I am looking into a new grip size. I use to play with clubs that had big leather wraps and I remember liking those despite my small hand size (very tight in a Men's small glove).
Now I use so called Golf Pride Tour Velvet Ladies which don't seem any different than the normal Tour Velvets on my 0.600 shafts. When I take my grip, my ring and middle fingers do not touch my thumb pad (as Leadbetter says for the proper grip).

Will looking into smaller grips help even if my club shaft is 0.600? I hear PING makes some that are pretty small. Also, even if it is counterintuitive, does it make sense to look at larger grips?

I actually moved up to the midsize. I also have somewhat small and slim hands, but I found the best feel and performance in the Golf Pride DD2 midsize grip. I feel more in control of the club and they have increased my accuracy and touch. It may be just a mental thing,(which I think golf is sometimes 99% mental ), but it seems that the very slight few ounces of extra weight in the grip make the club feel lighter and easier to control.

    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
