I'm a software developer and golf enthusiast. I built this calculator to help golfers find their ideal grip size for improved comfort and control.
Understanding Golf Grip Size
Your golf grip size directly affects your shot shape, consistency, and comfort. Using the wrong grip size can cause hooks, slices, and hand fatigue—regardless of your swing technique.
This calculator determines your ideal grip size based on hand measurement or glove size, helping you achieve better control and more consistent ball striking.
How Grip Size Affects Your Game
Grip Too Small:
- Fingers wrap around and dig into palm
- Excessive hand action through impact
- Tendency to hook (close clubface)
- Hand fatigue during rounds
Grip Too Large:
- Difficult to feel the club properly
- Restricted hand release
- Tendency to slice (open clubface)
- Loss of distance and control
How to Measure Your Hand
The most accurate method is measuring from the tip of your middle finger to the base crease of your wrist (where your hand meets your wrist).
- Stand with your dominant hand relaxed at your side
- Lay your hand flat, palm facing up
- Measure from middle fingertip to wrist crease
- Record measurement in inches or centimeters
Grip Size Chart
| Hand Measurement | Glove Size | Grip Size |
|---|---|---|
| Under 6.75" (17 cm) | XS - Small | Undersize |
| 6.75" - 7.75" (17-20 cm) | Small - Medium | Standard |
| 7.75" - 8.75" (20-22 cm) | M/L - Large | Midsize |
| 8.75" - 9.25" (22-24 cm) | L/XL - XL | Oversize |
| Over 9.25" (24+ cm) | XXL+ | Jumbo |
The Correct Grip Feel
When holding a club with the correct grip size, your middle two fingers should just barely touch your palm. There should be no gap, and fingers shouldn't dig in excessively.
Special Considerations:
- Arthritis: Larger grips reduce hand strain and improve comfort
- Fighting hooks: Consider going up one grip size
- Fighting slices: Consider going down one grip size
- Wedges: Some players prefer slightly smaller wedge grips for feel
Note: While this calculator provides accurate recommendations, professional club fitting can account for additional factors like grip texture preference and swing characteristics.
