I have freakishly small hands for a man of 26-years of age. Anyway, today while I was hitting a quick 9 holes, I noticed that sometimes while in my swing the club wobbles. Regardless how tight I grip the club, I still get a wobble. I've never noticed it before, but I'm guessing it's always been there. ANYWAY, I was thinking maybe I should get smaller grips. Someone told me it might actually help my slice. (It's bad!) I'm just wondering what you all think. Has your game improved by getting smaller (or bigger) grips?

Yes, grip size is very important.  If you are using too large of a grip, it can lead to the wobbling and slicing you describe.  See the following basic info to give you a guide of what you should be looking for. http://www.golfpride.com/FAQs.aspx#proper_size

I don't have large hands (I use a Med/Large glove), and use standard size grips with one wrap.  I can't stand midsize/oversize grips in anything other than my putter, where I am fine with something like the Winn AVS midsize pistol.  What type of grips are you currently using?

I think they're all standard. All the clubs I'm using I got used, and I'm just assuming they're standard.

I play with Winn Midsize grips.  I had the oversize on an older set and it was fine, I have big hands XL glove.  I like the midsize grips a lot.

I too have small hands for a male.  I wear a Taylormade Small Cadet glove and the length between the end of my wrist and my middle finger is 6 1/2" and I use Winn undersized grips on all my clubs.
