Marcel,

We have found over the years that grip sizing is one of personal preference and not one of proper fitting. Realistically, there is no such thing as a correct grip size for a golf club just as there is no correct grip size for a spoon and fork, pencil, chopstick, or even a surgeon's scalpel. I have known many golfers with small hands who prefer a jumbo grip on their golf clubs and, by the same token, many golfers with huge hands who prefer undersized grips. Across the board we have found that the vast majority of golfers, regardless of hand size, prefer a mid-size grip (1/16” larger than standard), which is what we install. As in your case, if a golfer prefers a different size or type of grip than what we install they can re-grip their clubs without fear of affecting the playability of the golf club whatsoever.

Contrary to what is promulgated about grip size affecting the ability to release the golf club through impact, this is simply a myth.

David

Thanks David. Perhaps something to consider in the future would be to allow golfers that already know their preference for grip size to be able to select between standard and mid-size so that they won't have to incur the additional expense (and delay in using their clubs) from having to regrip their clubs. Just a suggestion.

Also thanks for clearing up the myth.

Marcel
