Knowing what size grip you need is something that most ordinary golfers don't think about. If you are a golfer with average-sized hands and wear Medium-sized golf gloves, and if you have not changed the grips on your clubs since you bought them, then you are probably already using the proper Standard grip.
If there's one thing good about being average, it's that you usually don't have to customize or make modifications to standard equipment. Club and equipment manufacturers are building clubs and equipment mostly to an average specification, because they know average people are their primary customers. It's a bit like clothing or shoes. Standard sizes will fit most people, but then there are especially big and tall people, or some people have especially wide or long feet and need something a bit different. Golf clubs are exactly the same, and so are golf grips.
Just in case, though, here's a tip for checking to see if your grip is fitting you right. Wrap your hand around your club, just like you're about to swing it. If your second and third fingers are lightly touching the base of your palm by your thumb, your grip is perfect! If there's a significant amount of space between your fingers and your palm, your grip is too big for you. If your fingers are digging into your palm, your grip is undersized.
If you need to adjust your grip size, you have a few options. One is to use tape to modify the diameter of your grip. If you add a wrap of tape or two to your shaft, you are changing the diameter of your grip by a few fractions of an inch. While this might not seem like much, believe me, it can make a huge difference out on the course. You can also totally re-grip your clubs. Some golf shops or club manufacturers will do this for you, although PURE Grips allows you to do it yourself at a fraction of the cost!
A properly sized grip will benefit your game by making sure that your swing is consistent. A consistent swing will allow you to hit the ball farther and straighter, and avoid slices, hooks, tops and worm-burners. Because you will not be overcompensating for a faulty grip, having the proper grip size will also make sure that you don't pick up any bad habits that will need to be corrected down the line. Give it a shot, check your grip size, get the right grips on your clubs and see how much more consistent your shot pattern becomes.
