In our forums, our members have been discussing grip sizes after WRXer ‘golfpros1’ dedicated a thread to find out how to determine the perfect size for your game. ‘Golfpros1’ asks:

• “How did folks determine the grip size and/or the number of wraps they decided to use?
• Do you just keep experimenting until you think it feels good… 3 regrips later (ouch)?
• Do you use your golf glove size as a guide as just go with it?
• Do you measure you hand and fingers and determine a grip size via a generic chart?
• Did you just grab the club off the rack and think, sure, that works?
• How did you pick your grip size and/or # of wraps?”

And our members have been giving their experience and advice on how fellow WRXers can find the ideal grip size for those struggling with the issue.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

• Hawkeye77: “Had standard-sized grips for decades. Tried mid-size once just to try – only cost me two grips on a couple of irons to experiment – no good. Eventually settled on two extra wraps under the right hand, again, tried it but not on a full set and that’s what I’ve done now for many years. Easy to find grips at some golf stores these days and get a feel for sizes. Then it’s like the three bears – know when it’s just right.”
• mjguzik: “Started with what came with the club 10 years ago. After having them regripped and dropping a few dollars figured this can’t be hard. YouTube to the rescue. Settled on 0.580 on 0.600 shafts for several years after trying on two clubs for a bit. Went to mcc plus 4 on my irons last year and not looking back. Still, .58 on .60 shafts for woods unless the shaft is a little larger then pull it 0.75 inches longer. Trial and error until you like it.”
• DaRiz: “Regripping is the easiest clubmaking thing you can do from home, I have always had a bunch of grips and tape lying around. I always thought standard was too thin and midsize was too fat. I just added layers until I got what I like.. +3 on wedges, +2 on everything else. I can see how it would be difficult to experiment if you are paying someone $10 to regrip plus $10 a grip.”
• LeoLeo99: “Some of my clubs are midsize, and some are regular. I feel like I have more control with the midsize but more swing speed with the regular size. Don’t think it makes that much of a difference to my scores.”
• G410Plus: “Blow the grip on with your compressor, try it, if you like it leave it, if not blow it off, adjust the tape and blow it back on. That is what I did to determine my optimal size.”
