The size of your golf grips is one of the most over looked parts of your golf equipment. The wrong size golf grip can cause bad grip pressure resulting in bad shots and costly strokes. While golf grip size is mostly personal preference, here is a size guide based on glove or hand size.

Grips For Golfers with Arthritis
Arthritis makes holding a golf club painful, but the right grip can make a significant difference. Standard grips require more squeezing force than necessary, which puts direct pressure on inflamed joints and makes rounds increasingly uncomfortable. The right grip does two things: it reduces the effort required to hold the club securely, and it absorbs the vibration that travels through the shaft at impact. Both matter when your hands are the problem. Golfers with arthritis should be using softer grips that are midsize or oversize.
