So I was recently reading an article where they did a blind test basically, and it turned out that static hand measuring didn't actually work for grip sizing. So my question is how do you go about figuring out your grip size... besides just re-gripping your clubs constantly? I currently use midsize, but think they may still be small for my large hands... 6'5"... something like a 9" hand... used static measuring for these, but like I said, they still feel a bit small.

All I know is I used to love oversize and switched back to standard when I bought my new clubs this year.  They didn't feel bad but I recently changed all my clubs grips (mostly to get rid of that obnoxious Ricky Fowler orange on my amp irons) and realized midsize made a huge difference to me.

I hit some 7i shots and was getting about 160 on the launch monitor.  With the new grips I was hitting it 175 and it felt waaaay better.  I don't know if those distances are accurate because I haven't been to the range yet but I did play a quick 9 this morning and my shots felt much more controlled and I did see a little bit of a distance increase.

I would like to hear others opinions on this

I have used grips that are 1/8" thicker than standard. I originally did this because I read that a thicker grip will minimize wrist action. Since I used to fight a hook, it made sense. I haven't played standard sized grips in years. As someone may have eluded to earlier, one of the major golf magazines had an article recently saying that many golfer play with grips that are too small... I'm now waiting for that exact same magazine to say the opposite in one of their next few issues. It's amazing how those magazines do that...

I like the Winn Dri-tac, Old Vi-17? ....I get them1/8" over size and they are like butter. They are stress-ball soft so If you need extra grip you just squeeze on down. However you do not get the feedback from your shot....

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.

      With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.

      So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
