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 was there just for sunday, and it went smoothly. Thanks @Hardspoon for helping in setting this up. 
    • I say this in believing the guy should just pay you and he's a d**k for not.  Do you guys play by the USGA rules strictly? If so, then the claim is valid. It sucks, but it is. Again, he is a d**k for being that nitpicky over it. If he wants to play the game of waiting for you to finish to have his ah-ha moment, again he's a d**k. Though, if the putter is non-conforming, you maybe able to claim that it is not a club?  Just talk to your group and don't invite him back.     
    • Couple of added points.  It was pink and maybe 18 long.  I am 6 1   And he waited until the round was over to say something when he was in my 4 some in the other cart. 
    • I would have paid you. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the extra putter was not in play.  Having said that "Did you declare the extra putter out of play?"  This person seems like a bit of a weenie and he is also setting a dangerous precedent. Let's say he wins next month. Then when it's your turn to pay up, you could refuse. Telling him "I timed you on hole 8 and you searched for your ball and found it at 3 minutes and 1 second. So, you should have taken stroke, plus distance and didn't." You could then show him your stopwatch feature on your phone where you timed it out to 3:01 and say "See."  I actually would just let it go and assume the guy is a weenie. Because doing stuff like that takes the fun out of friendly bets. If he can't afford to pay up, he shouldn't bet.
