Grip type and hand size...

[bluewolf]

Sorry for doing this, I know there have been threads like this before, but I'm interested in peoples hand sizes and the type of grip they use. I'm currently using an interlocking grip but have hands like shovels. So what grip do you use, and what is your hand size?

Note, I know there are other grips, but I'm not looking at those at the moment..

Big hands, overlap, have mid size grips on the clubs

 

[One Planer]

I don't have particularly big hands.

I use an interlocking grip and have standard grips on my clubs built up with 4 layers.

 

[Fader]

Small hands, standard grips and interlock. Have tried an overlap and its more than useable but habit and comfort takes me to interlock everytime.

 

[Imurg]

Interlock - short fingers mean I can't overlap.

 

[AmandaJR]

Small hands, interlock, Ping grip 2 smaller than standard. Have never really tried overlap to hit a ball as just feels wrong and less stable somehow.

I guess the results will be influenced by which group those with M hands (glove size) choose

True.. I didn't want to over-complicate things. Hopefully, most people will know if they are small/medium or medium/large..

All I'm trying to gauge is peoples preference, based on hand size. I currently use interlock, but I have large hands. I tried overlap today at the range and the results were very positive. Unfortunately, Ii only tried it for the last 10 minutes and therefore couldn't really compare the results. I might have another bash at it tomorrow..

Sorry about that. I tried the baseball grip once, and only once. How I kept hold of the club i'll never know...

I have long skinny fingers and chop and change between overlapping and interlocking, don't ask me why. I've used overlapping for the last couple of years but changed to interlocking a couple of weeks ago because I am trying to get my right hand in a more neutral position and find interlocking helps me to do that. I have 2 layers of tape.

Small hands, standard grip, overlap

 

[nobetterbruv]

Small hands, interlocking. 1 layer of tape. Not helped by swollen knuckle on left fore-finger from cricket injury which makes overlapping particularly difficult. I did try the baseball grip and found that my hands got way too active.

 

[Lump]

wide hand, short fingers, small gloves, standard grips and overlap.

Haven't used interlock since picking a club up 4 years ago.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Small girly hands and interlock. Always done it this way. One layer of tape and another with several figures bent from wicket keeping adn goal keeping

 

[Kellfire]

ML gloves, interlocking. Anything else feels like my hands hinge against each other or I'm going to throw the club.

 

[virtuocity]

XL hands, baseball grip.

Thus cannot vote.

 

[Crow]

Sure I once read somewhere that interlocking suits smaller hands better.

Myself; medium/large overlapping.

 

[Garesfield ACE]

XL hands, baseball grip.

Thus cannot vote.

ML gloves ideally (do have Medium as well )

Interlocking grip recommended by a pro around 15 moths ago switched from Overlapping although was happy with it.
