What golf grip is best for small hands?
For younger golfers or players with extremely small or weak hands, I suggest the baseball grip. It’s easier for them to get their small hands around the shaft and also gives most of them an easier time returning the clubface back to square.
What happens if a grip is too small for the golfers hands?
If you’re playing with grips that are too small for your hands (regardless of your golf glove size), the smaller muscles of the hand and fingers have to work harder, often causing an overactive motion through the ball. In other words, smaller grips can make you handsy and cause you to release the clubhead too quickly.
Do golf jumbo grips help with small hands?
Oversized putter grips are good for people that have small hands as well. In a putting stroke, you want to eliminate all wrist action. The only issue with the extra-large grip on the putter is that some people say that it makes them feel as though they lost a bit of their feel on the putting greens.
