Golf grips – the key to more control & feel
The grip is your only connection to the racket – it influences control, precision, and comfort . A suitable grip improves your game, while a worn one reduces consistency and confidence.
Why are the right golf grips so important?
- ✅ Better control & consistency – stable hand position, reproducible swings.
- ✅ More feeling & comfort – relieves hands and joints.
- ✅ Grip in all weather conditions – materials for dry & wet conditions.
- ✅ Fewer misgrips – fresh grips prevent hand slippage.
💡 Tip: In our golf shop in Münster you will find a large selection of golf grips – for new and used clubs, including professional grip replacement.
Grip thickness & size selection – how to find your grip
The correct grip size affects striking control and feel. Hand circumference (measured across the palm at knuckle level) and hand length (wrist to tip of the middle finger) provide guidance.
| Hand circumference (approx.) | Hand length (approx.) | Recommended grip size | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 17.5 cm | < 17 cm | Undersize / Junior | Small hands, junior players |
| 17.5 – 19.0 cm | 17 – 19 cm | standard | Most players |
| 19.0 – 20.5 cm | 19 – 20.5 cm | Midsize | Larger hands, more stability |
| > 20.5 cm | > 20.5 cm | Jumbo / Oversize | Maximum damping, less hand rotation |
Note: These figures are guidelines only. Grip choice also depends on swing style, grip pressure, and personal feel. We're happy to advise you in person.
