How to choose the right golf grip size. Junior grips are ideal for younger players, and many female players prefer an undersize or standard size grip. Jumbo size grips are ideal for players with larger hands or for players who have arthritis.

Should I use undersize grips?

For those wearing a small, women's medium or junior glove, an undersized grip with a smaller diameter will likely be a good option. Medium-sized gloves would typically fit in the standard size range; large and extra-large are better off starting in the midsize to oversized category.

What happens if your golf grips are too small?

If you're playing with grips that are too small for your hands (regardless of your golf glove size), the smaller muscles of the hand and fingers have to work harder, often causing an overactive motion through the ball. In other words, smaller grips can make you handsy and cause you to release the clubhead too quickly.
