What Size Golf Grip Do I Need?

The grip is the only point of contact you have with the club, so size matters more than most golfers think. Take two quick measurements and we'll point you to the right fit.

Overview

The four golf grip sizes

Golf grips come in four installed sizes. The right one depends on your hand size and how you like to release the club — a larger grip quiets the hands and reduces wrist action, while a smaller grip lets the hands release more freely.

− 1/64″ vs standard

Undersize

Built for smaller hands and many women golfers, or players who want maximum hand release.

Standard

The size most clubs ship with. Fits the widest range of hands — the safe default if you're unsure.

+ 1/16″ vs standard

Midsize

A fit for larger hands, or players who tend to over-grip or strain with a standard grip.

Jumbo / Oversize

The largest option — quiets overactive hands and a common choice for golfers managing arthritis.

Diameter differences are approximate and vary slightly by brand and model. Build-up tape under the grip also raises the installed size — adding layers increases diameter in small increments, so you can fine-tune between sizes.

Inside the grip

Grip core size: .580 vs .600

Core size is the inner diameter of the grip — the hole that slides over the shaft butt — and it's separate from the installed feel size above.

Most golf grips come in either a .600″ (60) or .580″ (58) core, and these match the butt diameter of most golf shafts. Because the difference between them is small, .600 and .580 are often used interchangeably on standard shafts.

Some grips are offered in additional core sizes such as .500″ (50), .560″ (56), or .620″ (62). If you're not sure which core you need, check the shaft manufacturer's site for the butt diameter spec, or shop our .580 core size grips if you know that's your fit. For a deeper look at the two most common cores, see the difference between .58 and .60 round grip sizes.

🎯

Not sure which way to go?

If you fall between two sizes on the chart, let your tendencies decide. Grip the club too tightly, fight a hook, or feel hand and wrist strain? Size up. Want a freer release or feel like the club is "stuck"? Stay standard or size down. You can also start standard and add build-up tape to nudge toward midsize without buying a different grip.

Questions

Golf grip size FAQ

What's the difference between undersize, standard, midsize, and jumbo golf grips?
They describe the installed diameter of the grip. Undersize is about 1/64" smaller than standard, standard is the baseline most clubs ship with, midsize is about 1/16" larger than standard, and jumbo (oversize) is about 1/8" larger. A larger grip tends to quiet the hands and reduce wrist action, while a smaller grip lets the hands release more freely.
How do I measure my hand to find the right golf grip size?
Take two measurements on your lead hand: full hand length from the wrist crease to the tip of your middle finger, and longest finger length from the base of your middle finger to its tip. Match both numbers to the chart on this page to find your recommended size. It's a starting point you can fine-tune by feel.
Which grip size is right for me?
Start with the chart based on your hand measurements, then adjust for feel. If you grip the club tightly, fight a hook, or feel hand or wrist strain, size up. If you want a freer release or feel the club gets stuck, stay standard or size down. Larger hands and players who over-grip often prefer midsize or jumbo.
What's the difference between .580 and .600 grip core sizes?
Core size is the inner diameter of the grip that fits over the shaft butt, and it's separate from the installed feel size. Most grips come in a .600" (60) or .580" (58) core to match common shaft butt diameters, and the two are often used interchangeably on standard shafts because the difference is small. Some grips also come in .500", .560", or .620" cores — check your shaft maker's butt-diameter spec if you're unsure.
Can I adjust grip size without buying a different grip?
Yes. Adding layers of build-up tape under the grip raises the installed diameter in small increments, so you can nudge a standard grip toward midsize feel without changing grips. Keep in mind that once a grip has been installed it's no longer eligible for return, so measure first. If you'd rather not regrip yourself, see our regripping guide.
