I'm looking at re-gripping my clubs.

Currently I have standard PING 703 grips. Standard size on all my irons. +1/32" - Gold Code on my fairway woods and driver. Can't say I notice a difference other than those may fade more...(that may just be more noticeable because the woods obviously go farther.) but had a few questions:

1) What is the thumb rule or what have others used to determine if they want a standard, under-sized or over-sized grip?
-(FYI I wear a Men's L or Cadet L depending on the brand) - Pings static fitting tells me standard white, but a custom fitting at Edwin Watts told me if you wear a large glove go at least 1 size larger.... what to do.....
2) Golf Pride Recommendations?
-I'm considering a few models of Golf Pride grips: (Note: There web fitting suggests Standard or Mid-Sized for my average playing conditions and wanted feedback)
  • DD2
  • New Decade - Multi-Compound
  • Dual Durometer
3) Winn Recommendations?
-I haven't ruled out Winn grips:
  • Xi7 Style
  • DSi Style
  • PCi Style

Thanks in advance

I am 6 foot 3 so i just decided the get midsize grips, as i inevitably have larger than standard hands. I would say find a club with a midsize grip on it and see how it feels to swing. if it is a little big, stick 3 layers or so of tape under a standard grip. I wear a medium large glove, and use midsize.
What I Play:
Wilson Mini Stand Bag | PING G10, 10.5°, Proforce V2 HL S | PING G5, 15°, 18°, Aldila NV 75 S | PING G5, 19°, Aldila VS Proto By You 80 S
Mizuno MX200 4-PW S | Ping Tour W 50/12 X | Ping Tour W 58/TS X | A selection of putters, all 35.5 inches.

Extra wraps of tape under the grip is the way to go. You can take ANY grip and put 1,2,3 extra wraps under it to increase the size. Even a small number of wraps will be noticeable.

Buy an extra standard grip or two, put them on a club with maybe two extra wraps and go hit some balls. Do another club with three wraps, and mayb one with zero.

Then go with what feels best!

He beat me to it. These will be the next grips that go on my clubs. RockBottomGolf.com has them in a set of 13, with the attachment gun, for $50. Can't beat that!

I read the review, something I may consider down the road.

However, I took them to my regular club fitter and got the Golfpride - New Decade - Multi-Compound in Red / Black. What was great is that he had a demo set of clubs that had standard and mid-size grips. This demo set also was stacked such that the W had 1 wrap, 9I, 2 wraps etc... I was hitting the 8 iron with standard size grip and it had 3 wraps under it. It was perfect. He said basically 4 wraps will make a standard grip a Mid-Size so I ended up going right underneath it. When I hit the 6I which had a Mid-Size w/ only one wrap I could feel the size but it was slightly more spongey.... The 7I (Std w/ 4 wraps) which was basically the same size felt very firm. Before today I didn't even consider the wrapping solutions. I get my set back tommorow and will update you how it compares to the originals.

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
