9" hand, 4.25" finger..... grips!

[Mattie]

Hi All

There must be other people out there with huge hands and fingers and cant find a decent grip.

I currently have jumbo grp with 2 layers of tape and then on top of that a tennis raquet grip. That what I have to do to stop the club slipping out of my hands.

Anyone else out there have huge hands and cant cope with the normal stupidly skinny grips and has do some creative bodging?

9" wrist crease to finger tip, 4.25" middle finger length?

A basic static fitting guide indicates a grip +3/32" over standard, which is considerably less than you have on; then you'd fit from there.

Golf grips in general are smaller than ideal for our hands which contributes to golfers elbow. A tennis racket size is more natural for our hands to hold, maybe this is why you don't feel comfortable.

Based on the above, I'd be surprised if it was purely grip size that was causing the slippage, have you thought of getting your grip checked.

No probs i will post a pic soon.

The problem with the standard chart size is that its basically rubbbish! I havent met anyone with hands my size ...ever

The grip only slips when I use a standard jumbo and 2 layers, the palm of my hand is literally 3/4" on top of my middle two fingers.

When using my tennis raquet grip on top my palm and two midle fingers only just touch and to be honest I play very well with those grips on.

According to the PIN advert Bubba Watson has 12 layers of tape under his right hand lol!

Personally I see so many people who cant even grip the club properly nevermind whether their grips are too small or large. Friends who have tried mine actually love them.

Anyway, will post a pic in a few mins

Thanks
