grip. Rick try the slightly smaller tapered grips
The larger diameter of the grips means a decrease in ability to twist the shaft. This reduces the handsy problem we all suffer from. I love my jumbo grips. They work. I will never go back to skinny grips.
I switched to these about 2 or 3 years ago (the "medium" sized version as the XL was a bit too much for me) and my game has gotten much better because of it. Not only do I feel like I have more control over the ball, but they last so much longer that traditional grips (in my experience)
I started with oversized grips on my driver and my 3 wood to help with some of the wear on my hands, after about 12 holes my hands would be destroyed with the standard grips and the oversized grips have helped alot. I will say that it took a complete rework of my swing and set up to get the ball to go left though, but it was worth it.
I switch from the MCC +4 standard grips to a full bag of MCC +4 JUMBO and will never go back. Immediately my dispersion tightened up and I got rid of any pull draws. My first 4 rounds with them were E, -3, E, -2. Seriously give them a shot they've got me back into scratch territory!
After watching a 10 minute test, you should definitely give these a chance. You're not a tour player, its not like posting a few bad scores while you get used to them will cost you your Nike sponsorship or something. Viewers will love watching you try to change and if it doesn't improve your game after say 3 months just go back to your old grips. Its a win win. I'd personally love to see you embrace such a dramatic change and watch your struggle with them. Watching you struggle with the ups and downs of golf is why we LOVE your channel ❤
Yes. It would make the videos more interesting as well, with a big change like that. A cool series idea.
Everyone makes the mistake of going XL with jumbomax. Rick should be trying the size small in jumbomax. Their small is still 2 sizes bigger than a golf pride size jumbo. and everyone makes the mistake of getting the tour which is like 40g heavier than a GP jumbo.
Get a GRIP FITTING. You can't just choose the XL and expect it to work, the same way you can't just choose a extra stiff shaft and expect it to work.
@@waffleninja1000 id say its worse than that. at least you can put a good swing on the wrong shafts, you might not get the flight you want.
I have tried pretty much all of the jumbomax sizes and the XS is the sweet spot. Its also their #1 most popular size
Rick, you need these on your driver, tame that nasty hook.
He has a slice, you not seen his open qualifier?!
He also needs a GRIP FITTING. I suspect he needs the large. These are too big for him.
They helped my snap hook
As an older golfer with arthritis in the hands, the jumbo's have absolutely made my game easier. Not your issue of course. Meanwhile as a slicer, I actually have found that the jumbo's helped me go straighter as I am more relaxed and don't tense up now, and with tensing my right hand would get too involved and would open my face at impact.
I will agree, my fades and cuts became A LOT tighter and has eliminated the slice with these grips plus my wrists and elbows do not hurt anymore from using them.
Same
I have a lot of hand pain as well and put the XL's on all my clubs. I absolutely love them and don't have to grip as hard. They make golf fun again. Regular grips feel like pencils after using them. I could never go back.
I have very bad rheumatoid arthritis, and tried jumbo grips, simply because I could keep hold of them.
I have subsequently adopted midsize grips, as I have smallish hands. Major improvement, especially off the tee, as I can now play a draw or a fade...not that it goes very far! 😁
Recently started having chronic pain in my hand and saw this video. Was curious if the larger grips would help and these comments have helped! Thank you!
Rick I am a slicer, especially with my driver. I changed to golfpride mcc+ jumbo grips on my driver and woods a couple of years ago. I don't have that slice like I used to. So I changed to jumbo grips on all my clubs this year (golfpride mcc+) and am hitting every club straighter than before. I also feel like I have more control when chipping and wedge shots. Love the jumbo grips. Keep puting out the great content. One piece of advice, stay out of your head when you are trying to break 75. You are your own worst enemy when it comes to overthinking a shot. Do the explanation then clear your mind and swing without thought. Have a great day.
Rick, remember that Nick Faldo told you that you needed to strengthen your grip. That tip and these grips would vastly improve your scoring.
bigger grip tends to lead to 'weaker' grip though....
Pretty sure the green version decreases swing weight (it's a heavier grip). The Ultralight series keep swing weight generally the same.
Other considerations are the other sizes. Most go XL to match Bryson, even XL is big for the jumbomax line.
Exactly. The ultralights are in the 55 gram range I think. Not gunna move the swing weight too much. Bizarre you can have a golf pro put the regular ones on and not add a few slabs of lead tape. That’s moving a D4 club to D0.5
It’s the tour series and they have 2-3 different colors. They are a bit heavier than the ultralight. There’s a green and sliver paint fill and I think a red, white, and blue version.
@@blakebarone1809 Agreed, the H.I.T. channel is meant for extra videos but this seems unpolished for a seasoned golf pro.
Rick made the comment that the head feels lighter and didn't bother to look into the specs. Very odd...
An extra vids channel doesn't mean slap anything together and call it a day. Video topics can be narrow in scope, but this is coming from a golf pro. One that probably knows a thing or two about basic golf fitting.
@@hotdogint right on. It’s all a bit silly now. Rick has been ultra successful at what he does, but if you’re going to have a club testing channel, then at least share the specs, or, at very least, make sure you’re not swinging a club at D0.5!!
according to the grip selector on jumbomax’s website, his glove size should be fit to a Medium so idk why he would go for the XL as a test instead of the recommended sizing by the company themselves
If this gets 1 like I’ll play golf today
Edit: Got the boys together and had a blast out there! Might go crazy and play after work today too.
Christian u liked ur own comment
@@zarvaci92the negativity is not appreciated.
How did your round go
Precisely, or at least?
Say no more 😂
Get them in the "Medium" size and the Ultralight version.
ABSOLUTE MONEY.
The Ultralight also fixes the swing weight issue 😊
Definitely takes the left side of the course out of play if your like Rick and your miss is left.
Rick, great review. Something to note, they have the Ultralite version which gives you the extra grip size without changing your swing weight. I’ve had them on my entire set for a year and I’ll never go back to a normal grip.
You stay away from us normal grippers...
There are several sizes available in the Jumbomax grips. I use a small that is bigger than a standard Jumbo golf pride grip. You should try that.
Go for it Rick! You will drop 5 strokes easy by getting rid of that snap hook. Try them when chipping.
Chipping?? He will get the putter on that one!
Hey Rick, you should revisit this, and some of the comments you made about the grips. They have a lot of product lines with all different sizes, weights, and tapers. I would highly recommend it to every golfer. I have never had a right to left ball flight. Most of my life I have had a slice be my miss. I have been using Ultralite XS for months and the improvement in consistency is amazing. I switched to them because of wrist pain, which immediately went away after the switch.
I hope Jumbomax reaches out to you to make a video. They can run you thru the fitting system and the benefits and misconceptions about the grips.
I agree that Rick should revisit the grips, I haven't had the chance to try them yet, but Ive researched the different lines, sizes and used their fitting tool. I think Rick went in a bit blind with this review/Trial. Hopefully he will take another look.
Rick, these grips fix the slice because it encourages you to pull the club with the left arm since it has the most contact feel on the club when gripping it. Because I have very limited shoulder mobility due to injury in baseball, I have to rely on lots of ground and hip rotation to power my swing. The difference between a hook and a slice is the hand the has most pressure or force through contact. Hooks/draws come from more left hand force and hand play through the swing while fades/slices are from more right hand force and hand play. If you don't believe me, try it next time on the range. Hit 5 balls by using your left arm/hand during the downswing and then hit 5 balls using your right arm/hand during the downswing. I too have magical hands and trust me sometimes they get a bit too magical and I start hitting shots I do not like on the course.
I think he knows this already being a professional.....
I put jumbo grips on my drivers and fairway woods (not that jumbo max) and I had a nasty slice... my slice almost completely disappeared, because same as you, it made it feel like it "quieted my hands" and forced me to use my body more and gave me more confidence over the ball.
I think you should’ve tried the different sizes going straight to the XL doesn’t actually give you a true picture of how useful they can be
I switched to the Jumbomax grips about 6 months ago with great success. Like you, I was very handsy and tended to snap it left. I was also suffering from pain in my hands and wrists. The big grips resolved both of those issues. There was a little bit of a learning curve. The biggest thing I learned was that I needed to reduce my grip pressure significantly. In fact, I sometimes play without a glove and it seems easier.
I had wrist pain issues too because of how cramped my hands was gripping the small normal size clubs. The second i switched to MMC+4 with 3 layers of tape I no longer had any issues even playing 7-8 rounds a week.
Larger grips like these improved my club head speed right out of the gate. I was instantly able to transfer so much more energy into the club head because the grip filled my hands and my grip remained so much more gentle. I love these grips. My glove size is XL or XXL.
I've played around with these off and on for the past 3 years. As a former slicer, I can tell you that it can be beneficial. I found that it forced me to keep the face more square for longer. I also found that for some reason, personally, they made me feel like it was impossible to hit a fat shot. The only thing I couldn't play them on was wedges. For the more creative shots, I felt that it took my hands out of it too much. Great video, as always, Rick.
I’ve been using these with my woods for the last two years. At first they felt very uncomfortable but after a couple of rounds I will never use regular grips. I feel I have better control and distance. Because of arthritis in my right hand I’ve started to use them in a couple of irons, not as much pain and better control!
I just don't understand these reviews sometimes.... After watching Rick yank the ball miles left for the last 5 years you would expect a better review! Also for people who slice the ball saying these would be no good makes no sense, people slice the ball for a number of issues, just saying these won't be suitable just isn't true, or fair.
The comment about slicing the ball is fair though. They promote a more open face at impact so if you're slicing the ball it's not gonna be beneficial for you
I switched to jumbo grips and now I know where my face is at impact. No slicing, just baby draws.
Had a JumboMax Tour Series Standard Oversized (+1/16) on my 8 irons for 2-3 weeks and it felt better than all my other irons, so I made the switch this weekend for all my clubs (Driver, fairway wood, hybrid, irons and wedges). I just shot my best round ever (it may be a coincidence), but those grips feel so nice and make my swing easier and smoother. My advice: try it on one of your irons (like the one you hate the most, that's what I did) and if you love it after, it might be a sign to change
I switched over to these in MED size 4 years ago after I got "Trigger finger" in both ring fingers. Doc said surgery was necessary. I then changed to the Jumbo MED size, I wear a L/XL glove, and never looked back! No golf glove now and no surgery needed, trigger finger is gone and my game did improve once I got comfortable with the Jumbo grips.
These grips changed my game, recently put on ultralight and what used to be a good score for me, I’m now disappointed in because I’ve been able to play much more consistent golf. I can now concentrate way less on how my hands are and focus on the other parts of my swing. The grips for me, freed me up to swing more comfortably.
Rick I suggest trying the ultralight version in medium or small. I use the jumbomax grip, but I use the ultralight version in a combo of the Medium and Small sizes. They are lighter than a golfpride at 48grams and still much bigger, but not as big as the XL and as heavy as the Green version 96grams..ish
Been using them for two years and love them. I had a sore left thumb last season that wouldn’t go away and these took pressure off my thumb. Love them.
For 2 years I struggled with a 50yrd duck hook, after I got fitted for a lighter shaft. Even after I went back to a 70gr XS shaft I couldn’t fix it. Then I switched my driver grid to the jumbo XL grip and it helped fix my hook. To this day I game my driver with this grip. I love it!
I use JumboMax medium grips and love them! Bigger grips have helped to reduce how much hand/wrist I use in the swing as well eliminated hand/joint pain.
I've played with JumboMax Ultralites for a year and a half, they've transformed my game!!!
I play cross handed (right hand above left) and had a really bad left hook as my wrists were twisting in my swing, these have eradicated that, so now I'm hitting straight, longer, more consistent, and they're super comfortable!!
I’ve had these grips for ages on my driver and wedges and they’ve helped so much. I have a XL-2XL glove size for reference but… I have the ultra lite grips in large on my wedges and the str8 tech grip in medium on my driver.
You need to be careful with which type of grip you get whether it’s the str8 tech, ultra lite or the tour grip because they have completely different masses and can change your swing/ ball flight shape more than you think if you go to an extreme grip change. The ultralite has extremely similar masses to 'normal grips', str8 tech is slightly heavier and the tour grip is even heavier than that.
Took Rick a while to eventually get round to reviewing these grips though 😂.
I think you should have a full round with these grips. Would be good to watch
I've thought about it like a bigger steering wheel on a car. Turning the wheel a bit doesn't change your direction as much. Granted, I only use midsize grips not the light post grips.
In their "Break 50" video Bryson and John Daly talked about the importance of getting the grips fitted for better control. I will definitley give it a try.
Rick, I am a believer in these jumbo grips. I just played my 5th round and already starting to see benefits. Yes, there is a bit of learning curve. My biggest surprise is how they how improved my chipping by keeping my hands out of it. It feels more solid and "one piece".
Brysons grips?? I was first thinking of Peter Finch!! (Go Finchie)
He has been rocking these grips for a while now. Also inspired by Bryson.
I believe it helped him reduce/ prevent wrist injuries as well!
Rick, they make an ultralite which won’t affect swing weight ( same weight as a standard grip around 50g ). They also make different sizes. They have a fitting tool for it. Plus your delivery will change. Lie angle will change as well. Get the right size Jumbomax grips then loft and lie on irons, then maybe different loft face angle on driver and woods. I think these could then be great for you.
I stairstep mine. Wedges through 7 iron are medium, rest of irons are small, and woods are oversized. I really like how they all help with going left and getting smaller in the woods helps combat/balance the going right that the bigger grips have
I was struggling with my game and recently decided to give these a go. It took a couple weeks to adjust! It's not instant. Had to adjust my grip a tad, and my swing tempo a tad, and now? I just shot 4 straight rounds breaking 80, something I've never done in 20 years of golf. I really recommend not being afraid to give these a try! And not just for 1 range session, but give yourself a few times out to find new feelings, because as Rick said, these WILL make the club feel very different in your hands!
0:42 shots fired 🤣
I caught that too
Right 😂😂😂😂
Schtewpid grips
Love the jumbo max. Use them on all my woods. Use something slightly smaller for irons. Will take a little while to get used to. Hitting a couple not giving you the fill effect.
You adjusted to those grips very quickly Rick. Impressive! I made the switch to JumboMax a few months ago, and I'm very pleased with them. My hands (long fingers) fit so much better and feel more stable on the club. And like you, my hands can get a bit too active through impact, leading to the tendency to hook the ball. Now I'm playing a fade off the tee, and I don't worry too much about hooking it the way I used to. Keep testing these grips out, Rick. They come in different thicknesses. The XL is the biggest. I use the L.
I love JumboMax. They don't just have these XL grips. I use their small size. It allows me to play pain free
Great video Rick! I used these grips on every one of my clubs for a full year. I actually did find that I was carrying every one of my clubs about 10-12 yards further than my usual carry distance with my regular grips. I did struggle with a consistent flight/shape, however. As someone who had the opposite struggle as you (bit of a slice from time to time 😂) I needed to use my hands more, and these did definitely restrict that, as you mentioned. Took the grips off and took some lessons to get a bit more shallow/inside, but considering switching back to these grips after I've gone through the swing changes. They were very comfortable, and I definitely could swing the clubs faster.
I think I can help people for reference.
I have gloves for hands. I have to buy 3XL gloves. Standard grips are not for me.
Even then, I play JumboMax Ultralite XS on my irons and XL on my woods. The XL helps me maintain a stronger grip while being more comfortable. As an ex-slicer of the ball, it helps me keep that at bay. I never sliced my irons, so I can play a smaller grip and be a bit more relaxed.
Heads up, as someone working on path and strength of grip, left is still VERY possible. As Rick said, you may need to be a stronger hitter in over to turn it over that much.
Realistically, these were made for me, and I can honestly say that still most people don't need an XL size in these. However, anyone whose tried my clubs feels awkward for 2 swings and then they realize it feels like a baseball bat or tennis racket, which will feel comfortable for many.
Try them out, but be warned, it's pretty expensive to fit the whole bag. I can say that from experience.
I have the JumboMax Ultralite XL for a whole set, and second set of different sizes (XS-L) of the JumboMax Ultralite grips. I've tried and used them all, and I absolutely love them! Driving has improved substantially, and wedges feel so much better!
Age 73, played Golf for 60yrs, arthritis in my fingers, fit these grips to all my clubs 2 years ago, alternative was packing up the game, they are superb 👍
I switched to medium grips 2 years ago because of some issues with arthritis. Unexpectedly, it took away my 2-way miss. I highly recommend this as a tool to help people who lose the ball left. Even something as simple as doing 2 layers of tape can feel significantly different.
Switching to the Jumbomax Ultralight L and XL grips is what allowed me to keep golfing. Id get very bad arthritic pains in my knuckles with normal grips which would lead to bad forearm pain after only 6-7 holes. Since ive switched I have never felt that pain as a result of golfing again. Worth every penny IMO.
Rick’s got those Burger King guy tiny hands
Don’t forget peeps that you can make them the same swing weight by putting lead tape at the bottom on the head too! When u go up in weight at the top u can just rebalance it
I think if you wear a large or XL golf glove, it’s definitely something to consider. I always had too much tension in my grip with regular. It got a little bit better with midsize + 4s with golf pride. Once I went Jumbo, I was finally able to grip softly when appropriate obviously sometimes you need to hang on tight if it’s in the rough or other situations, but for me, it made it a lot easier to have “soft hands”
Also to add to my other comment, members at the club I play at usually comment on the large nature of the grip, but when they have a swing with them they're impressed, the seniors love them too
I put them on all my clubs...went to a ten finger grip and they feel amazing.
Rick.... PLEASE DO 18 HOLES with these grips on a set of clubs!! We wanna see the score and how many you DONT miss left! 🤞🏼
I think you need to try the grip fitting tool. I use the standard size jumbomax grips (i really like the feel/texture of the grip) and i dont see a difference between those and the standard tour velvet. I think using an XL grip size wont work for anyone unless you have MASSIVE hands
Where can I find that mate?
I use their midsized grips on my 60 & 56 since switching my wedge game has went up exponentially. Their XL is absurdly large but the midsize is a little more manageable
By the way, if you want it to affect swing weight less, you can get the ultralite version. That's the version that Bryson actually uses. Get all of the benefits of larger grip (less pulls/hooks, more club face feel) without the club feeling like a feather. I've been using them for about 6 months now and it's been fantastic! My handicap has dropped from a ~10 down to a 7.0 currently, still getting better!
This might have already been said in the comments, but if you just threw these on without redoing your swing weights it’s going make your club feel completely off. Some of their grips are ~110g vs the normal 50-66g window most grips fall in. Could move your swing weight from D3 well into the C range. Maybe Rick did get them adjusted, idk.
I just ordered an ultralight version bc now I’m curious. Great video Rick.
I have used these in the past. They do have a sizing chart on the website as they come in different sizes.
I wear a medium to large glove and I used the medium sized jumbo grips.
Hi Rick I had done the same on my Ping G430, I changed the grips to medium and added 3 strips of extra tape, I found that like what you said the club head was much lighter, I end up changing the head weight from 11g to 13 g which I found this balanced my club.
I've changed all the grips on my mizunos only double wrapped my irons, their far better now....cheers Derek...
I'm sold on these exact grips after trying them out since January. I started because I had bad arthritis pain in my right hand over the winter. It feels easier on the hands and you get more power just like was stated in the first part of the video. I don't think I'll ever go back to small grips. I did the large size in driver through pitching wedge and then in my two shortest wedges did the small size grip. They are perfect now
Rick you should get a fitting with the jumbomax grips. Martin Borgmeier did and he raves about them now. I did as well and got fit for the str8 tech tour wrap x small (3/16) grips and I will never look back!
I tried these on 1 club almost 2 years ago. After hitting a few balls I changed all my clubs over to the medium jumbomax tour. I had to because when I went back to standard it felt like I was gripping a pencil. So weird. One thing I’ve noticed performance wise is the ball launches a good bit higher.
2:26 "sometimes I get a little too handsy"
No shit sherlock 😅
I play Jumbo MCC grips in my short irons ONLY and I love love love them.
Definitely keeps me more relaxed and reduces my left misses
I'm only 5'9", normal size hands....,
Dear Rick. Faster clubbed speed is a fact. The ergonomics are such that more surface area able to be held at a more comfortable pressure allows the golfer to inject more energy to the club which in turn increases club head speed. It's pure physics. The caveat is that all energy inputs and energy outputs must remain identical across the board for all swings and that's not likely.
No modern day player has the same small hands people had 100 years ago, and yet golf grips are the same size.
Mid Size +4 has actually become quite popular on tour, and with 2-3 layers of tape under, it will feel a bit like a JumboMax
The true benefit of the larger grips is opening your hands and allowing more surface area for your palms to prevent club turn in your hands, your also keeping the club more secure in your first and second pads on your fingers (which is where the muscles are). The added friction and ease of grip allows you to really lay into club head speed without loosing the club out of your palms. More like a hockey, baseball bat, or even an axe/hammer swing. The science suggests a more ergo grip= less white knuckle = shanks into the woods.
Standard Grips weigh in at 50-55 grams. Any larger grip will weigh more lowering the swing weight of the club. I have a 4 grip fitting display (undersize to jumbo) to get the right size fit for all customers. Older players or anyone with hand problems generally will be up sized from the "proper" grip size.
I am an avid golfer and love the game. I try to watch all your videos as they are great. My question is, I have always been taught that a fade is created by getting the club stuck behind you or dragging the club so the face doesn't shut. In this video you are saying just the opposite?
Switched to Jumbo Max last season. I have arthritic changes in my knuckles which often make golfing painful. These grips have been a God send to relieve the pain and reduce post=round swelling and inflammation.
I have Jumbo max Tour Series "small" on my driver, 3 wood and 3 Hybrid. I wear "medium large" golf gloves. The grips have definitely helped my slice! I used to slice 30 or 40 yards and since I put those grips on (2 years) I sometimes slice 10 or 20 yards so a very definite improvement. On the jumbo grid site there is a grip fitter to help you find your right grip size which I used before ordering the grips. Mind you I think the Jumbo grips are not for everyone but you have to experiment with them, they also have different series of grips so its very important to my experience to use the grip fitting. . So you using the XL maybe to big for you, like i said previously I wear the same size as you do but the grip fitting told me to take the Tour Series Small size. Maybe you should order that size and make another video and see what difference the smaller grip does to your swing. Cheers! Mark from Montreal Canada.
If you were to give these jumbo grips a couple weeks in the bag, you would never go back to thin grips. Just in those few shots you took in the video, there were definite improvements in your striking. I encourage you to try them for a couple weeks and see how much you improve. God bless you bro!!
I can second what many comments are saying regarding the different sizes. I've been using the JMX Ultralite in Small for years and I really like them. I'm using an M/L Glove and the small ones just are the grips for me. Notably as a naturally born slicer they did not worsen my slice but rather helped me to control the face better.
However the biggest benefit for me was that I did not had any wrist pain anymore after playing golf which was a huge issue for me before.
Also the Ultralite ones pretty much keep the swing weight the same, so come on Rick, give them a try. There's so much more to these grips than you covered in this video 😃
As someone that tends to Slice/fade the ball. The jumbo grip mediums have been tremendous for me. Much less hand pain, much more consistent on the clubs I have I on, 3h, 3w, driver.
I made the change with my full set this season and couldnt be happier with the decision....seems I have more control and consistency and wasnt as big as an adjustment as I thought, but I didnt grow up playing golf either so that probably helped.
I tried them a few years ago and I will never go back to regular grips. It gave me complete control over the face of the club because it took my hands out of play. Rick is right it forces you to use the body rotation to hit
After U.S. Open and Bryson’s win I bought a set of the light Jumbos as to not mess with the swing weight. They are absolutely comfortable and a regular grip just feels wrong now. Love them.
I've played cricket and baseball for many years and recently gotten into golf, I think these are the kind of grips that might benefit me because its so alien holding a golf club with thinner grips.
I've been slicing about 15-20 yards and just last week a pro recommended to put lead tape under my grip to make the club head lighter. I stopped slicing it. I'm able to square up the face easily now. It didn't take much I believe about 3" of tape.
Also keep in mind that Bryson uses these on one length irons. So he is able to make the same swing with every club. There is no swing weight or offset differences throughout his irons. His set up and swing is the same on his PW as it is 5 iron
I’ve always struggled with squaring the club face and releasing. Two years ago I tried Jumbomax and it only made the problem worse. Now that I’m able to square and release the face alittle more consistently I would like to give them another try. Feel wise they are very comfortable and I always felt my hands/wrists/arms were more relaxed overall.
I use a size S JumboMax Lite, which is the same weight as a standard size tour velvet that doesn’t mess with swing weight. Once you learn to just relax the hands on the grip and let it swing, for me anyways, it was much straighter golf shots. My typical miss is a cut/slice as well and these throughout my set helped a lot
I run Tour Velvet jumbos exclusively and love them. Really helps maintain a lighter grip that feels more stable. Not for everyone, but made a big difference for me.
To give you an idea, my glove size is XL, and I tried Medium sized Jumbomax grips, on my woods so far. I'm really satisfied, better control in the back swing (tendency to overbend my wrists). I got a better sense of my club face too
I'm a tall fella, got large hands, love the Jumbo grips. So much better feel, and less pain in my hands. Have them on all my clubs in bag. Irons have the golf pride CP2, wedges I use Winn 2.0 dri, like the soft grips on the finess clubs...
Getting rid of the hands in your swing will probably make you more consistent. Plus if your a slicer of the ball it might teach you to rotation properly and cure you of the slicing without making you snap hook. They take an adjustment period but overal probably make you more consistent.
I’ve got the jumbo str8tech model and love them. It did take me a little while to adjust with driver and FW keeping the face shut in the backswing so I wouldn’t over fade the ball. Irons went further straight away and straighter. I’ve got a hand injury so it allowed me to have a looser grip with no pain
Within the first 50secs he is calling them stupid. Nice unbiased review
If you want to keep the weight in the head, use the ultralite grips, I’ve had them for 3 years now and love them. I have big hands and use the XL but I fit in a large golf glove, medium large is too small. So I would imagine that you should be using the Large ultralites
Loved the review! It was quite the opposite for me. My miss has always been a slice. A lot of it comes down to technique. However, after switching from a standard to an oversized/jumbo grip, I am able to stabilize the club head through impact better.
My ball striking improved dramatically since going with larger grips and I’d argue most golfers would benefit from larger grips (midsize ideally but larger for some). In general they encourage better swing fundamentals because it’s tougher to compensate with the hands when using a standard size grip.
Love the JumboMax grips. I play the smallest size , the standard jumbo, on all my clubs except the putter. Love the soft, cushioned feel of the grips. My hands are quieter now, so I hit all my irons straighter.
I have these on all my clubs now, I have huge hands but, they do straight grips tapered grips differing sizes, made a huge difference to my game, especially in hotter climates when you sweat, stops me strangling the club to maintain a grip. Rick try the slightly smaller tapered grips
Great video RS. I have big hands so I use a midsize. Your results were expected. Working the ball much easier with the proper grip. To each is own.
The larger diameter of the grips means a decrease in ability to twist the shaft. This reduces the handsy problem we all suffer from. I love my jumbo grips. They work. I will never go back to skinny grips.
I switched to these about 2 or 3 years ago (the "medium" sized version as the XL was a bit too much for me) and my game has gotten much better because of it. Not only do I feel like I have more control over the ball, but they last so much longer that traditional grips (in my experience)
May have to give these a try. I'm 6'5" and already play a jumbo with 2 wraps. Taking my hands more out of the swing has helped me immensely.
I always had a problem gripping to hard which caused more arms in my swing. These grips fixed that for me.
I started with oversized grips on my driver and my 3 wood to help with some of the wear on my hands, after about 12 holes my hands would be destroyed with the standard grips and the oversized grips have helped alot. I will say that it took a complete rework of my swing and set up to get the ball to go left though, but it was worth it.
I switch from the MCC +4 standard grips to a full bag of MCC +4 JUMBO and will never go back. Immediately my dispersion tightened up and I got rid of any pull draws. My first 4 rounds with them were E, -3, E, -2. Seriously give them a shot they've got me back into scratch territory!
