Help with grip sizing needed
Okay clubfitters, I've got a question. The grips on my irons feel small. I feel like I'm having to "squeeze" them to keep a good grip. To the best of my knowlege, they are standard size Golf Pride Velvet grips. My woods are feeling the same way now too, and they are standard size Winn G8's.
I've been practicing with a set of irons that have leather grips on them. I've measured them, and they are .060" larger than the grips on my other clubs. I don't tend to hook these as much as I do the set I play, but I'd put the blame for that on less offset.
Now for the question. Is it likely (sp?) that I need larger grips? My hands aren't that large. When I wore a glove, it was the cadet XL size because of my short fingers.

Its all up to you......if you like them...get them, but they def wont make you hook them as much since it is harder to get your hands turned over as easy, but I'd try it

I dont hand very big hands but i have long skinny fingers so i have mid-size player soffties.If you've got short fingers,bigger grips arent exactly the norm but its all up to you & how you feel with the club in hand,like i said,i dont hand hands that would generaly require a bigger grip but thats how i like them :)

Take hold of your current club with your glove on. If your fingers dig too much into your hand below the thumb, then your grips are probably too small. You should never feel like you have to struggle to hold on to your club during the swing.

Lamkin Grips website has a grip sizing wizard where you can print out an outline of a hand with various grip sizes on it. It is a good start.
