I don't know why everyone isn't gaming JMX. They're a literal game changer. 

 

I don't get totally fired up about a product very often but these, man. These. 

 

EXACTLY !!!!!!

Well the Tour Series do feel better, tackier, than the Ultralites. I think Jumbomax must have changed the composition of the Polyurethane on the Ultras to a lighter weight as they don't feel the same quality as the Tour Series. To me the Tours have a more tacky leather like feel. 

With me, I just like to feel the weight in my hands...can still feel the clubhead though.

Just a heads up. If anyone is looking for the Ultralites in medium PGA Superstore has them. 

[Caesar's shank]

Has anyone gone from a xl grip to say a medium or large grip and had more success with closing the face?

My strike is really good with the xl but am developing a push cut miss, wondering if a slightly smaller one can retain strike pattern but help with face control.

Hard to answer that without knowing/seeing your swing, but as an educated guess, yes, go down a size or more to help close the face. 

 

These can turn a hook miss into a fade miss with no swing change. Just wish we could get our stock. 🤪

Reporting back. Got the medium and played 3 rounds with it. Strike pattern moved to high heel, yuck. But the XL back on and strike moved back to just toe side of middle so will be staying with that

Why not split the difference and try the large? I just had a similar conversation with myself. I used their fitting tool and it came out to large. Like a few others, I wanted to go all in and try the XL but at the same time wanted to 'play it safe' and try the medium first. So I just ordered what they suggested

[flushem]

as trajectory is way more straighter with jumbomax, I found and corrected my swing flaw.  Now my drives are straight and longer.  so happy.

 

Now I will experiment my driver with heavier and stiffer shaft.  of course, jumbomax installed.

[Lasorcier]

I'll weigh in here on Jumbomax.

 

I wear a medium-large glove generally.  Using the Jumbomax sizing chart, it said I was a small.  So, I started with that and also got a medium to test.  Their sizing chart was pretty accurate, in that the medium felt too large (which for me meant there was too much of a gap between the pad of my thumb and the ring and flip off fingers.  The small was exactly correct in that there is a very small gap.

 

Fast forward, the smalls are on all of my clubs, driver down to the wedges.  I had heard the comments that you can't close the club face, promotes a slice, etc.  But, I find those to not be true.  I find no discernible difference in shot type when I compare the Jumbomax to what I was using before (Tour Velvet +4 midsize plus a few wraps).  I have always thought it to be weird when people use a huge putter grip ostensibly to quiet/relax their hands and because it is more comfortable to not consider that larger grips on their other clubs would get the same benefit.  I am using a super stroke pistol 1.0 gtr (something like that) and the jumbomax is about the same size.  They both confer the same benefit. 

 

My main shot pattern is primarily straight and it still is after I switched.  As a matter of fact, dispersion narrowed considerably with them.  That is because with standard and midsize I would sometimes deathgrip to control the club which caused me to pull or draw.  Once my hands are relaxed on the jumbomax, that stopped immediately.

 

Moreover, I use the tour ones which are supposedly too heavy and goof up swingweight, etc.  I have the them on all clubs and did not make any weight modifications to any of them.  I just don't think it is necessary to do that.  I quickly became used to how the swing felt and it feels better and the hands are so much more comfortable.  Same deal for my putter.  I came from a pingman grip, which I still like, to the superstroke.  I didn't modify my putter in any way after doing that either.

 

As for putting it on the driver, these grips let one really go after it because everything is relaxed and the misses are not as severe. 

 

[SEP1006]

I'll keep saying it. Been using the Jumbomax Ultralights for almost 2 years now and they are a gamechanger. Like the post above, especially for dispersion!!!!

 

I have probably converted now about 10 golfers at my club during this time. They all ask first, "is that a baseball grip?" on your club. Then they pick it up, then ask if they can hit it and then most times it's " this feels really good". 

[cwilk]

I tried these and didn’t get along with them. I felt like my face to path with them was near zero because I saw little curvature in my ball flight, but I hit straight pushes or pulls as misses so it was making me steer the club with my body I guess. They are so light that my swing weight went from D4 to D8 as well which could have been the problem.

my buddy said, "it feels like blood sausage"

[AllShowNoDough]

I ordered 4 Large Ultralite to test out. They just arrived! Now just need to identify which composite shaft I'm going to try first. Got it down to the MMT 105TX (maybe 125), Steelfiber FC115, or Recoil 110 F5. 

[Barfolomew]

tried them and too heavy..... so I play the CP2 jumbo which I love.  But I heard they have a light weight one which I want to try

So I decided against the composite shafts. I think the source of my shoulder and elbows problems were the head and grip combo. I was using standard MCC Plus4s with a couple of wraps of tape with an older Titleist CB after playing R9 TPs with midsize grips for years. So I put the R9s back in and decided to do a grip test. I went with the JMX Ultralite Lg on driver, 4i, 7, and PW. I also grabbed an MCC Plus 4 Jumbo, Lamkin Sonar Jumbo, Winn LT Oversize, a Lamkin Crossline midsize for old times sake, and left a few standards on others. I was a little sore going into today but I haven't experienced any additional irritation since spending 2 hours at the sim. I can comfortably attribute that to the larger grips and fit irons.

 

I really like the way the JMX feels. The Sonar isn't bad but just felt like it was a little slick for me. The Winn felt great but was just too soft. I really wish they didn't change the Crossline. Played my best golf with those. MCC has always been nice to me, I just never played the right size. MCC Plus 4 Jumbo became a favorite today.

 

For me, the large JMX is just too big. Spins rates went way up and I was seeing a full club less distance. The 7 iron with the JMX was producing identical numbers to the 8 iron with the MCC. The 4 iron and driver consistently left the planet. After using the jumbo grips, the clubs with standard grips were straight pull hooks. The 8 iron with MCC produced by far the most consistent results for me today. I prefer the feel of the JMX Ultralite but the weight of the MCC Plus 4 Jumbo and maybe just slightly larger. So my decision comes down to the XS or SM Tour Series. 

 

 

[AllShowNoDough]

So I made a purchase this morning. I was on the Jumbomax website and it was tough to say no to the XS Tours as the one option was $5.99/grip. It's in the green/white/black colorway but that price...

[games]

I have medium originals in my irons, and like the counter-balance effect they produce with the heavier weight.  Also, as others mentioned, I like the tack of the "pro" version I bought in medium from Amazon in pink at roughly half price that I put on some hybrids and backup driver.

 

I have XL Ultralite waiting in the wings for a new iron set I want to build.

[capking]

Has anyone who plays the bigger sizes gone through a fitting since making the switch? It seems like you pretty much have to go to a fitter who can blow grips on with air and bring grips with you. Just wondering if someone has attempted this

I used air for both the Tour's and the Ultralights, no issues with either.

I tried the Ultralite XL but ultimately went with the Tours in XS.  As mentioned above, $5.99 per grip combined with liking the size of the Plus4 Jumbo more is an easy decision. The tours feel a bit more rigid than the others. When you installed the Tours, did you have to increase your PSI at all? I had no problems installing the XL Ultralites with my usual PSI. I attempted last night and had no luck. It was getting late so I turned it off for the night. Thought I would ask before I turned up the pressure. It doesn't seem like the Jumbomax would have the same issues as traditional grips

If I remember correctly I still used 75 psi. I also mix up a little bit of Joy and very little water. Suds it up real good and brush on the handle of the club.

The soap and water is key! Thanks! Needed a little bit of oomph to get it sliding but that worked better than just using grip solvent

I bought the tours also in xs and yes i went to 90 with them and slight twisting.

Good deal. I've never used solvent since swapping to air. Always soapy water and no issues.

What size do you guys recommend? I’m wearing ML glove size (Footjoy) and currently use Tour Velvet Midsize Plus4 but would like to go a little bigger than that, obviously.

I wear an XL glove and tried the Ultralite XLs first. Not a fan personally. While trying those, I also was trying out some MCC Plus4 Jumbos which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Jumbomax XS are other companies Jumbo size (+1/8"). The butt diameter is a little bit bigger on the Jumbomax though. I ultimately went with XS Jumbomax Tours because I was able to get them for $5.99/grip on the Jumbomax website. Buying 13 got me 1 for free. If I had to pay full price, I personally would probably have gone with the MCC Plus 4 Jumbo. Also, being 6'6 and playing overlength clubs, the extra weight of the Tours is nice. Keeps the swing weights down. If you aren't playing overlength, the Ultralites are probably are good choice. That's such a personal thing though that I could never say for sure what you will like
