 So the question in today's video is a very very simple one and I'm going to find out whether not jumbo grips or a help or a Hindrance when it comes to wedge plate now I've tested these grips out on seven iron on fairy woods and on driver also But lots of you commented that I should try them on wedges And I'm going to find out what they do how they affect my swing and like I said earlier to the help Or do the hinder will soon find out I suppose So first up or next up rather is a little bit of a chip and run shot. I've got a 54 degree wedge So things are going to be a little bit different than Then what I'd probably play with if we had these grips on a variety of my wedges But like I said 54 is all I've got we'll try another one. The first thing you notice is The hands are taken out of the equation quite noticeably And again got that probably not got quite enough on that again But the interesting thing like I said kills the hands you notice that straight away any sort of Idea that you want to sort of flip their head Which is very much a lot of us as average golfers Want to throw sort of help the ball along if you like which can be a common fault in our wedge plate And what the jumbo grip does it doesn't eliminate it totally don't get me wrong You can do that but it makes it puts up a resistance and it makes it a lot more difficult to do that So in that instance of this sort of in and around the green area I'd say that that's a massive bonus for a lot of us So this one interests me because I think this is the the problem where I have or the area where I have less of an issue With the idea of the grip if that makes sense Let's start you the way around I'm worried about the field shots that you lose feel in and around the green That's the bit that I'm a little scared of and we'll see if that is rings true or not But for this type of shot would you effectively it's not quite a full shot I don't have an issue like I said with the when I did the seven iron review. It's kind of Neutralized ball flight, and I'm hoping it'll do exactly the same with the wedge as well All do you know if it doesn't feel weird this time round whereas When I first put the grip on the driver such an odd feeling But I'm okay with this and I'm relatively comfortable That's gonna be short I think That's not too bad. It was right online and again, that's the interesting bit. I mean generally my Bad shot with wedges that I've got a sort of the tendency sort of to turn it over and still or maybe pull it Just a little bit down that left-hand side and yet again You'll see that ball flight was straight at the flag. So that's an encouraging start Distance control perhaps wasn't quite there was that just purely down to my swing which and an Understanding of the yardage with this clubbing and I think it probably was and got nothing to do with the actual grip So on that shot there, I was still impressed, you know There's another interesting wedge into the flag which is straight at it And that's the bit that is Without doubt a key feature and I keep on saying I'm gonna keep on repeating It's the bit that I never understand this time. Well, I cannot understand it I understand it takes the hands out of it, but I can't believe how much it does to that You'll see the shots that are going over now that again, these are all shots that don't go left There's plenty of options to do all the things With this club, but going left is really not one of them. It's very difficult to turn that ball over It's very difficult to get handsy with it. And again, I say from the previous clip That's the bit that keeps on surprising me and that's the real positive for most average golfers It's so easy to get flippy with those hands with those wedge shots even in the full shots as well but Every time I do these reviews with these jumbo grips on I'm left with more sort of questions than answers, I suppose or at least I don't give you the answers That's perhaps you're looking for because I've got no explanation Well, I do know when I said to Hannah off-camera just a second or two ago. There's something in these grips There is no doubt about it that Eliminates ball flight Tendencies and get that ball going straighter. That's something I can without doubt confirm Right, so next up really is the question I asked earlier on the video is when you sort of got the sort of A more of what I call a bit of a field shot Does it kind of does the larger grip eliminate that from the equation and that's what worries me I mean, I played some shorter chips earlier on And I have to admit It wasn't too bad at all, but I'm just sort of finding this kind of Almost I want to throw this ball up in the air Ironically, I want to put a bit of wrist in there and it doesn't allow me to do it I don't know if I like that or not I'm going to try that again. That's actually worked out. Okay, but I must admit I got it a little bit heavy It's probably not the shot that I intended to play. So is that kind of a logic as to why that might have been the case We'll try it again. Anyway I once again sort of dug in and down on that just a little bit more than I'd have intended to I'm going to try that shot again on another hole But it's the one negative I've got of having it on the wedges and the one that I was concerned about in the first instance was I don't know just to be able to manipulate that club head And maybe that's a negative. Maybe that's that's the problem. Maybe you shouldn't be doing that But I just feel like I've just not got quite controlled enough Of that club head and I'm a sort of I am a player a sort of handsy player as well A bit of a field player and again very much reliant on sort of Understanding where that club head is throughout my swing And I'm not saying that's a positive. That's possibly even a negative of the way I play the game of golf But just in and around these areas That's the bit. I just find it just a little bit clumsome really personal thing maybe Ah, okay, so that could even go in That's a real that's what just switched to that shot there. So to try another one and um, we had There's a lot better in terms of execution maybe from my shot. So not as bad down there Actually choked down the grip a little bit though to play it and obviously it tapers off a little bit So it was a little bit more Normal in the hand down that bottom end of the grip. So whether or not that was something but easy enough to pop that ball up and uh Yeah, execute the shot a little bit better on that occasion Well, of course, we can't do the review without uh, trying a bunker shot because at 54 degrees It's certainly a club that I'd be looking to play uh, a bunker shot with and again This is similar to that sort of chip that we're looking to Well, maybe use those hands a little bit and certainly the way I play a bunker shot is but let's see how we get on Well, there's nothing wrong with that I'd take that any day of the week in terms of where that's finished, but again really really Uh, I think it's a case of almost When I played the shots earlier that I said I was a bit negative towards it I think you've got to really relax the hands a little bit. Everything just gets a little bit Uh It's a little bit alien in terms of the grip so obviously getting used to it But those last two shots I've played was just like a free swing that I'd normally hit with the normal grip And I know that sounds uh The logical thing to have done anyway But for some reason just having that sort of wider grip on like I said, it takes a little bit of getting used to But it's certainly Yeah I swing between kind of being so majorly positive and then sort of fighting to death of them at the same time I think so just to clarify that point um about being frightened to death of them The point I was trying to make is that if you do watch the channel a lot You'll know I was very positive towards them using seven iron fairway wood and driver I really did found performance benefits And if you look in my bag, you'll not see any jumbo grip on any of the clubs that I'm using So the question you should be asking is well, if they're that good, why haven't you got them on? And it's a very valid one and what I'm asking myself as I'm asking yours I'm trying to tell you or explain to you as well because often With a lot of these videos, I do say don't sort of you know practice what you preach on because there's a lot of information I relate to Viewers and suggest it's a great idea But don't necessarily replicate that in my bag and this being a case the logic I would give is that I found that by having it on one or two clubs It was very strange to go from hitting a driver to then hitting an iron that doesn't have a jumbo grip on So in my opinion It was something you need to go right the way throughout the bag with And the only bit that I don't understand with that if that's the way you were going to and and quite possibly from a performance fact That I would do that The only negative is and this is not even a joke is how do you fit 14 of these things in a bag? Because they just do not fit in a bag once you've got three or four of them on Even getting those three or four out of the bottom of your carrier bag is nigh on impossible So I think someone out there if these become popular needs to start designing some bigger bags that accommodate jumbo grips That's the reason why they're not in my bag or on my golf clubs That's another ball straight at the flag to finish could be a bit long Or it's a bit long. It's over the flag But the main point being and Hannah said how are we going to finish this video? And I think we're going to finish it like like I said pretty much in the last point that I'm confused because my overall feeling about the The question was are these Good or bad in terms of wedge plate I'd say probably I'm 90% sure that they are good. I think that Certainly from a distance and full shots The idea to be able to flip them and move them over to the left hand side Just haven't done it throughout the whole video And we've played a number of shots now from in around this sort of full swing distance and it just it doesn't happen So that's a real real positive And the only negative I would have had like I said was just that sort of feel element in around the greens And I almost feel like that is just something that you will sort of get used to in the more and more you play with And this is literally the first time I've had this club out of the bag and hit the very first shot earlier on this morning So in terms of playing with a little bit more, I'm sure you get used to it The thing is like I said, if you've got it on your 54, you've got to have it on the rest of your wedges You've got to have your pitching wedge and that's the big issue for me Are you prepared to go sort of all in and fully Commit jumbo grips my own feeling as opposed as I'm talking and giving you the answer is that I think that the state that I would make or the step I would make is to maybe look at putting sort of Four layers of tape under my grips and maybe gradually sort of progress that way. That'd be something I'd be really interested in trying on throughout the bag and that's something that we may look to do in the future. Anyway As ever not the best of reviews because I sort of learned as I went and tried to relay that information to you So maybe you've been using these longer than I have. Let me know what you think Have you been using them on wedges and has it been a good idea for you or not? Right? Thank you for watching. Thank you to card and part for having us again this morning It's been a lovely morning and I will see you all very very soon
