After watching this video, and your stop slicing video, and seeing what to me is the absolute simplest description of how to grip a club neutral, I started gripping my club this way today, and saw immediately different ball flight......thanks for the great easy tip
Just changed grips this year to standard size +4. It relaxed my right hand grip pressure which was becoming overly dominant (snatchy) in takeaway and overactive through impact. Result was incredibly straight ball flight I mean like laser straight! All good
Before you went +4 were you hooking or slicing? I've been considering a +4 grip because I think it might help keep my trail hand in a stronger position
I bought a used hybrid w/a metal shaft that had been stepped on the end. But it was crushed so that it fit perfectly in the wedge of my palm so it gave me instant feedback. Could hit 210 bombs fade/draw/straight w/my eyes closed. Reminder grips are great & nobody would ever know unless they held your clubs. Hustlers secrets exposed....! Peace Great Video Trottie-doo!
This is such an important topic. I have large hands and wear xl gloves. JumboMax grips have been great for me. As a plus they have helped tremendously with wrist and elbow pain. Likely due to working in the construction industry. I use the XSmall. They take a little getting used to but definitely worth it.
@@dustintitterington1856 I had elbow pain this time for the first time in my life. I went to a harder cord grip for a few months and the pain came in. I am thinking about going more tapes but it’s a big change , even just one extra tape is a transition. Good on ya for going bigger, I’ve heard positive things from everyone who’s made the move
Great overview. Out of interest I trialled the Bryson Jumbo mid size grip on my 3 wood. Haven’t played for months due to UK lock down but I was very impressed. Absolutely smoked my 3 wood it couldn’t hit my driver to save my life. Going to test the jumbo grip on the driver for something to do. I did find it kept the face more open and my strikes were pure even after the forced lay off! Let’s see how the testing goes.
Excellent. I struggle with letting my right hand work under the shaft when gripping it. Divots dont lie though, when Im a little weaker with my naturally hanging right hand my divots are square.
I was listening to this video with headphones and the audio at the start was brutal, it was shaking from right ear to left ear. But this video was helpful so 4/5!!
i think, this should benefit mostly those with a weak grip and seniors, but those with a strong grip, not necessary needed. other sports, if allowed it might help is tennis and baseball. then again, why don't they come with jumbo grips already or some sort of inflation system to adjust the size and grip for each club?
Awesome video. Switching down from a midsize back to standard.. right hand (rh golfer) can't sit neutral on the grip, the midsize is forcing a strong grip causing some nasty hooks. Gonna try to go thinner grip to have the hand sit more neutral comfortably.
@@matthewdurzo5948I’m having issues with the grip slipping feeling like it’s slipping in my down swing almost like the grip slips down my hand I’m thinking about going down to standard to see if I can get more control with it
Great video. I am in a pickle I have been using standard size grips on my wedges all my life and never thought of going up to a bigger size. I have 10/11(XL) hand size. My swing involves a lot of wrist action I tend to pull couple of shots in each round from Turning over. In lockdown in Ireland so it’s time I change my grips and start fresh when I am back out in the course. Could really do with your help
Sounds like you should size up at least 1 to midsize from standard. If the fingers on your lead hand are digging into your palm then you're definitely a size too small. You want the fingers to touch the palm but not did
You mentioned midsize grips, and I have larger hands (XL glove) is the size dictated more by grip pressure I apply or hand size? Lobe the videos keep up the great work, it has made me a better golfer by understanding my equipment better.
@@TheAboriginal1 my driver has midsize cp2 wrap and my irons have standards mcc plus 4. My lead hand fingers are about in the same exact position on both. Just touching-little digging in. I was considering sizing up to midsize on my irons but i am unsure of what to do
@@bennettblackmon2858 try it on 1 before you do the whole set. The risk with sizing up is that you'll start slicing because you have less control on the grip through impact
I find getting the right grip size confusing. I’ve been told I need mid size because I have large hands and I’ve been told I need standard because I have small hands. So confusing. I like to regrip my clubs myself but never know if I need extra tape or not
I currently have Golfpride Tour Velvet Midsize grips on pretty much every thing I wear a M/L cadet glove I am gonna try the Golf Pride MCC +4 midsize grips on a couple of my woods to see if i like them and if i do like them will switch them all will the swing weight be much different you think ? your thoughts ? thx for your videos cheers from Vulcan Canada
No I think swing weights will be close but weigh the grips first and weigh the old grip as you remove it to be certain. Something to consider is regripping the wedge as the test club and not the driver. Reason being you might grip down your wedge on knock down shots which will highlight the +4 no taper , driver you’re just gonna grip it normal and full send so might not be your best test option.
My question is, would the v from the right hand go between chin and the left shoulder (for BBC a right handed golfer) been that is the way they turn in? I’ve been playing average golf, changing my swing too often trying to find a more comfortable grip.. so this has been my struggle.. also trying to find the right size grips.. great videos!!
In your opinion which grips are best during wet weather...or..hot humid weather when hands are sweating. I use the Golf Pride Tour Wrap and they are great most of the time but really get slick when wet...looking for suggestions
Superstoke make some good cord options & then there's a leather grip out there that's always good in humidity or wet. Grip Master from Australia make the leather option.
Hand is a fraction under 7" from wrist to middle finger. Golf Pride says a standard grip when I go off measurement but undersize when I go by glove size (small). Is it just preference at this point?
my question is.... when is it the time to start questioning grip size vs swing mechanics?? this is my biggest question.. when we go to fitting, they dont have all the sizes there to try with different clubs.. at least they didnt last time i went..
Having trouble getting comfortable with my grip .. could this be that my grips are too thick. I am a medium glove and I recently had my clubs regripped to try different grips .. irons with standard Golf pride half-cord with one extra wrap on tape and a second extra wrap on the lower half. On my woods I put an MCC Plus 4 with one extra wrap under just to try it out. My grip has recently changed and I thought that is why it is uncomfortable but this article leads me to believe my grips might be too thick. Thoughts?
Trottie, as for swingwieght purposes only here... I see the midsize grips go up some 14grams heavier from standard grips. Would adding 4 strips of tape be lighter at the grip than just using a midsize grip? ive looked everywhere for this info but cant find it.
Hey Trottie! Quick question... I was hitting my personal P7MC 5iron, with my grip size and club spec.. then tried a teammates apex pro 4 iron, similar spec just smaller grips.. and I hit my P7MC 5 just as far if not further than I hit his 4 iron apex pro. Could the grip size make that type of difference in distance? Just was curious
@@trottiegolf thanks bro! Informative WITB too.. I know people always ask you! Lol.. not fully understanding what’s great for you isn’t what’s ok for them!! But gotta please the people right?! Lol.. last question. What are the pros and cons of building up my standard grips to midsize, vs playing straight midsize
@@trottiegolf yeah thats my problem. idk if its because i use the wrong grip size or just place my left hand wrong. even with standard grip 1 tape they never touch, there is always a gap for me - but when using even smaller grips thats unplayable for me
I firmly accept anyones belief regardless of my own because that persons belief adds value and meaning to their life that I would never wish to take away, however the most ironic thing to me in the world and peoples alternate beliefs of its creation is god and Jesus followers believe there is no alternate beings and that the bible is gospel and heaven and hell and and there is no such thing as another creator or species - without noticing the most obvious irony in mankind - if god created the the 7 days etc one day the sun then the earth etc - people are missing the most obvious tell of all time - god literally is an extraterrestrial, if outside of our planet he created the sun and moon and earth etc then he was not from this planet and therefore and extraterrestrial being from another world already created or creating him . . .

Great information again and again. Your the best
How should you decide on when to start adding wraps? Larger hands..more wraps? Or is it all just feel?
When the grip impacts how your hands go on the club

Scott Allen hand size and then how you grip the club ⛳️
Check if your fingers on lead hand are digging into your palm. If so size up. If they are touching but not digging then you're good to go

Corded grips is the tour solution for playing in the wet.

Preference would be my first thought, but if handsy then go thicker

you have to weigh the tape, I can't tell you how much 4 strips is? Up 14 grams will make the swing weight move by 2 to 2.5 points....
@@trottiegolf i understand i didnt have any to weigh.. just got fitted and am looking at mid grips.. wondering which way would be best.
Thanks again

@@aaronalexander5999 build up will feel softer v 1 tape and a midsize .... that one is all about compound and preferred feel
so if my left hand is too strong - is the grip too small or too big 👀
Either you're holding the club incorrectly of the grip is too small. Fingers just need to be touching fleshy pad (I prolly say that in this vid?)
