subject: Evaluating Regular And Oversized Golf Grips [print this page] The best way to evaluate what works best for you is to try both grips. It doesn't hurt to take a few shots with a friends club who uses over-sized and then immediately switch back to regulars. You will know instantaneously what works best for you. Many golfers are starting to use over-sized grips on their woods and regulars on their irons. This is because golfers tend to swing more aggressively with irons than they do with woods. By trying both grips, you will find your liking and hopefully lower your scores.
