Recently started regriping all my extra clubs in the garage after watching your videos, practicing for my play set. This video hit just ar the right time as I'm going with xl grips and 2 wraps on top and 3 on the bottom. Keep em coming!!!!

Great point. I wear a cadet large glove so it makes sense, plus I have arthritis and carpel tunnel so it helps there’s too. Other golfers I played with this year noticed them and asked to swing my club to get a feel for them and every one of them decided to re-grip.

I'm really enjoying your content. A LOT of it applies directly to me. Keep up the good work and I'll keep binge watching your content. 👍

Wow this came just as I’ve added two tapes under a standard grip. My problem was I kept pulling the ball left, checked that I was not going over the top so thickened the grip…..I must say it worked and my last game I was more accurate with my short irons…ball on green as opposed to left just off. I also as I had a jumbo grip (no idea how I came to have it) I put it on my pitching wedge…….I was hitting it straight as a die….only problem was it was going my normal 9 iron distance…..adapted to that. Still think I’ll go up to midsize…..I have a medium glove but I think my fingers are long and as you grip in the fingers a larger grip helps. Great video as always.

My hands are fairly small for a guy and I have always used standard size. Recently changed to mid size and what a great difference. I put on the Golf pride CP2 wraps and Pro's and its a much better golfing world for me. The difference in performance is unbelievable. My ability to control the golf club increased greatly. Sad thing is the grip size is a part of the puzzle that golfers almost never think about. This was an excellent tutorial on grip size. Very thoughtful. Another thought. Its not always an exact science. When I went to my fitters and put my hands against the chart to measure for grip size it read that I should be using standard or maybe a tad smaller. Yet you put a mid size grip on the club and those two fingers just barely or lightly touch as mentioned in this video. So I had two different choices. I decided to go with what felt better in my hands. I also had an old hybrid club that had always been my best bet in the bag. I checked the grip size and it was mid size . So the measuring charts may say one thing and your results might indeed be better going up a size.

TY! Great info tutorial about grip sizes, I didn't know anything about it, but it makes perfect sense, I have big hands and been short changing my grip, now I know what to do! 👊👊👍💯

I switched to the Golf Pride CP2 Jumbo a couple months ago from standard ... big change, but the club just feels so much more secure in my hands with less grip pressure than ever .. will never go back.

Interested in seeing a video regarding putter grips. How to size and most importantly how to install correctly regarding installation and correct alignment . Great channel live your content.

Great video, its all about feel...

Great video and sound advice, really helpful.

I don’t know how I didn’t think of this. Haha. Great video man!

I like the +4 grips for a lot of people, I sell a lot of the Tour Velvet +4 when the glove hand fingers are good against the palm test ...but they want a bit more to hold on to with the right hand

I really like your videos I always learn so much. I have trying to figure this out

This is what I did when I put a different grip on my PLD putter…. +2 wraps ….what a feeling …and now I don’t squeeze my grip as much I used to do

Great advice, thanks very much!

I bought a used Ping Glide 2.0 SS and it came with a med cp2 grip and wow I loved it and since I have switch to mid size grips.

I just got my 7 iron re-gripped to a midsize ($11 installed for a GP Tour Velvet), giving it a go at the range. If it feels nice I'll regrip the whole set. What's strange is that my fingers wrap around and slightly touch my palm for both standard and midsize grips. I wear an ML glove. I guess it'll just come down to feel for me.

The compressed air technique is working fine for me.

That’s a great point. I went midsize a little over a year ago. I wear a cadet large glove so it makes sense. Other golfers I played with this year noticed them and wanted to swing my club to see how it felt and they decided to regrip. I also have arthritis and carpel tunnel so they help there too. Haven’t seen other youtubers bring this up.

I use over grips like are used on tennis racquets. That’s what I used before I went to Midsize grips that I’m getting ready to re-grip irons with.

I've used std size all my life, but now I'm going to midsize, I think it will help reduce hooks. Also my clubs were too long, so with that and swing changed, I will be back to the fades again soon😉

Great Video! Thank you 🔥👏💪🫶

Great idea. Thanks MCG.

I moved to midsize because the left hand felt slightly loose at the top of the swing. Specifically between the fleshy pad of the thumb and grip. Tighter gripping helped but that made my hands hurt after a while.

Nice tip. Easy way to try it out. Wondering if a saran wrap on top of the tape could solve the grip loss issue 🤔 (for the testing phase, not permanently of course 😂)

If you use hockey tape (cloth tape) instead of masking tape it has plenty of traction to play with it on the range. I taped up 3 of my irons at different thicknesses and played a full round with it

Thanks for this vid! One area I'm uncertain about is putter grip size and shape. Love to hear some thoughts on this topic.

Don't forget that when adding layers over the grip there is already one under it. If you add 2 over the grip as shown and it feels comfortable then you need 3 u der when re-gripping for real

Very good idea.

I've started down the Bryson oversized route. I started by trying it on my driver first. I had a cheap $20 driver and put the grip on. After 10 or so balls of adjustment I've never driven so well. I can control the club face far easier and added 30-50 yards compared to the stock grip with this club (220 -> 275). I've got another large grip coming to fit on my actual driver. I've also got two grips that are a size down coming to try on an iron and a hybrid.

Mine are "too big" but I've had hand issues and found that Jumbo grips (specifically ones with some shock absorption like the CP2 Pro) have really helped a lot. But obviously that's a special case that doesn't follow standard guidelines.

Hi great video I just tried my clubs and I was quite shocked I have two types of grips my wedges are midsize and the rest are standard but even with the standard grips my fingers are at least 1/4 inch gap ! I do have big hands but fingers are on the shorter side .. is it possible to have thinner grips ??? Thank you

Ich habe alle meine Griffe auf Midsize geändert, es ist so als ob ich neue Schläger habe. Das Gefühl schon beim ansprechen hat sich enorm verbessert. Empfehlen kann ich den Winn-DR-Tac.

Great idea - thanks for sharing...I'll try it on my next gripping session forever looking for more distance and accuracy!

Thanks so much. Your videos are invariably helpful. Do we know if by adding extra layers of tape that the grip material is stretched enough to make it thinner, therefore counteracting some of the effect of the additional tape?

I remember seeing Jim Thorpe’s huge hands and he played with standard grips. That was odd now that we see Bryson DeChambeau with normal size hands playing huge Jumbo Max grips.

Only wear a medium glove and standard grips always felt way too small. Midsize felt so much better. But all the literature says I'm standard, my coach said thats BS and to add some tape wraps. Settled on standard grip with 3/4 wraps of tape under. Cheap midsize grips are a bit smaller I've found so I can use one wrap with those. Try ONE club first and experiment then do the rest

I have the opposite problem. I need 1/64 under a standard mens grip. I find that can be a challenge to get right. It very much depends on the shaft size. Stretching a grip can be a hit and miss proposition.

even though i measure up for standard grips and fit a medium glove I by trail and error have found i like the +4 grips on my irons and a med on my driver, creates less grip presure and less had arm tension in the swing for me and has not changed my shot shape and allowed higher swing speeds

The hand grip size indicator you spoke of regarding your fingers is useful...however given the trend to oversize grips (eg JumboMax) and the imperical evidence suggesting longer range (7-10yrds) and tighter spread, your grip finger guide would seem redundant 🤔

Been playing tennis for 20+ years. Standard golf grips always felt tiny. Switching to mid +4 feels great!!

Arthritic fingers made me switch to jumbo grips maybe too big but more comfy!!!

Hi AJ. Great video as always. Recently I bought the Boccieri Secret Grip that weights 95g and tried it in my driver. SW dropped to C6, it was D2. It became the most consistent driver I've ever hit. I regrip my iron set with this 95g grip and surprisingly it is the best irons ever. Do you have any idea why this heavy grips work? At least for me. Also, what's your opinion about the Jumbomax grip used by Bryson DeChambeau? Merry Xmas and a very Happy New year!!

Hi . I love the video and I really learned something. So adding tape to the lower part of the club do you cut the tape half the side of the grip? Next question are you the maker of JP Wedges? Thanks, Robin.

There are some thin tennis racquet style grip tapes made for golf clubs. You apply it over your old grips so it makes it a bit thicker and 1/8 the hassle of regripping. Any thoughts on JumboMax? I’m trying out their XS and S sizes definitely takes a bit of getting used to

I wish you stayed near me 😭😭😭 watching this about to get regripped and honestly feel i should be paying you to do it

Was hoping u could talk on counteweight and how much weight to start tinkering with in all clubs so I don't have to buy every weight in the shop. Thanks Lewis

Use the grip that feels comfortable and provides the best feel for you. Whatever size that is.

I’ve seen where extra grip thickness causes you to slice or fade more is this true?

Excellent information AJ!!! What is that Black Chrome iron shaft??

Clever!

Yeah that's fine and dandy but it would be sweet if you could remove old grips without damage. I just use the old golf pride tour velvet standard or lampkin standard on my wedges and hybrid not thick at all. I fee like putting more tape on just makes the grip feel gummy under it., I have huge hands but the thicker grips never feel right to me. I play a set of Callaway prototypes and it would probably save my hands having more rubber but I like the feeling.

Thanks for the video AJ, just curious, I've been told that the difference between standard and midsize is around 3~4 wraps, so is +1 wrap(1/64) or +2 wraps(1/32) more precisely in between? I'm a right-handed player and my left hand is exactly 20cm or 7.87 inches, is +1 wrap or +2 wraps on standard tour velvet grips going to fit better for my hand size? Thank you.

I tried moving from standard to mid size some years ago on an old hybrid and was disappointed the feel off the face totally changed for the worse. Subsequently I was led to believe this might have been due to a change in the weight of the grip and therefore swing weight. Could this have led to the feel of contact becoming very dead and woolly? These days I use the MCC+4 but after watching this I am tempted to try a little more tape under the top part of the grip as well.

Great tip, but intrigued as to what happens with those with mechanical issues ie rsi or worse still arthritis , MCC midsize +4 with 3 wraps, some may find that overkill for a medium hand, not me, your thoughts please. Not forgetting the bionic grips.

Good morning from Canada. I enjoy your informative videos, thank you. My question is, I've purchased a new set of irons, can I use your air compressor trick to remove the grips on factory irons and put on a extra rap of tape to increase the grip size ?

How many layers of tape can be put on grips untill it’s too hard to slip on ? Will it be easer with air ??

I use 5 wraps of tape and use a small med glove but it feels good. I can swing freely without chocking too hard on the club if that makes sense. It made no difference to my shot shape.

Jumbo Max grips - give em a try

I need to change to midsize from standard. My grips on the club are still good....can I remove the grips and add wraps and RE-INSTALL the grips?

Hi AJ, would you say the industry speak when somone says I have 2 tapes is 2 tapes + the double sided tape. So esentialy 3 tapes? Also when u tape the bottom hand with say 2 tapes do you stagger them a little for a smoother transition? Could u do a vid on that one day....build up tapes and how to apply 🤔 Cheers.

Do you recommend using the same grip size for your entire bag? From the wedges to driver?

This I find very interesting indeed After fitting the double sided tape on the club and before you fit the grip You do not appear to be removing the paper cover exposing the second sides adhesive. Do you leave it on ? Am I correct and you are leaving the paper cover on ? Kindest regards

What if I’m pushing all my shots right with my irons and wedges? Have jumbo cp2 wraps on all.

Might be a silly question but would changing the grips from a regular size (Winn grips) to an oversized rubber grip (tour wrap) mess up the club swing weight? I love the head weight on my clubs currently but the grips are way too small.

Hi AJ, I am currently doing a study on driver shafts built with composite materials and you seem to have a great knowledge on shafts and golf equipment, I would love to be able to ask some questions as information is hard to find, do you have a Twitter or email for questions?

Should u test the gap with a glove on, or would that matter?

would wrapping grip with tennis raquet tape accomplish the desired size?

👍

Could you comment on non-tapered grips?

What’s your view on the low taper grips?

I'm having issues in my top hand movement of top of grip moving as it doesn't sit well in cushion pad in palm and have over 7 months damaged my pinky joint just below finger in top of palm, had coach ask me about my hands and I felt left hand move about parallel and then right hand move at top this feeling is hand coming off club, do imneed bigger grips my top hand from wrist crease to longest finger is 7 1/4 inch and longest finger 3inch and i wear medium to medium large glove subject to maker

Do we do this with a glove on or off when trying to find our size

Do your hands control the grip? Or does the grip control your hands? If your hands are on the small side, try an undersized (or junior) grip, and get control of the club..

I have seen a lot of people going to 2 extra wraps under their lower hand….not sure what the advantages or disadvantages of this might be….

How many wraps between undersized and standard? I’m always sized for an undersized grip when I go to the golf pride and Winn websites.

Is there a measurement for standard as compared to the next size?

How would that affect swing weight?

What if you need grips smaller than regular?

👍✅👍

Ever try hockey grip tape?

Anything past 3 wraps, grip gets too squishy and it's better to go next size up.

Why would you not use Tennis Grip Tape, to do the test, then you should be able to hit full shots until the tape wears out?

It’s all personal preference lol. I’ve seen women use oversized and men’s use undersized(ladies) even with big hands hahaha. It’s all on what YOU LIKE not on what anyone else likes. There is a chart to base off but it’s all personal preference haha

Why didn't you put a length of tape straight down the grip, instead of trying to wind it round in a spiral and making all those ugly wrinkles??

Gonna ruin every grip you have trying this bs... Pay the $10 for a grip and learn to do it yourself and just try the damn grip... It's the only way you'll know...
