Grip Size

Whyner

In an effort to determine my dip in form I’ve decided to examine my equipment, obvious choice..:rolleyes:.. I never really paid attention to grip size but I now believe that my grips are too small.

From what I read last night on zee net there is a rule of thumb for grip size; your middle and ring finger should lightly brush against your palm pad. If there is a gap then your grips are too large and if your fingers dig into the pad then your grips are too small.

A grip that is too small can lead to a closed clubface and hook while too large a grip leaves the face open and a slicer ensues

I have Ping standard grips

Are standard grips with layers of tape underneath the way to go? I see that you can also buy different size grips which would eliminate the need for tape although the former seems more popular

What do you use?

Yes, I will be asking my club pro and no, I’m not going to Foregolf.

Go to lamkingrips.com, print out their size chat, measure you hand and voilà, there's your answer!

Got the ruler out and I'm standard + 3 layers.

I got the larger grips as recommended by lampkin on 2 of my wedges and i have to say i dont like them at all. I cant wait to change back to regular grips.

I dont notice any difference in clubface position. I just dont find it as comfortable
