not sure what decision is best but id like some incite. buy a midsize grip? or should i build up a standard?

not sure how much grip tape on a standard makes a midsize. and im not sure if im willing to take the chance on them still not being big enough.

also, anybody like Pure Grips?

To each is own, but I would just use the mid-size grips.

I use mid-size grips and install them myself. More tape is more time and money.

are you talking in reference to pure grips? i know the most common things about pure grips is durability, and the ease of putting on/replacing the grip with the air compressor. the few other companies ive been looking at is lamkin crossline (possibly cord), pure grips, and two questionable grips.

1. i have an old wilson "staff" blade pitching wedge, that i bought with the entire irons set, that has a golf pride sofftie on it. BUT its full cord. And i literally have no idea where to find a grip even remotely the same. golf pride players sofftie cord? cant find even a review. and

2. i recently bought a tour edge 3 wood that has a switched taylormade motore f1 shaft, but i love the grip on it. Black Widow tour silk. It's a little worn out but i know brand new and maybe even midsized it could be a really solid grip. I've been looking around black widow stuff online and they look decent.

and i forgot the last grip i want that i will never find. Royal Grip tour sand wrap by lamkin. apparently they were huge in the asian market and lamkin bought them out because of their strength in selling points. They look stunning and i know for a fact that id love the feel. apparently this is a preferred grip for Phil Mickelson. Only one i found was a set of 13 on Ebay, standard sized, which is why i wanted to ask about "building up".

golf is the most complicated sport, and its only complicated because of equipment. haha

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
