I recently bought a new set of irons and I need them to be gripped because I have big hands. The local pro/ my instructor told me I need bigger grips because small grips cause a change in my swing. My question is what size, and or brand, should I go with? I'm 17 years old and probably will grow some more, if that changes anything. Thanks for the help.

here's a general size chart. i would wear an XL and i use midsize pure grips. the brand and grip style will be personal depending on firmness and tackiness so you should try out several different kinds. but you will deffinently want to try the midsize or jumbo grips

ugh, I wear a medium glove and was told I was between a mid and jumbo. Is that possible? I didn't think I was a mid size and asked many time at different stores but was told and measured mid sized. So annoying I guess when I go for a new driver I will ask for a club fitting. Going to be so pissed to have all my clubs re-done if that is the case.

Usually a Club Fitting shop has a sample of their grips.   You should try different size of their samples before regripping your irons.

Also a club fitter can use a Standard size grip and make it thicker by using more tapes.

a good rule of thumb to see if you have the proper size is if your lower hand (right for righty) middle and ring finger barely touches the pad of your palm under the thumb. if your nails or fingers dig in and feels like you could be holding the club too tight, they are too small. if the fingers are too spread from the palm and your release motion feels restricted, they are too big.

Your best bet is to get fitted.

A good club fitter will fit your grip first and everything else last. Go visit your local golf shop. Ask the PGA pro there to give you 2 minutes of his time.

You can print a measuring tool on the lamkin website, that helps you decide on the correct size !  I treated myself to their Crossline Tour Navy Blue grips.  Installed them myself on my Mizuno irons to replace the old GP tour velvets.  Couldn't be happier !  Really no contest between the two !

A registered Pro in any shop should be able to suggest something for you. I wear a Large glove but have never liked the feel of Mid-Sized or Over-Sized grips. Winn is my preferred grip but there are so many out there you will be sure to find one you like.

    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
