Grip Size

The grip is the only part of the club that you have physical contact with. Grip size plays an important part in the golf game.

If your fingers are digging into your palm as you grip the club, chances are you will become too wristy on your golf swing. Majority of your shots will hook. This means, your grips are too small for your hands.

If there is a gap between your fingers (middle and pinkie fingers) and the pad of your hand, your shots will slice. This means that your grips are too big for you.

Bigger grips are good for golfers who have arthritis. Golfers suffering from arthritis need bigger grips to alleviate pain.
