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.

    • I didn’t think of the non conforming aspect.  As for the strict following of the rules up until now we play “by the rules” in a relaxed manner. We have never held another accountable for their actions. Until yesterday I can’t tell you of an instant that something like this happen or even a disagreement. The guys that play every week told me they really thought he was joking at first when he told me he wasn’t paying me.  As of 30 minutes ago one of other members in the golf group text message who wasn’t even at the course yesterday removed him from the group. The group message has about 30 guys from the club that we just use to know who’s playing and what time. The text message doesn’t have any club employees it doesn’t have anything to do with scheduling tee times.  A couple guys some who were there and some who were had a private conversation thought it was bs and don’t want the drama. They all said it was bs each one said didn’t care since most sundays my daughter is with us as well as other players kids.  
    • @wwk3I can send you something if you give me a way to contact you.  I'd rather not just throw it out in public... @scott61 I can send you something - how do I get your email? @Bnoble I use python to pull access codes, and c#/.Net to do the rest.  I could probably get you what you need.  Let me know how to get in touch with you and I'll see what I can do... @blagbogsLet me know how to get in touch with you directly via email. @WhirlwindLet me know how to get in touch - there is an easier way...
    • Would You Rather Number 72:   Would you rather have a legitimate 5 handicap but every round you play the other 3 people in your foursome are playing off a 20. Or Would you rather have a legitimate 10 handicap but every round you play the other 3 people in your foursome are scratch or better. 
    • This was something that came to mind as well. Would it be, if it didn't conform then it could not be a 15th club? 
    • Did the 'club' conform to the Equipment Rules?
