Grip size fail


Recommended Posts

I’m between a rock and a hard place when it comes to my grip. I have big hands with large palms. Super long ring fingers but short pinkies. Glove size cadet XXL. A standard grip built up with 2 wraps feels great at address but will slide around in my fingers during my swing. A jumbo grip is secure during my swing but feels terrible otherwise. What it all boils down to is any grip that feels good to my pinkie feels terrible to my ring finger and vice versa. Any insights on how to handle this situation? I’m open to any suggestions except going to oversized/jumbo. Been there done that and it’s not for me. But I would be willing to change the way I grip the club or my grip strength or anything else. Thanks

I swing righty using an interlock grip and power my swing using the left side of my body. And yes you are right about the right pinky. But my left pinky is critical for feel and control—more so than the other nine fingers, even my left ring finger.

Let me put it another way. If I gorilla glued a lead pipe to my hands it would also feel secure but that doesn’t mean I would want to swing it.
