Golf Grip Sizes EXPLAINED: Standard, Midsize, Jumbo, Plus4

Golf grip size does a lot more than change how the club feels — it changes swing weight, face angle at impact, and where you strike it.
We break down standard, midsize, jumbo and Jumbo Max, what Plus4 actually means, plus grip materials, brands and what they really cost.
Stick around for the ball-striking test at 8:13 — we caught the face 3.7 degrees closed on one grip, and on the biggest grips it was almost impossible to turn over.

Alex and Tayte go through the full grip lineup and why grips are the most slept-on part of your equipment. We explain what Plus4 really means (less taper and a fuller lower hand, roughly four extra wraps of tape) and cover grip materials — tacky rubber, full cord, and multi-material MCC grips — plus why an Align style rib helps you place your hands the same way every single time. At 2:32 we put a club on the swing weight scale: a standard grip reads D5, a midsize Plus4 reads D1.7, three full swing weights from nothing but a grip change. At 6:32 we get into cost, from $4-$6 Tour Velvet style grips up to around $14 for Align Max, and what that gap adds up to across 13 clubs. Then we hit balls — Alex fights a left miss, and the bigger the grip got, the harder it was to turn the face over. Between the shop and our own bags we've had hands on well over 70 different grips over the years, and if you're slicing or hooking it, your grips might be part of the problem.
