How Two Years of GIANT Grips Changed My Golf...

I work in Industrial Maintenance. And after a long day of work and sneaking in a range session my hands were sore. I changed to these grips and after a bit of an adjustment period I love them. No pain after practicing or playing. I understand they aren't for everyone but they help me play more golf and that's a win win.

I’ve played with them for years now. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. The one thing I wasn’t aware of was how heavy some the grips were. It changed my swing weight by a lot. And I played like that for several years. Last year I switched to the light version (which is same weight as standard grips) and it made a world of difference.

Grips are so interesting and are often overlooked! Love the long term review! Thanks Mate!

My wife put oversized winn grips on her clubs as she has issues with carpal tunnel already. They make a huge difference for her. We were travelling a few weeks back and rented clubs with normal grips and she complained about her wrists throughout the round, so it's definitely helpful for people with hand/wrist problems!

I changed to jumbo max because of the arthritis in my hands, and they are remarkable. Total control, and the guys with little hands will have a problem. One bucket of balls at the range and it was heaven. All thanks to you Peter, keep up the great vlogs.👍

I’ve used these for 2 years now and would never go back. I struggled with terrible hand pain after a round and these grips have been transformative. My handicap went from 13 down to 8 as well so something’s working technically too. I don’t really analyse it too much though. I just put it down to feeling confident because I can hit without pain. Thanks for introducing me to the idea of these in the first place Pete.

Absolute positive game changer! Love them! I’m only 5’8. More distance, more feel and no more wrist pain. As a former tennis player its a god send!

I started up golfing back in 2022, at 43yrs of age. I also did play from age 14-22 off and on. Last year I caught the golfing bug in a big way and got fitted for irons and driver. I was then asked about grip, to which I had no reply. So the tech/fitter checked me out and instantly told me to go MIDSIZE, and so I had all my clubs regripped before ever using them. (PING G430). I cannot believe the difference it has made. Instantly giving me club head control and even allowing me some more swing speed. I have even considered a OVERSIZED grip for my driver. I went with a WINN Dri-Tac oversized for my driver, and I cannot describe in words the effect. It can only be felt and seen in the ball striking improvements im making. Grips are a super huge important part of the whole enchilada, it cannot be overlooked, or disregarded. Get what you fit into and what your fingers and palms like.

I went from standard to midsize and have had massive improvements

I've done club assembly for a hobby and I experimented with oversized grips just to see whether they would be more comfortable. They were comfortable but I had problems releasing the club and tended to block the shot to right. I had to make swing adjustments and really struggled to shape shots with the oversized grips. Most of my friends that tried them had similar issues. They do help people with arthritis in their hands and other pain. Good to know they are helping with your hand pain. Thanks for sharing!

Pete I have also struggled with wrist/hand pain, to the point of having to quit all together for 9 months now. Im a 6 hdcp and I really miss it. Im sure a lot of us would really love to hear a deeper explanation of what injuries you had and what part of the swing caused it. Grip pressure? Angle of attack? Anyway, love the vid and def considering these now.

I swapped to the larger grips about a year ago and I haven't looked back. My miss tended to be a bit of a hook and after getting use to the size difference in the grips, my ball striking has been so much better! I didnt go as large as you, I ended up with the Tour Series Standard Oversize grips as the larger ones were just a bit "too much" for me. Loving the content Pete, keep it up!

Used to play cricket and using bigger grips would be way better for control and feel (Even double/ triple grips). I've only just started and watched Bryson as you did use them and genuinely feel like bigger grips are a much better way to play. Tempted to change my Golf Bidder clubs to them. Another idea, that we changed using hockey grips on our bats and they're great. Might try that first.

I'm definitely thinking about going to a bigger grip! Thanks for the insight and honesty. Maybe I'll do an old set of irons and see if I like it

When I retired 5 years ago I went to Jumbo grips as I was struggling gripping the club due to arthritis & I’ve stuck with them thru club changes. Made a big difference to my enjoyment of the game

Interesting about the gripping in the palm versus the fingers. I started working on my grip 2 seasons ago and fully went away from gripping it in the palm. I don't feel like it changed a lot in my swing except that I was now more aware of how I was gripping it and it makes my setup a little more consistent. Now I have to try switching back and forth at the range and see about this "holding it off more" business. As for the grip size, I'm perfectly happy and comfortable with my standard-sized grips and don't suffer from any hand or wrist pain. I did for one season but it was something to do with something that completely changed in my swing overnight that had me hitting down hard on the ball and shanking, and I practiced on mats. Thankfully, that sorted itself out in a couple range sessions.

They are a life saver for me. I work in construction and it makes a huge difference in wrist, elbow and shoulder pain. I use the S8tech XS. I started with my wedges and driver. There is a short learning curve but once you get used to them, you will never go back.

I love these grips, as I have arthritis in both hands and wrists, and I feel that they have helped massively.

I have been getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my left hand (play right handed) lately and getting a shock of numbness in my hand during the backswing. Your video is well timed to get me to think this from the grip size perspective. I'm happy to hear it helped you and thank you for your video.

I just swapped my iron grips out recently from standard to +4 golf pride grips as I had one of my Volkey wedge and really liked it... I noticed a def improvement in confidence and consistent ball striking. They allow me not to have a death grip on the club as I do have quite large hands and felt that I was "hanging" on to the slimmer profile grip. Now my right hand can be more of a guide than holding on. I feel that the larger grip added a bit more swing weight to the irons allowing to hit more down on the ball and it also smoothed out my tempo and rhythm and actually swing a bit easier and smoother while still maintaining swing speed. Not tested with any sort of swing software but I've been playing golf for quite a long time and I really enjoy the change. I also have a larger +4 grip on my driver that I've had for years and I've loved how that has helped me swing more neutral.
