Golf Grip Size Calculator

Find your perfect golf grip size based on hand measurements, playing style, and preferences. Proper grip size improves feel, control, and overall performance.

Hand Measurements & Preferences

Measure from wrist crease to tip of middle finger

Measure from thumb tip to pinky tip with hand spread wide

How to Measure Your Hands

Hand Length:

Place your hand flat on a surface. Measure from the wrist crease (where your hand bends) to the tip of your middle finger. Use a ruler or measuring tape for accuracy.

Hand Span:

Spread your hand as wide as possible. Measure from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your pinky finger. This measurement helps determine grip circumference needs.

Tips:

Measure both hands and use the larger measurements. Consider having a professional measure you at a golf shop for the most accurate fitting.

Grip Size Impact on Performance

Too Small:

Causes excessive grip pressure, promotes hooks, can lead to hand fatigue and inconsistent ball striking.

Too Large:

Reduces feel and touch, can promote slices, makes it harder to release the club properly through impact.

Proper Fit:

When gripping properly, your middle and ring fingers should just touch your palm. This allows for optimal grip pressure and club control.
