This - I have normal hands and long fingers and 'standard' feels like you can't even hold onto it.  Recommended sizing has me just under mid-size.  Also crap.  Jumbos feel perfect.

But I can't find multi-compounds in Jumbo.  So Midsize +4 wraps, or Standard +7/8 wraps (+7/8 wraps looks funny down at the tip of the grip)

the grip sizing is a 'recommendation' but my local fitters note that it's pretty much whatever works for each individual.

the OP might have to try out a few combinations - it's worth it to just resize a club or two and see how it feels and make adjustments on those couple clubs to get it finally right before committing to a full $et

(especially if using tape and solvent method and cutting off the old grips instead of salvaging the old grips - if one does their own, it also becomes a lot easier and cheaper to experiment)

If you need a grip larger than standard but smaller than midsize, then use an extra layer of tape.  If you use more layers of tape, it will stretch the grip and make it feel very firm.  So, if you like a grip with some cushioning, I would just go with a larger grip rather than put more than two layers of tape on it.

Speaking of layers of tape, Bubba Watson is a bit extreme I would imagine. 11 layers of tape under his left hand, 8 under his right, is what I remember hearing on TV, but that seems wrong to me. He's left handed, so wouldn't that be reversed? Well, regardless, the ways of the Bubba are a mystery to us mere mortals.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Size of a golf grip is a personal thing. Took me a while to get it right. Since I regrip my own clubs I was able to tweak it the way I want. For me, I like a slightly larger grip. It takes some movement out of the hands for me, and feels better in my left hand. I have a problem holding onto the club correctly with a smaller grip.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
