Grip diameter Titleist vs png

Compared to eachother, yes. May need an extra wrap of tape with the "white" grips on a .600 shaft. However, in case you didn't know, the "white" grips are ribbed.

David,

A derivative question for you....I have arthritis in my right hand (first and second knuckles) and through the course of a season it flares up from time to time and makes gripping the club a little painful and difficult.  I have small hands, so I currently use standard size new decade grips.  I'm thinking about trying a midsize grip on one clubs to see how it works, but I recall reading something years ago about how the size of the grip can affect the swing (but I can' really remember what the article said).  As a fitter, can you offer some insight on how the size of the grip can affect a persons swing (in this case slightly over normal size)?

Thanks,

Barry

Hi David, 

The size of the grip certainly effects feel. However, as a fitter, I have not found any quantifiable effect of grip size on swing dynamics. I know many people believe a larger grip reduces release, and vice versa, but I have yet to see any evidence that it is a drastic change. 

I would recommend trying the mid size grips to see if they help with your arthritis. 

Hope this helps.

I THINK that Bub's meant to address that to you, Barry.

You are right, David. Thanks!

Bubba and David,

Thanks for the information!  Since I have two sets of irons I will try the larger grip on one club from the older set to see how it feels.

Thanks again,

Barry

You're welcome, Barry. Anytime. Let us know how things work out.
