it could simply be better for this player because before midsize he may have turned over too much. then almost to avoid too much turn over, would leave his hands open. irregardless of where the ball is going, the proper grip size will help with clubhead release. I agree, most shots often to the right lead the belief that the grip is too small but comfort is more or less the real reason it helped him in this case.

midsize grips are fine but they take out your wrist movement in the shot same thing with oversize putter grips it makes it harder to release your hands.

well for most people in need of midsize have too much wrist movement and tend to crush shots strait left. i had this same problem. the first time i had my tacki mac it2 midsize installed on just my pitching wedge (1 existing wrap +1 extra wrap) the problem was almost gone. i only say ALMOST for this purpose. i decided to add 1 more wrap of tape when i decided to get the entire bag replaced.

(notice: i did this only because the it2's are quite soft and might compact ever so slightly.)

and when i went to the range for the first time to give them i a try i found myself hitting my pitching wedge a little too far left.

I think i figured it out that im coming over top of the ball with proper release and im just hitting them in the direction the club is turning instead of fading it off. MY SWING ISSUE. ive found my mid irons have become a bit more difficult to hit (mainly 6 and 5 and i guess include my 4) probly just need to get used to being able to relax with my grip and focus more on ball position and such.

OVERALL i feel the grip change was a very good idea for me and you have to remember, not everyone has the same hand size. and even if their hand size is proper to the grip, if they arent releasing the club correctly, they could use a smaller or even a larger grip size. its all about comfort with grips.

but i DO agree with you kas910 it tends to take out the wrists but i noticed the grip helps prevent my wrist break carrying over into my lead elbow (for a righty, LEFT elbow) and i know can create angles in proper places while reducing the angles in areas that should not have angles. (or at least not have as much angle)
