Looking to Make the Jump to Midsize Grips...

Eddie

So every grip selector tool I use tells me that I should be using midsize grips.

My measurement from base of hand to end of of middle finger is over 8".

I don't know why I haven't just tried to go midsize, one reason why I'm hesitant to do so is I'm basically going to have to rebuild every club in my bag, because I'll be adding 15g ish to the butt end of the club and lose 3sw per club, which I've gone through the painstaking process of blueprinting to exactly what feel I want.

Anyone recently make the jump and see a difference?

Has going to a thicker grip helped in terms of vibration dampening?

8 1/4" and use standard. Sometimes with one extra wrap. I've tried mid size grips and don't notice any difference in play, the level of suck is the same. Meh.

I gotta preface this by saying, I don’t know anything about swing weight. Kind of like scotch, if it’s good to me, it’s good. If it sucks, I’m not drinking it. Same idea with swing weight I guess (for me).

I switched to midsize grips last year for some hand issues (before the huge hand issue). I also grabbed some shaft dampers. I’m never going back to standard grips. It feels like I’m holding a pencil.

As far as swing weight goes. I was playing a practice round with some guys early last year after I added the grips. One asked to take a look at them (neon orange joints😂) and I said sure. He takes a couple swings and asks/says, they are really light in the head, doesn’t that mess your swing up? I said, I didn’t even think about that but now that you mentioned it...

So what I did, threw some lead Tape on the heads and they feel great to me. Now are all of the swing weights the same? Probably not. Probably explains my why my consistency is awful with my irons.

All that being said, I offer no help but, I have seen a big difference in dampening. It’s helped the pain in my hands considerably, but that could also be the shaft dampeners 🤷‍♂️.

Next set of clubs will have the GP Midsize Align grips. I have one on my 1i and absolutely love it. Need to throw one on the driver.

I did the opposite. I went from a midsize to standard just because I wanted (and found) a light blue MCC grip (prior to the college colors release this month). Yes, stupid I know, but when your game looks like garbage, you gotta make up for it with your irons looking pretty. I definitely noticed a difference with swing weight. On my next set build, I had to have that adjusted and everything is back to normal (for now). Knowing how solid your game is and in tune you are with your clubs, you are going to notice it. If you want to see what it's like, just pull a grip off your six iron and put the midsize on it and see for yourself.

I have hands like shovels.

Midsize don't seen to taper the same to me as a std grip with 4/5 layers and I've always stuck to the latter because of it.

What do you want to achieve from this exercise?

I am waiting for My order of JumboMax smalls to come in. I tested out one recently and loved it. For me I’ve been battling elbow issues and hoping a bigger grip plus pro soft inserts helps. I’m also looking forward to the Jumbomaxs as it should in theory keep me from turning the club over so easily
