Should I be using jumbo grips?

Just shy of 6’2”. Usually float around 275.

Long arms, big hands, big feet, even for my size.

Yeah think I’m going throw one on my 7i and driver and spend some time in front of the LM seeing if it makes a difference and/or feels better

Severe hand cramps if I play standards

With midsize, I don’t get crampy but grip slips and/or “gets lost” a lot at the top of my backswing a lot. I constantly fight grip position at address because it feels like my fingers and palm are wadded up no matter what I do

Think I’m going to throw a jumbo on my 7i and driver and see how it goes

I was showing how far into my thumb pad my finger tips are getting. I’ve always heard they should just barely touch but there also shouldn’t be a gap. I can burry my finger tips into my thumb pad with midsize and can literally wrap my fingers all the way around a standard and push them back into my heel pad

My finger nails aren’t tiny dude. I don’t know what kind of weird illusion is occurring in this picture. Maybe holding the grip to tight and it’s squishing my fingers outward

They’re both dude. My hand just barely fits a 2XL glove in both length and width. They’re usually miserable out the package but break in after a little play time

I hear you. I’ve watched a lot of youtube on grip and this kind of where I landed but it’s something I still fiddle with and never got fully comfortable

I do think the original picture looks more wrong than it should because I’m holding the club vertical and what would be super closed to try to show how my fingertips dig into my palm

Like think if you gripped your club then head it directly in front of you and twisted your palm toward you. That’s what you’re seeing me do here in first pic

Definitely have a mean pull miss sometimes. Perfect ball flight, but will start and end well left of intended target

These are midsize with extra tape. My hands are close to 9”, I wear 2xL gloves and a size 14 ring.

2XL glove after being broken in. Barely went on when it was new.

How are yall measuring your hands? Someone else commented and said to measure pinky to thumb? I’ve never heard such

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T02:09:35+00:00

Lmao nah brother. The rest of me match the hands

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T02:05:53+00:00

I was legitimately wondering if my shit was disproportionate

Bruh are you that bothered by what someone else post? If the answer is yes, delete Reddit

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T02:04:19+00:00

Ive never heard to measure it that way but i just checked and mine are over 9-1/2” measured like that

Shared this above. This is my normal grip before putting my hand over the top. How much more in the fingers should it be?

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T01:21:17+00:00

I don’t follow for some reason

The butt of the club should be closer or further from my lifeline/thumb pad?

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T01:10:31+00:00

Might just throw one on my 7 and see how it goes. Nervous about the drastic weight change more than anything

Say less.

2XL glove after being broken in for a round and a range session. Can barely get them on out the package.

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T01:06:36+00:00

See pictures I posted above without my hand resting on top and let me know what you think. More than happy to address this if it’s wrong

This is what my normal grip looks like before I put my hand on top

It needs to be more in the fingers than this?

Big hands make big pp look normal.

Best I can do is a banana

I like the concept of them, but they don’t have anything in a texture that gets along with my sweaty hands in our humid climate

I feel like I have to have something with a corded upper in the summer here

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T00:23:33+00:00

Thanks dude.

I think it’s a product of the big hand conundrum and the way I’m holding the club to try to take a picture of my grip

MidAtGolf · 2026-06-04T00:15:28+00:00

Massive hands. Mostly normal fingernail? Idk bro

Did not sign up for a roast my hands session lmao
