The right grip size is crucial for proper hand action and club control. This calculator uses the industry-standard hand measurement method used by Golf Pride and Lamkin to recommend your optimal grip size.
Grip size affects your ability to release the club properly through impact. Grips too small cause overactive hands and hooks, while grips too large restrict hand action causing pushes and slices. The correct grip allows your fingers to just touch your palm when gripping the club.
Grip Measurement Formula
Grip Measurement = Hand Length + Middle Finger LengthCorrect grip size reduces grip pressure, promoting proper release through impact.
Proper grips help eliminate hooks (too small) or slices (too large) caused by incorrect sizing.
Right-sized grips require less grip pressure, reducing hand and forearm fatigue during rounds.
Properly fitted grips promote repeatable hand position and consistent ball striking.
For young golfers with small hands. Under 6" combined measurement. 0.900" diameter.
For smaller adult hands. Women's standard. 6-7" measurement. 0.900" diameter, lighter weight.
Most common size. Fits glove sizes M-ML. 7-8.25" measurement. 0.900" diameter.
Popular choice for arthritis or larger hands. 8.25-9.25" measurement. 0.960" diameter.
For very large hands or those wanting reduced hand action. 9.25"+ measurement. 1.000"+ diameter.
If your fingers dig into your palm when gripping, or you fight a hook, your grips are likely too small. You may also notice excessive grip pressure or hand fatigue.
Yes! Each wrap of masking tape under the grip adds about 1/64" to diameter. 4-8 wraps move up one size. This is cheaper than buying new grips for fine-tuning.
Generally yes, for consistency. Some players use slightly larger grips on woods for stability or smaller on wedges for feel. Experiment to find what works.
Absolutely. Worn grips become slick and smaller in diameter. Replace grips every 40-60 rounds or once per year, whichever comes first. Grip size decreases as rubber wears.
Core size (0.580", 0.600", 0.620") refers to the inner diameter that fits over the shaft. Smaller cores on the same grip create slightly larger outer diameter. Standard is 0.600".
