My Thoughts and My Grips

I think most golfers play with grips that are too small. I don't have a large hand -- I wear a Medium Large glove -- and still use the 'mid-size' Tour Wrap cord grip (it's already 'fatter' than normal) with two wraps of tape underneath. This puts the last three fingers of my left hand just touching the palm.

This is interesting and is something I've been considering since reading your other posts on this subject. I was in one of our local used equipment stores just last week messing around with different clubs and noticed that a couple clubs I tried had mid-size grips; they felt quite comfortable.

I've tried larger grips a couple of times and find I can't release the club as well. I wear large gloves and play standard grips. What's wrong with me Yoda?

Not a thing, Trig. That's why they make'em in all sizes!

I also have a Medium glove with midsize grips. I think modern grips are very skinny especially under the right hand.
