Tour players using JumboMax
Yes, JumboMax grips are used on tour. Elite players rarely change grips without a clear reason. It is usually about protecting a pattern, improving comfort, or tightening control under pressure.
On Team JumboMax, the headline names include:
- Bryson DeChambeau (LIV Golf)
- Jason Day (PGA Tour)
- Sergio Garcia (LIV Golf)
- Retief Goosen (PGA Tour Champions)
Bryson is the obvious case study because he has used JumboMax grips across the bag, including a JumboMax putter grip to support his arm-lock style.
"No More Squeezing the Club" - Try changing to Jumbomax and improve your game
Get Fitted for JumbomaxWhy a tour player would switch to JumboMax
At elite level, the goal is not “more tech.” It is more predictable delivery under speed and pressure. Oversized grips can influence how the hands apply pressure and how the handle behaves through impact.
Common reasons tour players move to JumboMax:
- Grip pressure management: staying firm without squeezing when adrenaline rises
- Face stability: reducing excessive hand action that changes curvature at higher speed
- Comfort: lowering strain through hands, wrists, and forearms during heavy practice blocks
- Repeatability: keeping a stock pattern “stock” for longer
What the pros say
Pros rarely talk in superlatives about grips. Their feedback is normally about feel, pressure, and stability. Sergio Garcia has described the grip as feeling comfortable quickly and helping him relax grip pressure.
Takeaway: the value is not “bigger equals better.” It is “the correct interface for my hands and my pattern.”
What golfers usually notice first
The first change most golfers report is effort. Swings often feel less forced, especially at higher speed. For many players, dispersion tightens before distance changes.
That is a positive sign. It suggests the club is being delivered more consistently, rather than you trying to manufacture speed.
Why copying a tour setup can backfire
Tour usage is useful context, but copying a pro’s exact size without testing can create the opposite result. Here is what typically goes wrong:
- Too big: wedges feel vague, partial shots lose precision, release feels delayed
- Too small: you do not get the pressure or stability benefit and assume it “doesn’t work”
- Whole set swap: you change too many variables at once and cannot isolate what helped
The smarter approach is to test two sizes on one full-swing club and one wedge, then commit once you know what improves dispersion without killing feel.
What we see at Outtabounds
The golfers who tend to love JumboMax are not always the ones with the biggest hands. They are usually the golfers who:
- Grip it too tight, especially under pressure
- Get handsy at the bottom and fight a quick left miss at speed
- Want a calmer release without forcing a hold-off
- Feel forearm fatigue during longer practice sessions
When results are mixed, it is almost always a sizing issue. Comparing two sizes back-to-back usually makes the correct choice obvious within a short session.
Practical takeaway
If you want the tour-level approach, copy the process:
- Test two JumboMax sizes on the same club
- Look for reduced effort and tighter dispersion
- Confirm wedge precision on partial shots
- Then regrip the set with the correct model and size

Oversized grips should be treated as a fitting decision, not an impulse purchase. The fastest way to know if JumboMax will help your game is to test the correct size and model while watching ball flight, strike, and dispersion.
Frequently asked questions
Which tour players use JumboMax grips?
Examples from Team JumboMax include Bryson DeChambeau, Jason Day, Sergio Garcia, and Retief Goosen.
Does tour usage mean JumboMax will help me?
Not automatically. It shows the concept works at the highest level, but your best size depends on your hands, grip pressure, and release pattern.
Should I use the same size across the whole bag?
Not always. Some golfers prefer one feel on longer clubs and a slightly different feel on wedges. Testing makes this clear.
