Grip & Wraps
Goal: Find a grip that is comfortable in both size and texture.
We recommend a grip that is comfortable in both size and texture. Grip size and texture will affect how the club feels to a player. Most players with large hands prefer oversize grips and the opposite is true for players with small hands. The texture and material of a grip is purely personal preference with no performance implications. Some grips however do perform better than others in inclement weather. Our research indicates that grip size must be extremely thin or thick before it affects a player’s ability to rotate the clubface.

How do I know the proper size grip? Grip size can be a critical element in club fitting and performance. While standard size grips are adequate for the vast majority of golfers, many players can benefit from oversize or undersize grips.
Conventional wisdom holds that a proper size grip permits the fingers in a golfers top hand to barely touch the palm. Unfortunately this rule of thumb does not address many other grip and swing issues, and the only sure-fire way to learn proper grip size is to seek the advice of a PGA golf professional or professional club-builder, who can make a recommendation based on your personal hand size, swing technique, and shot pattern.
In the past, golf grips came in only a few sizes. Any size not offered had to be achieved through build-up tape. Now, grips are made in a wide variety of sizes: junior, undersize, standard, midsize, and jumbo. The following measurements detail differences in grip outside diameter with one wrap of two-sided tape.
