I saw this interesting product on a Golf Channel ad the other day: Jumbo Max Grips
From the website:
JumboMax® Grips can quickly and dramatically improve the way golfers of all abilities play the game of golf.
JumboMax® Grips are a new, USGA-conforming grip designed to fit your hands better for superior surface contact and more solid ball striking. The larger diameter of JumboMax® Grips creates maximum surface contact for a secure and comfortable feel. This in turn lets you relax your grip on the club for a more fluid and powerful swing.
Eliminates tension for faster clubhead speed. Golf instructors universally agree that the surest way to ruin a good golf swing is by gripping the club too tightly, or by increasing grip pressure during the swing, which prevents the club from releasing properly at impact. The larger diameter and unique design of JumboMax Grips instantly gives you a more secure hold on the club, so you don’t feel the need to squeeze. You’ll relax your grip on the club freeing your hands and arms to release the club naturally, giving you the fluid, effortless and powerful swing you need.
Square the clubface more consistently for incredible accuracy. Because you can generate 38% more turning power with a JumboMax Grip than with a standard grip, not only will you relax your grip on the club creating more clubhead speed, you’ll find it easier to keep the clubface square longer through impact for straighter, more powerful shots.
Play and practice longer with less shock on your joints. Not only do JumboMax Grips outperform standard grips for distance and accuracy they have the added benefit of being extremely comfortable and shock-absorbing. If you have arthritic hands, you will really appreciate our super-oversized, twist- resistant, shock absorbing technology.
I’m tempted to give these a try.

All of that makes sense, except I tend to not release as well as the grip gets larger – perhaps it is from a lack of practice with larger grips though. I wonder how these grips hold up compared to standard golfpride or lampkin grips.
I also like the idea of possibly not using a glove with a larger grip.
I look forward to a review.
Interesting concept but would like to see how it goes against a Golf Pride, Black Widow or a Lamkin.
