What grips for arthritic hands?

[Skypilot]

Looking for recommendations for grips suitable for arthritic hands/wrists/fingers.

I feel I grip too tight and fancied trying an oversized grip so had a Lamkin Crossline oversize fitted to my driver today.
The size feels right but it feels very firm/tight. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow but now think I'd be better with something softer or with more impact absorbsion.

Anybody out there with this problem? and if so, what grips do you find best please?

I have arthritis in my right hand.
I personally find a thin grip best,however the most important thing is to
keep your hands warm especially between shots.
Handwarmers and gloves are essential.

You could also combine with the like of the bionic glove (although they are quite pricey). http://www.bionic-glove.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=27_29

I think the best grips for arthritic hands are avon chamois. I've fitted them to a few peoples clubs for just this reason and they loved them.

Have a look on Gamola. They offer a huge range of grips from all the manufacturers and there may be something on there. That or drop them an email and see what they recommend

Thanks for all the suggestions. Time to do some homework.

A couple of years ago there was a thread about bionic gloves and the potential for illegality under the rules. As is usual there is a lot of conflicting advice. This is what R&A/USGA say on the subject:

Interesting. Can someone tell me why mouthguards have to be approved? Can they give an unfair advantage :mmm:

Good idea pointing that one out. For the OP's use though they should be fine if you have arthritic hands and a diagnosis.
