I've been hitting my driver well all season long - until I changed grips two weeks ago.

I had the standard thin Callaway factory grip on and was hitting well. Switched to the mid-size Winn DSI AVS V17 and now I have a consistant power fade/mild slice. (it starts going right at the height of my trajectory).

Could this be caused by changing grip size? Should I switch back to the thin factory grip? I haven't noticed any changes in my swing.

Your advice would be appreciated!

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460

Hy: Callaway FT 3Hy

Irons: AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Vokey 52* & 60*, Mizuno MP-T 10 58*

Putter: Newport Studio Select 2.7

Ball: Nike One Vapor

A grip that's too large can hinder your release and leave the face open a bit. Trying a thinner grip can't really hurt anything and if nothing else, may give you some peace of mind and a little confidence boost.
