Tip: if the top hand feels crowded, move one step thicker; if release feels sluggish, move one step thinner.
Tip: cadence and glove cut matter as much as diameter when you choose the final build.

Grip Types
A golf club grip is the foundation of a golf swing. The size of a golf club grip will determine how a persons holds the club. Many golfers believe that there golf shots are inconsistent due to their tempo or the way that they aligns with the hole.
However, their shots may be inconsistent due to their grip on the club having the incorrect size. If the grip is too thin, the hands must work to hold the club. However, if the grip is too thick, the release of the club will lag, and a lag in the release of the club will cause the golfer to lose distance with their drives.
How to Find the Right Golf Grip Size
In order to find the correct grip size for the individual’s clubs, the person must measure the size of their hand span. The hand span will give the person a baseline measurement for the size of their grip. This will allow them to determine if they need a standard, midsize, or undersized grip for their clubs.
Additionally, the size of their glove is another factor in determining their grip size. The size of the glove will determine how much space their finger will occupy on the grip of the club. In order to determine their hand span, the person will use a ruler to measure from the tip of their thumb to the tip of their pinky.
Additionally, the person should measure the length of their middle finger because the length of their middle finger will impact their grip for clubs with an overlap grip. Furthermore, the person should check the gap between their fingers and the club grip. The gap between the fingers and the club grip will indicate whether or not their club grip needs more build.
Lastly, the diameter of the butt of the club shaft will impact the size of the club grip. The thicker the shaft, the more tape will be required for the grip to be balanced. Build tape can be used to change the thickness of the grip on the clubs.
One wrap of build tape will add thickness to the club without significantly adding to the weight of the club. Additionally, one wrap of build tape will make the club feel as though it is a midsize club. Two wraps will provide a feeling of a thicker club grip which can help mute the action of the hand for golfers who struggle with slice.
However, the build tape will interact with the size of the club grips core. A club with a 0.58-inch grip will feel quicker than a club with a 0.60-inch grip, for instance. The weight of the golf club grip will also impact the way that an individual swing their club.
A 50-gram grip will provide a quick snap with the club, while a 58-gram grip will provide cushioned stability. Thus, the weight of the club will impact the tempo of the individual. However, it is also necessary to measure both the lead and trail hand of the clubs.
If the lead hand’s fingers are too close together, it will create tension in the individual’s arm. Many individuals make mistake when selecting the grip for their clubs. One of the mistake is ignoring the size of the top hand.
Another mistake is relying upon the size of the glove to determine the size of the grip for their clubs. If an individual has a glove that is relatively snug, it may mask the fact that their club grip is too thin. This will become more apparent when they are sweating during a round of golf.
Additionally, many individuals wait until they experience a problem with their clubs to replace the grip on their clubs. The person should replace the grip every six month so that the rubber doesnt wear down with time. When the rubber wears down, a midsize club will feel like a standard club.
There are different method for building clubs to achieve specific results. A standard club grip will have zero wrap of build tape. One wrap of build tape can be used to thicken the grip of clubs for those who need more control over their clubs.
Additionally, the person can swap the core of the clubs. If an individual uses a smaller core for the clubs, they will gain more speed with their clubs. However, a larger club core will allow individuals to control their clubs more better.
Finally, the person can select the weight of clubs to match the tempo of an individual’s swing. A lighter club grip will be used for those with fast swings, while a heavier club grip will be used for those who have smooth swings in their drives. Environmental factor will impact club grip.
For instance, humidity will make the rubber of the clubs expand, while dry air will make the rubber of the clubs shrink. Additionally, individuals should always test their clubs on the golf course instead of the practice range. This is due to the adrenaline that will affect the pressure that they apply to their clubs.
Finally, when changing clubs, individuals should regrip all clubs at the same time. For instance, if an individual has a different size grip for their irons as compared to their driver clubs, they will feel inconsistency in their clubs.
