Nah, climate change

I've also made the swap to the Plus4 (Tour Velvet) grips in the last six months despite having hands that by most measurement systems come up as "small".
My transition came by accident as I bought a club of ebay that came with a New Decade Multicompound +4 grip, but before ripping the grip off and replacing it with a standard sized grip I took the club down the range for a session and was amazed at how comfortable it felt. I've always played with fatter built up grips (especially under the lower hand) in my wedges so initially replaced the wedges with the Plus 4's to see how I got on and eventually have worked my way up through the entire bag.
I too was concerned by the "conventional wisdom" that fatter grips might "help" promote a fade (which was my normal stock shot so I wouldnt have wanted to emphasize it) but if anything I find that I'm hitting the ball straighter than ever.
I decided on the golf pride mcc plus 4 midsize and wanted the navy/red ones but there hard to find. I went to 4 shops today and none in stock, seen ebay has them but also seen a YouTube video that said theres fakes everywhere so i have one last shop to try tomorrow and if no luck ill order another colour.
I ordered 13 blue and grey plus 4 golf pride grips this morning. Was the only colour that had 13 in stock but they did look nice and are similar colour to my bag. Should be fitted for early next week.If you are liking them because you like the thicker grip at the bottom end also try CPR2 or you could go for standard multicompound and just add extra tape on the lower section of the shaft (the plus 4 means 4 extra layers)
Also look at Winn Dry tac less taper
I have tiny hands and play with midsize + 3 layers of tape, just feels more comfortable. use adoregolfgrips.co.uk as their service is great.
