The Right Grip

Grip sizing is not as simple as sizing a tee shirt. Factors such as hand size, swing mechanics, and personal comfort all come into play. There is an art to it, you are the artist, and we are here to help you.

We are so passionate and committed to getting you in the grip best for your game that we will have one of our Gripmobiles at your doorstep installing free grips should you be dissatisfied with your initial purchase.

Here are some guidelines: 

Undersize:

  • <7-inch hand measurement (how to measure described below)
  • Encourages active hands and feel

Standard Size:

  • 7–8.25 inches hand measurement (how to measure described below)
  • Balanced feel and control

Midsize:

  • 8.25–9 inch hand measurements
  • For players who prefer less wrist action
  • Great for players fighting hand fatigue or arthritis
  • If you find yourself squeezing the club, going up a size may be the right call.

Oversize/Jumbo:

  • Hands larger than 9 inches, or those needing maximum wrist stability
  • Ideal for minimizing grip pressure for smooth swings
  • There has been a lot of talk by PGA stars of recent about the benefits of larger grips (of note, Bryson DeChambeau). He uses JumboMax grips.

How to Measure Your Hand 

  • Open your hand flat
  • Measure from the crease in your wrist to the tip of your middle finger
  • Use a ruler or flexible tape measure
  • Onsite Grips will bring a sizing chart to you

Choosing the Right Grip Material

Different grips match different players and playing conditions:

  • Rubber Grips — Soft, comfortable, everyday feel.
  • Corded Grips — Extra traction, ideal in humidity or rain.
  • Wrap Grips — Cushioned and easy on the hands.
  • Hybrid Grips — Best of both worlds: comfort + control.

Sweaty hands – If you deal with sweaty hands (hyperhidrosis), certain grips like corded grips or moisture-wicking materials can make a big difference in your control as the embedded cotton fibers absorb sweat and channel it away, maintaining traction even when your hands are wet. Typically, these grips have a rougher feel than others but do help with moisture. Examples:

  • Golf Pride MCC (MultiCompound)
    (Half corded upper hand for traction, rubber lower hand for feel)
  • Golf Pride Z-Grip Cord
    (Full cord, firmer, best for maximum moisture control)We recently had a customer who suffered from severe hyperhidrosis and she has providing raving reviews of this grip. 
  • Lamkin Crossline Full Cord
    (Very popular among players who sweat a lot)
  • Lamkin UTx Cord
    (Softer feel but still has moisture-wicking properties)

When Is It Time to Regrip?

Over time, even the best grips wear down. Here’s when you know it’s time to refresh:

  • Loss of Tackiness — Grips feel slick or slippery even when dry
  • Visible Wear — Cracks, shiny spots, or smooth areas
  • Hardening — Grips feel stiff or brittle instead of tacky
  • Increased Grip Pressure — You catch yourself squeezing the club too hard likely means you are in the wrong size or your grip lacks the traction to control your club.

A general rule in the industry is to regrip every 12–18 months or about 40 rounds —A lot of factors come into play such as your grip pressure, where you store your clubs, and if you clean your grips after each round (from things like oils and suntan lotion).
