The MCC Plus 4 is a reduced taper grip.  The lower section is larger by approximately 1/16th.  That could result in the entire grip feeling larger...or not, depending on the individual.  Most mid-sized grips are standard +1/16th (0.04) while most jumbo grips are +1/8th (0.08).  The Plus 4 is intended to mimic the feel of having 4 layers of build-up tape under the low hand section of the grip.  Best if you gave one a go before committing to a full set re-grip.  

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

To achieve a larger core size, most guys would use additional grip tape, 2nd wrap or even a 3rd wrap on the upper part of the grip.

Using the right grips on your golf clubs is as important as finding the best shafts for them. As "Golf Digest" states, "The grip affects how the club feels and even how the ball reacts at impact. ... If you really want to mess up a golfer's game, just give him a grip he is uncomfortable with." There are two traditional ways to measure your grip. One is based on two measurements of your hands. The other correlates glove size to grip size.

Measure the length of your glove hand. The measurement runs from the point at the bottom of your hand where your wrist creases to the end of your longest finger. Call this measurement A.

Measure from the tip of your longest finger to the crease where the finger meets the palm. Call this measurement B.

Select a women's standard grip if measurement A is 5 3/4 inches to 6 1/2 inches; a women's oversize grip or a men's undersize grip if measurement A is 6 1/2 inches to 7 inches; and a men's standard grip if measurement A is 7 inches to 7 1/2 inches.

Choose a "men's + 1/32" oversize grip if measurement A is 7 3/4 inches to 8 1/4 inches; a "men's + 1/16" oversize grip if measurement A is 8 1/2 inches to 9 1/4 inches; and a "men's +1/8" oversize grip if measurement A is longer than 9 1/4 inches.

Use your golf glove size as a reference point for an alternative method of determining your grip size. One grip manufacturer's website correlates glove size to grip size. For example, an undersize grip is recommended for a woman whose proper golf glove size is medium. A standard or midsize grip is recommended for a man who wears a large glove.

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
