Not sure if this should be here, or in "Playing Tips & Instruction" (feel free to move if necessary)

About a month ago I switch to the Golf Pride New Decade grips. Love the feel and look of them. Great grip! But ever since switching, I have been pulling the hell out of the ball. It seems that my hand size puts me kind of between the standard size and mid size. They suggested I just go with the standard size.

I don't believe I have made any major changes to my swing. Nothing feels or looks different, anyways.... So...is it possible that these grips may be too small for my hands and causing me to start pulling the ball? I'm really stumped where this pull came from and the timing with switching to different grips makes me wonder....

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460
4 Wood: G15

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

I should also add..... I DID NOT regrip my woods and wedges, and I don't seem to be pulling those. It is just my 5-PW that I regripped and those are the clubs/shots I seem to be pulling.

In theory if the grip is too small you will draw/hook the ball. Too big and you will push it.

Easy fix, just use some compressed air to remove the grips, add a wrap or two of tape and re-install them.

    • I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family
    • First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
