Grip problem (small pinkies)

I have regular sized hands except disproportionally short pinky fingers. My thumbs are very long, my other fingers are so long they dig into the heel pad of my top hand. When gripping my clubs, I build the under-tape up to 5 layers below where my top pinky will sit. This makes my grip feel much better becuase the pinky has a smaller diameter to grip, but it could feel better if a grip could somehow be custom molder for my hands. The whole problem is caused because the way grips are tapered.

Do you have any suggestions to help my plight? Can you recommend any non-tapered grips?

Re: Grip problem (small pinkies)

Sounds like you want the grip reversed. The fat end down and the thin up. I wonder if you can cut the top off the grip and put that end on first. Then put a plug on the top (to keep dirt and moisture out)...

Re: Grip problem (small pinkies)

They are called full release grips, Golfworks sells them, thicker under the right hand.
