Any Love For JumboMax Grips?

Rickochet · 2021-07-13T14:07:06+00:00

I have played oversize grips for many years, mainly Winn Excel Jumbos. Then went to the DriTac then DriTac LT. I am always looking for a better mouse trap...

I prefer the jumbo grips from Golf Pride. Jumbomax are a little bit too soft for my taste.

azgreg I blew one onto my driver Sunday before I played. Probably should have left my driver alone, yet I had to try it. It felt good, and definitely fills my hands.

Do you think it was a coincidence that you sliced everything after the grip change?

Spuzz I didn't slice everything. However, in hindsight, I'm sure I should have let it be until after that round, and installed it later and then hit the range.
Although, im not sure that would have helped much. I need to play courses that require my driver more than I do. I dont use it at my little course.

Been using these for over a year and I'll never go back to a standard style grip again.
I play more golf now than I ever have, these grips show absolutely no signs of wear and
my hands don't get sore like they used too.
They do feel/look a little strange at first,but once you get past that stage it's pretty much game on!

Also what I've found is buying directly from JumboMax usually garners the best prices.

That's the same price I paid at Golf Galaxy last night.

darpar I bet if you had a whole set they'd be a real bitch getting them in and out of the bag.

You are correct, I did have to get bigger bag! LOL

Unless you can drive it over every green, you should use it all the time, until you are confident with it, imo. That's how I learned to swing away. Try it sometime.
I play a short course too sometimes and I vary my clubs off the tee depending on my mood, or what clubs I am testing. Sometimes it's driver all day when in reality, it's only needed maybe twice over 18 holes. I don't give a shit about my score, so there's that too.

Other than hand size which would be true for any grip.....The whole thing with jumbo grips from a usage and fitting perspective is do you use a grip where the grip is in your palms more or in your fingers. And another fitting perspective are you double plane or single plane. I see single planers get more use out of larger grips as most would have the grip more in the palms.

One other area that most don't consider are you a golfer that has more tension in your wrists use you lower body and turn with more locked wrists. The large grips in your palms would appeal to you.

All this stuff is individual and like all fitting of golf equipment is personal and it's never a one size fits all. Though equipment manufacturers would put all of their stuff in one bucket and have you believe oh hell yes Bryson uses JumboMax you should to though they don't go into why Bryson is using Jumbo grips with his single plane swing.

Spuzz Expectations vary so that also skews how golfers play. As one gets older expectations change.

Personality I play a game with myself and count great center face impacts and go over in my mind a round and remember the great center face impacts vs. crappy impacts. Plus with the huge jumbo 460cc driver heads how many times are you really hitting the center of the face? 25% maybe a lil more? Try using a 200cc driver head and see what happens. LOL

Expectations! ☺

True.
However, I've been doing the same thing regarding my driver, short course, experimentation and expectations for over 30 years. lol
In regards to Walter, he's never going to up his driver game by staying on the range, or by leaving it in the bag just because he's on a short course, or, by being score focused.
He's setting himself up for failure when he gets to a long course, imo.

Anyway, putting a fatter grip on his driver just before the long course (and slicing it more) didn't help. I brought it up only because a fat grip can be a cause of extra slice.

You can get a 10% discount and free shipping on a whole set from JM.

Sam Snead had the handle in his fingers. Good explanation.

I only bought one. We'll see after a few range sessions.

Spuzz I've had a fantastic power fade since I started, it's about a 300 yard drive. 150 forward, 150 to the right! That is my "favorite" miss...
Or at least most common. I'm not 100 percent on the grip alignment, so I might see about adjusting that at some point.

Best way to start

@customgolfcenter plays them

I know he is compensating with a large grip for other deficiencies, but maybe he will chime in
