Love the little cutaway showing the grip change and swing weight check. I'd like to see more club building related stuff.
yea the cinematography on that cutaway was pretty sick
same here, always been a tech 🤓
Additional cameras and angles are awesome.
One of my favorite additions to the recent videos. Little behind the scenes feel.
woah, i cant stress enough how awesome the behind the scenes shots for the club tinkering were. really hope we see more of those in future videos.
Absolutely love the new camera stuff where we can see a little bit more!
OMG the walk through the shop for the grip change! You guys are always looking to improve, that is why you are and will remain the best.
As other people have mentioned, it would nice to see this test done on fairway woods and drivers :) I can't remember seeing other people doing so in depth tests, it is truly amazing content you have on your channel.
I just saw an ad for these on Facebook the other day and thought I wonder if these actually work.
TXG coming in clutch haha!
Great video gentlemen! Great concept! I loved the camera work in this one and the fact the we got to see the workshop.
I usually play jumbo grips in my wedges and oversized in my irons. It definitely helps with my consistency. I just down sized from jumbo to tour standard on my driver as i was not getting the face to close.
adding video of you going back into the build area is gold. Keep up the additional angles and footage.
Love the new camera angles, very professional, and really cool to see a bit of the build shop
Always enjoy the content. The walk over and production use of the additional trailing camera is a really nice touch. Typically that happens off camera and is a cut it. The continuation of the conversation and work being done at the same time was a really nice touch. "Walks away to order jumbo grips..."
This old vid popped up on my suggested playlist this morning, it was so good to see Matty hitting Balls👍
I hope that his recovery is going well and I'm sure that all the TXG community are looking forward to his return👍
The shots of you guys working in the shop-just epic lol. Such quality. Great job, Matt.
You guys are absolutely slaying it, Loving you content at the moment, it's what I wish I could do with my channel! For now I'll do my best reviewing golf shoes and tech from my average golfer's perspective!... and the little walk away section was nicely done :)
So excited to watch this as I just got an ad from them in my IG feed. You read my mind!
I changed my grips 3 weeks ago to Golf Pride CP2 Jumbo oversize and they have helped reduce my hook. I found the JumboMax Ultralites to be expensive with the Canada/US exchange rate and shipping. The new camera angles are great.
I asked this question a couple of months ago, Glad to see you guys testing it!
I just changed my grips to Jumbomax Ultralite M and absolutely love them. You can really feel the face being maintained square for a longer period from the downswing to impact.
As I only played two rounds with them I still do push the ball occasionally, but even this is a welcomed change for me because all my miss before the grip change were pull and hooks.
Thanks for the great video as always, and also for verifying that my impression wasn't just placebo.
That behind the scenes to the build camera shot was SO COOL
Cinematography jumped leaps and bounds here fellas. Well done to you and your crew. Vids have always been quality, now they're cinematic.
My gosh boys, the production value of handheld/follow cam looks great. Grading, color profile, and lighting are a bit of a jarring change (almost seems more cinematic than the harsher lighting of the bay) but still great production value, different POV, showing more of the process and more of your personalities too. Keep up the awesome work!
I use JumboMax Ultralite grips (small) and absolutely love the feel. Ball striking has become more consistent as well, from driver to wedges.
Loving the new video formats! I didn't think you guys could make it any better, but you have.
I love the walking through the office and changing the clubs!
Don't underestimate the grip! Same results I got from putting the medium on my driver. Unusually straight for me. Was odd playing from so many fairways.
I’ve noticed over the last month or so you guys have experimented with using different camera angles and seemingly higher camera quality. It really looks good
I've had them for 2 years now and love them. I squeeze into a large glove and struggled to get comfortable with a standard grip. Now I focus more on the shot and don't even think about the grip anymore. Saves me a handful of shots per round.
Wow eye opening video for me I never thought about changing grip size deff worth a shot! Thanks! Also I know Matt’s a humble guy but it would be cool to see like a 5-10 min video of him working on his new drills hitting shots and talking us through it, we’d all take that swing in a heartbeat 👍
Drop one of these on your pitching or gap wedge and you'll never go back. Grip one of these with a 5 finger or "Baseball" grip and watch the smile creep over your face. Love them, love them! Much easier on the hands as well.
I am fodder, was wondering about that. I use a large sized glove so...yeah it kinda makes sense. Used to regroup my own clubs and the ultra lights didn't exist then. It really did mess up the swing weights as I recall. So this is exciting to not have to worry about that.
Absolutely. I’m hitting every green 120-145 yards with my wedge now, not even a problem!
Switched to the jumbomax ultralight a few months ago. It really helped prevent my left miss and strike the ball more consistently. There's also an added bonus of making the club feel more like a hockey stick. As a lifelong hockey player that is awesome.
So definitely need to see how this Jumbo series effects the ball flight on Fairways/Drivers!!
Ross Danaher I have jumbo golf pride Grips on my irons and love them. Tried them on my driver and fairways and it was a disaster. Not sure why but I think because the grips are so much heavier that they really throw the weight off on a longer lighter club. Curious how these lighter ones would perform.
PLEASE DO THE DRIVER!!!!!
@kourt you could do the the ultralite maybe
Maybe you can get a tester in there who has extra large size gloves like myself. I think it may help us better
I bought a slightly used set of Srixon Z585 irons with jumbo grips with the intent to replace them with smaller grips. I took the clubs to the range and thought I try them before hand. They worked exactly like you described in your video. I have no intention of changing grips. Straight, longer, and less wear on my hands. They work.
Camera angles and information were on point. This channel is amazing
Love the new video formating. Great work guys.
Guys i LOVED to see the backstage and the club building! You could do it more often
Ha! Just had this installed on my driver today! Excited to try it and see how it goes.
Great camera additions. I love seeing more of the shop.
Loved this guys.... Bought my two sizes of jumbo maxes in 2017.......didn't have time to test. Cheers for your proofing...
I am 6'3" and wear an XL glove. I switched to the JumboMax XL over the past month, and have picked up 20 metres distance per club. I would never go back to the mid sized golf grips. It's like a new game for me now. I never knew there were bigger grips until I read about Bryson. I emailed a supplier here and confirmed what he was using and ordered a set. I think for me, I am finally in the correct sized grip for my hands. I have never hit the ball more consistently or been more satisfied driving home from the golf course. I would like you guys to fit a high handicapper to the right sized Jumbo grip, and see what that does for their dispersion and length. I suspect you will see some interesting results. Love the channel.
I like how nuetral you both stayed during this interview.... Very imformative...I am going to try these..
Seen it for a few vids now... extra handheld camera angle is so good... LIttle adjustments and additions can really bring up the production value.. kudos Matty
Already so close to 100k subs! Congrats guys!
Really interesting, thanks. I've got large hands but with low volume. Pretty much the inverse to "Cadet" sizing. i.e. gloves that are a tight fit in length and breadth are not skin tight in palm area. I'm playing midsize reduced taper grips already, but this is definitely something to try.
nice analysis. I'm seriously considering adding the jumbo size grips to my clubs and this helps my decision to try one. was not aware of the jumbo-medium size. Thanks.
Regardless of the outcome, I'm just envious of how consistent Matt is with his swing... Like a freaking robot 🤣 He's the ultimate test bed.
Also I want to try this - my miss ranges from a hard draw to snap hook. Good shots have just a baby draw. Currently playing standard MCC +4 and wear a medium glove, so the results here are definitely interesting 👍
such great production value in this one. great work!
I love these grips changed my entire set too the medium jumbo max because of Bryson. Played baseball and the thicker handle was always more comfortable for me. Now I feel comfortable swinging the club with minimal grip pressure. Glad you did this review no one else on UA-cam has done it.
what gloves size do you wear and how do you like the Mid sized grips after a few years (if you still use them) ?
I have large hands and original Jumbo Max were HEAVY... Killed swing weight... So glad to see today's video. I'm ordering them now.
The video quality and camera work is beyond amazing
What is truly amazing is that Matt can make another swing change and still hit it well!
Awesome videos, and I agree with others, love the new camera angles.
Fascinating, please do more testing on this .. great camera angles today 😉⛳️🏌️♂️🍻
Hi guys, I've been using the jumbo max med for 3 years now and I just love them. I have a large glove size so I use the medium grip.
I am planning on switching to the ultra lites for next season.
I need to see a JUMBOMAX sponsorship on Matt's shirt soon. Great video guys.
Love the new content. Excellent editing!
I used these after breaking my left hand, wow did they help, really sit in your hands, and the material they are made of, is far "grippier" than any golf pride grip. Genuinely felt like I could hit the ball a bit harder. For the non pro's among us, I actually missed right a lot after fitting these grips, but once you get used to them, they do seem to help you shoot straighter. Would recommend
This content is so so good! Makes me wonder about my grips. I wear a S glove and it's very snug which I like. I play MCC+4 in standard. I like a little more to hold on to on my bottom hand.
I have used Jumbomax tours and utralites for last 4 years (XL) my glove size is 2xl/3xl. Now only have XS Ultralites on woods and that's it. Great to stop hooks, but was so hard to feel iron heads. Very worth while trying out. Start with XS ultralites first, as they are huge as it is.
Loving the new style of filming fellas 🖕 my father plays oversized grips because he has arthritis in his fingers. It's a very 'odd' feeling that I enjoyed. I will be trying them when I change my grips next ✊👌🏼
I just ordered a set of mediums. My ball shape is very neutral and if anything leans slightly more towards a fade. But for the most part a very straight flight, 2 handicap and I’ve always bounced around with grip size. Medium size grips are to heavy and I would have to add a ton of weight to the head, I’ve gone 4 wraps 3 wraps and am currently gaming 2 wraps with standard grips. I fight fave control a bit so feel like experimenting with these is a good little test. We shall see soon when they arrive and I slap them on. Love the videos guys, very good information y’all provide 👍🏻
I have a Lamkin oversize grip with 5 wraps under it on my driver.... absolutely love it 😍 .... it alleviates arthritic pain in my knuckles as well ☺️..... Am a lefty that wears a XXL glove 🧤.... Looking at getting the rest of the set done now
I have large hands. I wear a XXL glove and im currently playing with golf pride tour velvet jumbo grips. Ive played with them for years and i really like them. This video has me thinking about trying the jumbo max xl.
Loved the info on grips!! Going to try for upgrades.
Love this video. I play these JumboMax in small on my irons. Really like them a lot. Seem to help square up the club. But have Always wondered if these scientifically add consistency. Would love to see a more in-depth video with irons & driver swings differences. More consistent squaring face? Tighter shot dispersions /accuracy? Straighter flight? More or less power? I think fitters should also pay some attention to grip as well. Anyways thanks gents
Wow! Great video!! Just stumbled upon your channel, and had to watch this. I've just been demoing the Ultralight grips for the last week or so, a LG. on my 7 iron and a MED. on my driver. I wear an XL glove, 1/4" long and 2* flat. I can tell you from my experience that I am for sure longer with both clubs, especially the 7. I've added at least 10-12 yards, consistently, with every shot I've made. I used to hit my 7 thin a lot. I haven't done that once with the Ultralight on there, and we're a whole lot of swings in now.
The driver has been interesting too. I took it to PGA Superstore and hit in the simulator to compare baseline numbers and with the Ultralight installed. Again, longer and less spin. I'm usually a 149-151ball speed, and around 2800-3000rpm. I'm high spin. With the Ultralight, I'm about 152-153mph ball speed and the spin has dropped to around 2500 consistently. I'm actually pretty surprised that these are working as they have. I was HIGHLY skeptical of these initially, because they just seem so counter to everything I've ever known. But, they work. I am about to replace all my grips. My standard grip is a midsize Golf Pride multi-compound with 4 additional wraps.
What size you end up going with?
@@jfranklin8190 ended up going with the Large. The XL just felt difficult for me to control. The Large is money though!
Once again this video applies to my question of right handed lefty, the dominant hand,
and how it relates to the brain and club face
To have access to larger grips that don’t weigh more than standard is HUGE! I’ve played the MCC + midsize but they messed up my swing weight so bad I had to take them off. My fingers dig into my palm on my left (lead) hand so I know larger grips will help a ton. Thanks!!
Really liking the new camera angles and cuts!
Fantastic video. Looking to test these out this week.
Getting fancy with the camera work. That was pretty cool Matty. Foreshadowing some later videos?
I have just put Jumbo grips on my irons after thirty years of playing. I use a 2xl glove. I'm now hitting the ball a lot straighter. I had standard grips before.. it seems to have worked for me
Love his swing. A lot of youtube pros promoting a simple compact swing technique without a lot of arm raising or wrist hinge... his swing is a great example of what can be achieved with a compact swing without a lot of moving parts.
Loving the view of the workshop!
This is great I was just looking at these and pondering these grips
I’m so glad I saw this video y’all made. I wear a XL glove and have always struggled with the club feeling like it twists in my hand at times. I do three extra wraps if grip tape to build the grips up but it still feels to skinny in my hands. I just ordered new bag of Mizuno irons and wedges and woods and am getting midsize grips with two extra wraps so I’m hoping it will help with the clubs feeling to small in my hands
How did it work?... I rock xl glove and have standard grips and the club def moves in my hands... I was thinking midsize plus 4 how did u like it with the 2 extra wraps
Loving the DTL view of Mattyboys swing, taking a deep dive into how he does it!
love the walk around camera perspective
I had a problem with my hands flipping at impact with my Driver, which as causing a snap hook. I was told to try Jumbomax grips to try to help with the problem. I’ve now been using Jumbomax for nearly a year now and I’m known as one of the straightest hitter with a Driver. I did tinker with different sizes. my glove size is XL, so I settled for the medium size one. These grips are brilliant for anyone with big hands. They’re also brilliant if you have a tendency to flip the club at impact.
Great job guys! They have a jumbo max xs which is an eighth bigger than standard size. Might want to have Mattie hit that one since he is Medium in glove size.
Hey guys, thanks for doing this video, I have been using the tour medium for 3 years and I wear a large glove. I find my hands don't get sore anymore since I'm not using a small grip anymore but when I get my new clubs I am going to switch to the ultra lite.
I know i have said it before, but I see a notification from TXG, I like the video. Simple approach. Simple man.
Love the content, I just bought some mcc+4... I have massive hands so needless to say I have to consider these?
I just had Golf Pride cp2 red jumbo grips put on my irons. I do have a larger hands and on the simulator I was crushing the ball pretty good with them now I just need to go on the course and see how different they are but I feel like the bigger grip is helping me hold on to the club much better now
I just ordered some for my new irons. Fortunately they offer a 60 day return so I’m going to try it out on my 6 iron and see how it goes. Excited to really give it a go.
I threw a JumboMax super oversize wrap grip on my driver when pga came back and I've been loving it. Feels like a have more feel and control with what my hands are doing because I'm not squeezing much.
I am most intrigued to see this with the driver. As someone who gets handsy with the big stick, this has me interested
I’ve been doing grip size fittings for years as a swing coach. I see a number of changes take place. Swing speed gets faster with the right one. Dynamic loft tends to decrease as the grip gets bigger until it’s to big. Path tends to work more left for a right hander as it goes up in size.
the "NEW" camera work is fun and the content is great as usual!
Great to see and hear the comparisons you are demonstrating. I’ve never tried a bigger grip and am very interested in doing so. Before I go get one of my irons outfitted with a medium jumbo, would you be able to comment on whether it would help a senior like me who is dealing with arthritis primarily in both index fingers, which has impacted my grip.
Ian and Matt, a couple weeks back you both did a video on Bryson’s iron shafts. Ian made a comment that stated the shaft was used for Bryson so as to be so stiff that all deflection would be close to being eliminated. The assumption to this would be that the only variable would be the golfer and not equipment. So a coup,e questions come to mind... 1. What are the benefits / disadvantages of an overly stiff shaft compared to a “properly” fit shaft for a golfer’s swing? 2 Knowing high handicappers generally need help getting a ball airborne, and an assumption made that mid to mid/low handicaps can reliably get a ball airborne under normal conditions, would an overly stiff shaft for a persons swing be of consideration for someone looking to truly to eliminate variables that a “proper” fit shaft might cause? 3 What would testing of a mid to mid/low handicap’s swing, performance, and ball flight look like side by side using a very stiff and low torque iron shaft compared to a “proper” fit shaft for their iron swing? I guess the big question, if Bryson is doing it to eliminate equipment variation during a swing, would that thought process be of benefit to an average golfer that can reliably strike decently? Just thought this concept might be worth looking at for an average golfers perspective.
I use Bionic gloves for my practice gloves. I recently purchased a black one - the white ones get quite filthy from my Tour Velvet grips. The black one turned out to be a bit different - called the Bionic Stable Grip. It has additional padding inside the glove in specific areas that has the effect of making the golf club grip feel larger in the gloved hand, like going from a std to mid-sized grip but only in the butt/upper section. It got me thinking - this might be a video idea for the lads. I wonder what difference a 'simple' glove change could make to your swing. You have synthetic vs different leathers (cabretta vs kangaroo, etc), wet weather vs dry weather, a pair vs single hand, and my new discovery - the padded Bionic vs this cabretta. Just a thought ...
Definitely is something to it, as the late, fellow Canadian, greatest ball striker, Murray 'Moe' Norman figured all this out way back in the 1950s, all on his own! He used an oversized grip and he always talked about his swing being one of the only ones to swing through the course, vs. around the course as 99% seem to do, ie. keeping club head squarer far longer than most! He always said he felt as if he kept the face square for approx. 22 inches beyond the ball, he likely wasn't keeping it square that long, but he felt like he was! He also swung his clubs on plane with every club in his bag via his single plane swing! Yall should seriously dig into as much Moe Norman footage out here that you can! I have been and it's amazing at all he figured out and was able to do consistently, long, long before ANY of this modern technology was even thought about!
Love the videos, the best golf channel on youtube easily. Would it be worth doing a video on lower hand grip size? Like the Tour Velvet vs the Tour Velvet PLUS 4?
Sooo I switched to the jumbomax xl tour wraps about a month ago (before bryson won btw) because I have a larger hand, XXL gloves, im built like a line backer (6'3" 310lbs). I had the issue that the grips I played before (lamkin crossline jumbo with 5 wraps) my fingers touched my palm and I had the issue of inconsistently spaying the ball. Since I've switched to the jumbomax grips, it's completely changed my game for the better, I've dropped 10 to 15 strokes per round due to consistency. So in my eyes, totally worth it if you have large hands!
Awesome video guys, much food for thought.
I've been waiting on a video like this
I had the XLs on all my clubs for a while, before they came out with the ultra lite version. I liked them a lot. They didn't cause me any problems, except that I had more of a tendency to over draw the ball. I only quit using them because of the swing weight issues. The UL ones might be ideal.
I am one of the players Ian described who has a very neutral path and face in relation to path and I do see a very pronounced benefit to using a larger grip. It was a happy accident you could say. I tried the larger grips to see if the would help with injury issues in my hands and my typical dispersion reduced dramatically. The lighter swing weight didn’t phase me a bit either but I’ve always had the best success with heavy shafts so the extra weight in the rest of the club may have helped with that but I don’t know for sure. However I have noticed over the years that if the club is overall on the heavy side the a lighter “swing weight” doesn’t affect me much at all. I don’t know if this is normal or not but I’ve always found it interesting.
Happy when I saw this video. I just got like new used p790, and they have midsized grips, and I am debating about changing the grips on my irons or the rest of my clubs.
Depending on your ball flight you might like the midsize. I ordered some P760s last summer and got midsize grips and hit them very straight. My miss is a baby cut now, which I don't really care for honestly since I have played basically my whole life with a beautiful natural draw. I have some standard grips to put on the clubs to try and get that draw back because it's easy to hit a cut on demand but it's a little tougher to hit a draw. If you hook the ball a bit or if your miss is to the left, the mid size grips might help you keep it a little straighter.
Actually Bryson does use the Ultrlight series XL grip. And they do work great for arthritic hands!
These videos are kinda like asmr but way more interesting. Every time matt hits a shot, there are sounds of shuffle and breathing and it’s like asmr lmao
