The proper grip size on your golf clubs can make a big difference in the quality of your game. According to golfspyder.com, a grip that is too small can lead to twisting of the golf club in your hands, and a grip that is too large can lead you to lose your grip upon impact. In most cases, grip sizing is standard and simple to determine. However, if you have a grip or swing that is not standard, you may want to consult a professional who will be able to size your grip based on your individual needs.
Step 1
Use the size of your hand to determine your grip size. The easiest way to do this is to check the size of your golf glove and then consult a chart, such as the one at golfpride.com. Most women's sizes fall in the junior/undersize grip range, and most men's sizes fall in the standard/midsize range. There is also a jumbo size for those with very large grips.
Step 2
Check your finger alignment. Grip your club the way you normally would when preparing to take a swing. Your middle and ring fingers should be just slightly touching your palm near your thumb. Space between your fingers and palm, or not enough space signifies that your grip is too large or too small.
Step 3
Choose the correct grip core size for your shaft's outside diameter. An ill-fitting grip core could cause your grip size to differ from what you originally wanted.
