I just got the Mizunos in my sig last week (used off ebay) and am probably going to regrip them. I am wondering if I should move to a midsize grip though. I am 6'2 with pretty big hands and was wondering what I should go by for grip sizing.

My left hand on my grip goes just past touching my palm and my fingers just curl under the club on the standard stock grips.

Any ideas? I'm planning to go with the $6.99/grip tour velvet to match the stock that came on them as I don't want to justify anything really pricey at this point in my game.

In my bag:
Driver: HiBore XLS (9.5*, stiff, gold shaft)
Irons: FP II 4-GW
Wedges: mp R series 56/13 588DSG 60*
Putter: Unitized TiempoBag: ADIDAS Velocity

Grips are entirely about comfort, so try alot of different grips and pick the most comfortable one!

I fluctuate between standard and midsize and I've always loved midsize grips, maybe with two wraps underneath as well. I did ask a fitter if the theory behind bigger grips means you have to turn the club more in the downswing but he said that some people buy into that theory, some done. His opinion is that there's so much going on already with the entire body that what the hands do on a grip is not as sever as say, the path of the club, etc.

909 D2, 9.5 with Matrix Ozik XCon 5

AP2, 5-PW with Project X 5.5

I agree. But bear in mind that the smaller the grip...the more hand action you should have. Larger grips tend to impede hand action.
