"Mazz" real name is John Mazzanoble, President JumboMax Grips
Everytime i tune into BigReds channel to see what been upto, his shorts get shorter and tighter everytime, amazing stuff
I’m working hard on that. Good to read you appreciate the work
broth, I was just gonna type that shit
😂
The only thing that will never be XL about Martin is his shorts.
The Jumbo Maxx Medium size grips changed my game completely! As someone whos had is left hand reconstructed, these grips helped with feel and comfort. My hand is no longer sore or in pain and the end of the round.
Had my left wrist reconstructed and has never felt right swinging the Club since ,so maybe try those grips.
I switched to Jumbomax after seeing Bryson and Peter Finch talk about them a few years ago. I tried a few different version of Jumbomax, but found the one I like (its 2 sizes down from the "Bryson Size" and I will never use a regular grip after that. My wrists have never felt better after using them for 2 seasons now on different woods/irons/wedges
Great video, Martin!
couldn’t agree more, it’s been game changing to me when I changed to JMX in 2022 but now I’ve really tested the full spectrum for the first time
I did that aswell, same story much straighter ballflights. Only downside, you gotta adapt the grip strength. I tended to grip too hard on the bigger grips
Awesome. I'm coming from tennis and now gaming the JumboMax UltraLite medium and will never go back. Loose hands and gloveless golf. Awesome 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
What size did you settle on in the end?
For generations, people have cried for answers from the sky. Martin is here to finally answer them. As his booming voice thunders from above "I DO, I WEAR SHORT-SHORTS!"
JumboMax Ultralite Large for the win! They completely changed my game and I shaved about 6 strokes after installing them on all my clubs.
I’d love to see that too. Good stuff!
Very interesting video. Being an ex-boxer, I have hand issues. This could help me out immensely. Thanks Martin for this concept, I really appreciate it.
absolutely, I’m glad it was helpful!
Numbers guy here… and jumbo max has backed the numbers to where I’ll never play with standard grips again.
I hear you and feel the same way!
What numbers did you see change out of curiosity?
Would this help with being steep at all? ( only driver issue not other clubs - thinking out the box / or dreaming lol )
@@Cfs_81I used to be really steep with driver… like hitting down 1 or 2 degrees with driver but set up is what fixed that more than the grips. Biggest change from grips I saw was how i released the club. Everyone body is going to react/adapt differently when going to larger grips. For me they helped with face angle and consistency of my face at impact. With regular grips I’d snap the face closed getting the duck hook left as I was over using my hands closing the club face down in the swing was too much. With the jumbo max grip I started to release the swing with the turn of my body more. So a more consistent face angle and launch direction is what I saw. Did it fix all my swing issues?? Absolutely not but it gave me a more consistent swing and I learned to play that swing and have shot much lower scores with jumbo max grips.
@@Cfs_81 I bought just two grips at first from a local store after doing their “grip fitter” online. It sized me in a Small. I Put them on my 8 iron and one on my driver and went to the range couple times before spending the $$ on a full set. But I liked the results I saw. Now I play them on all my clubs, even wedges.
@@colecole4774that’s awesome getting club face control that way. I struggle a bit with setup too but am actively working on it.
I’m gonna try the jumbo max on a club for sure now.
I get that odd release at times too. I wonder if the extra diameter in the grips puts your forearm >wrist > hands in a more natural feeling state. Not sure if I explained my guess right or not.
I’ve noticed with some grip adjustments things just go naturally and then getting a bit too strong can make me hit hooks.
Is there any particular club you’d recommend to try this out on first based on your experience with it?
What an incredibly gentle dude. That's all I got to say.
Super interesting. I mean I stopped Golf for over 12 Years and just returned with my son, but now I am Old and way more stiff. When I got my fitted bag in 2002 we changes to a mid size grip and it changed a lot back in that days (even was less pain). I was wondering way everyone buys the best clubs and Shafts but the connection to the club is the grip and now I see that this is maybe a thing most people doesn't realize. Maybe we need to make a CZcams video about returning as an old stiff body Golfer to the game and adapting the new things of golf and maybe becoming a longhitter again... do love the grip thing, we need something over here in Germany 🇩🇪 as well. We are years behind
Just switched to jumbo max ultra lite medium grips throughout the bag. Has straightened out my ball flight but also allowed me to swing more freely instead of trying to direct the ball. Love them. I need to find a local fitter to try out the various weight grips too.
Haters say his shorts are getting shorter. Real G’s know his legs are just getting bigger 💪🏻
Counter balancing with a standard grip is the same. The added weight in our hands and arms, induces
golfers to swing harder; just as we put more effort into lifting a heavy box compared to a light box.
Fairly new golfer here: I love my jumbo max grips. Coming from other sports standard and midsize just don’t feel right and even in my swing I either felt that the club was moving around in my hands during the swing or I was over gripping. Going to JMax Smalls and Mediums was an instant improvements in fit feel and comfort.
Ultimately I’m a feel first then numbers second but you need both. If it feels great you’re going to have more confidence which will lead to more consistency and less tension and apprehension.
At least that’s my impressions applying principles as I can from other sports that I’m more versed in to golf and it’s working. The numbers you can adapt to or adjust in other ways.
Feel. I'm in High 80's for standard score but may whole deal is creativity and working the ball.
I just went with the jumbomax this season and I'm excited to get them out on the course. The consistency in the shot shape is going to be a game changer.
it’s been a "shot shape changer" for me
Didn't even know "grip fitting" was a thing but would love to try. Currently use MCC +4 Midsize grips and relative to the standard size grips, it's been helping me control my face and keep the pressure lighter on the grip. I can only imagine the improvements with a proper fitting...
Go for it! Glad you enjoyed the video. Using a str8 tech grip will blow your mind 🤠
I'm 55, have XXL hands, and plus 3.4 index. JumboMax are a dream come true. They've reduced my wrist pain from arthritis, give better face awareness, and allow me to release fully and swing inside without fear of the Smothery Carl death hook. Best grips ever!
I play traditional grips and tried out a 5 iron with a jumbomax grip on it on a sim and laced FIVE back to back 200y draws. I’m going to change my whole bag over.
I sliced my ball so bad and I was so worried to try these big grips but they make it so much easier for me not to slice. I want to put them on my irons so I’m saving my money till I can afford it.
Jumbomax comfort wrap medium. Love them! Have them on my 3 sets. Much straighter distance as good or better, and feel amazing!
Glad you like them! have you ever tried bigger?
This is from Moe Norman, the Greatest Ball sticker ever!
I often draw my conclusions from the first shot
Ohhhh yeszzzzz grip nerding time, ... 😂😊 ... loving it. I game the JumboMax UltraLite medium and I did ramp up to that size and will never go back as my hands can be so loose and relaxed. Coming from tennis (and Basketball) the thin grips in golf never made sense to me. 🤔😁
I play also now gloveless and can hit multiple 100's without any strai or blister forming. 💪🏻😎
For your choice... interesting for sure. Awesome Martin. Stay metal dude .🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
that’s really interesting. I don’t really know a racket sport with super thin grips
@@MartinBorgmeierLD Case and point. The natural relaxed state of the hand would always require thicker grips. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Martin, I play JumboMax on my putter, chipper and playing with a variety they sent on drivers. Play irons in mid size, like your shorts. Shop the men’s department this week! 😂😂😂
Great idea 😂
Your English is getting better and better Martin!😂👍🏼 There’s no accent
Martin rode his road bike to the golf course, thus his attire choice.
I love having my oversize grips! I definitely feel like it's easier for me not to turn it over as much!
that’s exactly what I felt too
Martin, I'm coming to live with you when my wife kicks me out for buying more golf stuff. Wait until she hears how much I'm about to spend on "new grips". Ha may be the last straw so get my room ready please sir. 😂
hahaha, she’s going to love the new grips because all of a sudden you’re so happy 🤠
@@MartinBorgmeierLD haha I wish I worked like that.
Heavier arms and/or counter balanced golf club, increases momentum p=mass x velocity
I run the str8 tech mediums, love em.
love the str8 tech
Went from playing jumbo grips with 3 extra layers of tape with zero face control and awareness at the top of the swing, to an XL non tapered. Difference was immediate. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
so glad i saw this, i got some big grips ordered already
Great video once again Marty, grips really do make a big difference! I need bigger grips on most of my clubs but my health is keeping down at the moment and can't work. Maybe one day I can upgrade.🤞
I hope you get well soon and you’re back on the golf course that day 👍🏾
I play Jumbo Max ultralight in the second largest size (just smaller than Bryson’s). I’m not sure I’m hitting it straighter or longer, but they are much easier on the hands, wrists and elbows. And I can grip it lighter while maintaining control.
They are especially good at taking out excessive hand action around the green.
100% right on the i feel like i have to grip the shit out of my club.. I'm glad i found this video
Standard putter is 33 inches
I think you should get 36 or bigger if you can. Pick the blade or mallet putter that works best. I wanted to comment separate to be sure you viewed my recommendation
I would consider me to be a combination of feel and sight golfer. Give me a club that feels comfortable to make consistent contact and seeing the ball go at my intended target time after time. Then the olny number I need is what distance that club goes.
eventually that’s the essence of what you need
I'm definitely a numbers guy when it comes to what club and shot to hit, but over the ball, I feel the shape/swing.
I agree but after the shot I wanna see the numbers 🤠
idk why more people arent tuned into your channel Martin, but keep up the grind brotha
I can't remember which jumbo grip I got but I love them and you can't go back to skinny grips after you play with them a few weeks. I tried one of my old clubs and it felt like I was gripping a bare shaft.
Have arthritic. 1/16 over. Love love them. Relaxed grip pressure. Bad when wet though.
Great video on the benefits of the jumbo grips 👍. Got me thinking about trying them now. By the way, how did the tennis match you're dressed for go? 🎾😁
I won 6:0 6:0 😂😂
I just went to jumbo size grips, I love them.. where was this video 5 weeks ago.. well I guess next year, this will be my go to..
you can always test with one club and if you like it that much, you make the investment and change em all 🤠
@@MartinBorgmeierLD that's how I ended up with jombos for this year... started with 1 club.. I had 2 different sets re gripped this spring, my everyday set, and than irons from the early 1960s.. because I am a golf nut,ahhah
Ive stuck a medium ultralite on my driver, i love it (my bad one is/"was" a snap hook), i never hook any other club, even 3 wood (though i use Jumbo golf pride with 4 layers of tape anyway), my concern on switching them all isnt so much irons, it's the wedges. I cant think thatll I'll play good flop shots or bunker shots with these fat grips
I got jumbomax ultralite xl on my clubs. I suffer with bad wrists and arthritic hands. So far pain free and great results with striking.
Did you go tapered or straight. I am in the same boat. Pain in my right hand every time I hit the ball.
Martin shows he has a big brain too 😂
I feel the numbers... (I am actually a one bastard who is always trying to get my mates to change thicker grips too)
keep telling them bro
@@MartinBorgmeierLD I will and have changed grips for them on couple iron sets already
Kinda wish I saw this before putting all the gold pride +4 grips on my clubs lol woulda liked to try the JUMBO
I definitely need some jumbo grips, with my standard grip it feels like I’m swing a damn pencil in my hands
I’d like to see your stats with your driver and different grips
I’m currently working on that. Right now I’m using an XL Str8 tech on the play driver
Can be both a feel and numbers player by using numbers to tune in your feels.
I agree, absolutely
Wow, thank you for the video but now maybe we can work on some jumbo shorts for you too😂😂
Can you show a side by side of your grip with your standard grip compared to the new JumboMax?
I’ve done a few on my IG. It’s double the size for sure
you should be actor in Austin Powers with those pants
How do I go about getting one of these grip fittings done????!!!!!!
Martin how is your blood flow with those shorts? 😂 great video btw!
I slice as often as Martin wears shorts that fit
I’m so afraid to do this. Especially with an app fitting. 🤣
all you can do is try with one club and see how you like it
@@MartinBorgmeierLD Well…I am 6’7” tall. Maybe there’s something to it? Probably the tallest golfer in N Texas. Collab? 🤣🤣
Numbers guy.
AWESOME video!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love my jumbomax grips but would love to have a proper fitting as I have tried med, small, and xs but exactly sure which is the best for me.
Fair enough! I almost feel like it’s a continuous process to find the right one and it might change too based on your swing
Ok where in the Bay Area can I get a fitting like this?! I love the explanation and visuals
check out the app on the website, it’s getting you pretty close. From there you can experiment further 👍🏾
My driver built it about 339 grams Tsr4 Ventus black 6x currently using the tour wrap 2G standard would be interesting to try jumbomax
give it a shot and let me know how it went
thats the fittest short!
Next time you are in Dubai, Let me know would love a game with you!
Slice and dice!!!
Leaving a comment because I slice the ball but since I’m a left I call it a power fade
it’s a "turbocut" 😂🤠
@@MartinBorgmeierLD 😭😂😂
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
Them shorts painted on?
I'm a beginner with the nickname "sir-slice" 😬🤦♂️🤦♂️ would a larger grip help me or hurt me??!
Martin get a putter that works for you. Bending over that far to putt is not good for you. You are the same breed like Bryson regarding the golf weights and numbers.
that’s very true. What would you recommend?
@@MartinBorgmeierLD just do what Bryson does. Make your life easy. or get a big ass mallet. Like an odyssey 11, 2 ball tour line.
@@MartinBorgmeierLD longest shaft possible 36 inches Callaway ai and pick the blade or mallet you like
Kyle tried that too for a while. But honestly, you have to find what works for you.
LAB all the way.
Where is the jumbo grip driver vid with numbers? Wanna see the comparison to your normal figures.
Bro looks like 7 foot tall baby in a onesies. Im trying the big grip.
You fit him for your xl grips and I saw him playing ultralight xs?????
took me a week to out them on but I’ve used them ever since
@@MartinBorgmeierLDso you are on the XS now or still XL?
I understand now how you went from XL, XS,I now have M,S,XS and they all feel good having a tuff time trying to figure it out as I would like my grips to be all one size.
When are you doing to do a What's in the Bag for 2024?
How does someone get fitted for a grip
You might fit him with a regular pair of shorts as well.
Do it Martin, I did and it was night and day.
It has always been a mystery to me why grips were always so thin. It seemed to me that it was down to nothing other than history and the simple fact that it was the only way to make golf clubs when Tom Morris was playing. Now, when we can do almost anything, thin grips are just ridiculous.
I feel the numbers...
Thay guy is edfing huge, if i was his fitter id recommend a log as his 5 iron
Why are his shorts so tight?
Because he’s bigger than you.
But hardly anyone has mitts that size!
How and where do you get fit for these grips?
Where can we get fitted like that ? Or do we have to try them lol
the app is the easiest go-to, the quickest is trial and error based on the app results
I am having issues with my hands as I get older. I’d love to try out Jumbo Max but I’m having a hard time finding a fitting near me (Atlanta, GA). Any suggestions?
I would recommend you to get fitted online and order a few different ones to test. Whichever one produces the best results and feel is the winner
@@MartinBorgmeierLDthanks. I was kind of hoping that someone offered a “fitting” experience similar to the one in video. Not necessarily outdoors but was looking to try a few out to get a feel without having to disrupt my current set.
Some jumbomax shorts would also be nice😂
I hit 150’ slices somewhat consistently with my driver
Love the fat Perez cameo 🤣
Works for BD, shouls work for everyone right?
not necessarily. I’ve always felt weird using his clubs… until I gave it a fair test
Feel for me no numbers involved. Don't want to think about anything except hitting the ball.
It’s important to me to connect a feel with a number
Your swing weight with the 123 g grip would be roughly C5?
Swing weight is pretty much an arbitrary measurement. D2 with a driver won't feel the same as D2 with a wedge.
No, it will not make you hit strainer. What will do is change your hand path by up to 3°
it definitely did and that resulted in more right spin axis for me
High moi drivers I think are a bunch of marketing talk…. A bigger grip will give you a bigger lever to stop the face rotation on off center hits… it gives more torque on the shaft… also more torque means it’s easier to close the face… I think….
Those shorts 😂
Spoiler alert.
He went much larger on the grips, and much smaller on the shorts
Wow this guy so huge and his driver just weighs 40 grams lol
What exactly is the guy wearing?
J. Lindeberg polo and shorts
Why can these golfers never find shorts that fit
