Grip Size

[CP1]

Hi all.

Just looking for an opinion on Grip sizes.

I used to have some pings and had them regripped to be larger than standard. I have now bought the Mizunos with standard grips.

Question is do I get them regripped to a larger size?

How do you stand on this and why?

Its just at address, although i can hit the ball ok, it just seems a little more difficut to hold through the swing, but Im not sure if that is lack of confidence.

When I was fitted for a set of Ping i3's years ago I was advised to go for larger grips. They never felt comfy and I never really played well with them. When I changed to X-20's they had regular grips which felt right and I've been playing better since. Grip size is important but so is what feels right.

Getting my grips custom fitted changed my game in the last few weeks. Went from standard to very slightly thicker, think pro said it was double wrap, and i'm hitting the ball much sweeter and i no longer get blisters on my hands at the end of a long session on the range.

But you go with what feels good for you.

i have noticed that since playing with the standard sizes that on my glove (left hand) that on the heel of the hand I am getting rub and is damaging the glove. I wonder if this is also an indication grip may need to be increased in size?

More likely your grip on the club needs to be looked at.

A sound grip shouldn't lead to any wear on one particular part of the glove IMO.

I use 2 extra layers of tape under my grips , they feel better in the hands than clubs off the shelf

I've recently had all my clubs re-gripped to the Ping Mid-size (yellow) from their respective standard sizes.

In my case, I have a problem at times with both closing and opening my hands due to nodules on the tendons. There is a (non-guaranteed) surgical fix of opening up the entrance of the sheaths the tendons run in but at £5 a club this is much quicker and easier.

Hasn't hurt my game either.

I have had the same wear mark on my gloves since I started as a junior and its something I live with. I have very small hands so I find standard size does the job perfectly for me.
