I’m a player with smaller hands (size medium glove). Actually have a big palm and short fingers, so I need more of a cadet large tbh. It’s just hard to find as a lh golfer.

Anyways, I went up to a midsize grip on my driver and gained an unbelievable amount of feel and control with the big stick. I need to re-grip my other clubs soon, and I’m trying to figure out what to do. I currently have standard MCC +4 on my irons. I feel like the midsize grip on the driver allows me to really go after it with zero fear of the hook. With the smaller driver grip I typically feel like I’m holding off the face and it leads to huge blocks.

Has anyone else with smaller hands noticed improvement throughout the bag when going up to midsize grips?

I’ll add that I like to play a draw with irons a good bit, so I don’t want to take that out of my game.

It is true that midsize grips will sort of make it harder to close the face.

It also can help with arthritis.

I’ve tried both. I like the midsize for the hand fatigue, but I can still snap hook it as evidenced by today(back spasms- only played bc weather was awesome and friends weee there).

Give it a trial. You could also add wraps to standard and if you feel like midsize is too large or it’s harder ti get the ones you prefer.

Any trouble with Wrist Hinge? My Ping size is "Aqua" which is just below standard. I find it easier to hinge with the smaller grip.

I’ve played Jumbos for years and love it.

I have really big hands though, jumbo is technically slightly too small for me. But I was too scared to go full Bryson. I think I would make the switch now if I regripped.

Long story short I’m a big fan of bigger grips.

I tried to like mids, but it caused unplanned hooks. Opposite of the norm. Now I’m standard.

Same hand size. When I regripped my wedges I accidentally put midsized grips on them. Absolutely love them. It’s about time to regrip my whole set and I’m definitely going with midsize

Pure Grips is going out of business and currently have 75% off.. try buying some midsize to regrip a couple clubs to see if you like that size before fully committing.
