I've been thinking of switching to larger grips for a while. Switching from baseball to golf with grip was a bit of a learning curve for me. What would be a suggestion for say a "trial period"? I've been told to change maybe two grips on my irons as a test run before committing to the full set.
100% put jumbomax XL on all my clubs, wedges feel amazing and driver is like having the fuse to a bomb in my hand, speed and prescision just explodes off my sim2.
doesn't this limit hand speed though? just went through a bunch of lessons and he taught me to close the club face by rotating the hands through impact, and he explained this is where a lot of the club speed comes from. With thicker grips doesn't this limit the rotation? which would lower your club speed and also increase the delivered loft?
This year I went to jumbmax xs on irons and small on metals. (I wear a large Costco Kirkland glove) These are still exceptionally large compared to even an oversize grip from say, GolfPride. After 40+ rounds I would have to say that I am impressed but will be downsizing a little. In the off season I will be going to xs on metals and standard jumbo (1/8) on irons. I will use the largest factory grips on my three Ping wedges.
Like the big guy says, you can grip it lighter but I have lost some face control and feel. I am a 6 handicap btw.
Overall the Jumbomax grips wear extremly well and still have tons of tack. I only wear a glove in high heat. Very Fred Couples of me…

Would recommend to anyone!
Aren't most of the pros going jumbo now too? I've been curious but mainly since I wear XL gloves(big hands)
Feeling the need to justify after your encounter with Mr. Fryer?
