You may simply need to go with bigger grips.  Jumbo might be right for you.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

You know what they say about guys with big hands...  umm, they need to get bigger grips on their golf clubs

I struggle with this too, I have to make a conscious effort every time or else the club slips back into my palm.  Even when I have a proper grip, sometimes my fingers wrap around and dig into the pad of my hand.  I don't think I have extra big hands, just tiny grips.  My wedges are the only ones with larger grips and I like it a lot better.


I'm a big guy and wear an xl or xxl glove and hooked every shot I hit with standard grips. Also struggled to find a comfortable hand position. Sizing charts recommended midsize grips but those felt too small too. Got some Winn dritac jumbo grips and the problem was mostly solved. The guy even said I should consider adding a couple wraps of tape ... but you can't use those Winn grips with tape apparently. Golf is hard enough. Get equipment that fits you.

I would like to thank my many sponsors:

 

Cobra Amp 9.5* Driver; Aldila RIP Stiff 55g shaft

Titleist 904f 17* 4W; S300 shaft

Callaway X-22 3-P, reg flex, 1/2" long, 2* up

Titleist Vokey 252.08 & 256.14 wedges; standard

Ping Anser Putter (because it gives me the confidence I need to 4 putt)

Winn Dri-Tac Jumbo grips all around

Top-flite Gamer V2 ball

I'm 6'4", 210lbs, 34yo.


I have big hands and thought getting jumbo grips would help, but I found out that it wasn't the size of the golf grip, but my grip on the club with my hands that was the problem, especially the left hand.  I made sure to get the heal pad of my left hand on top of the grip and it felt very comfortable and very powerful, like is won't move around during my swing.  I have regular size grips now with an extra piece of tape, that is it.  I like the feeling of smaller grips now, and it feels easier to control the club with regular size grips.

    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
