Switched to midsize grips, everything draws now. Coincidence?

Played standard grips for like 15 years, always a slight fader. Nothing dramatic, just a little left-to-right I'd learned to live with. My hands are on the bigger side (cadet XL glove) and a buddy finally nagged me into trying midsize. Did the whole bag two weeks ago, Golf Pride MCC +4 midsize, all 13 clubs.

Now everything is a draw. Not a hook, just a draw. Same swing, same everything else. Not complaining since my old miss was right and now it's left, but I genuinely can't tell if this is the grips or if I just happened to find something in my swing at the exact same time.

The logic on paper says bigger grip = less hand rotation = less closure = fade, right? So I'm getting the exact opposite of what the internet says should happen. Either the logic is backwards or I'm subconsciously gripping lighter now because the bigger size feels more secure in my hands.

Anyone else change grip size and see a ball flight change? Or is this the classic "changed one thing, played better, must be the thing" trap we all fall into? Because I've done that before with a new driver and it turned out I was just swinging better for a month.

Bigger grip = less rotation is one of those things that sounds right on paper but doesn't hold up in the real world. What actually happens is you stop death-gripping it, and relaxed hands release the club better, not worse. Small grips make me squeeze and flip, big grips let me just hold on and swing.

I went the other direction and it bit me. Tried undersized on my irons a few years back thinking I'd gain speed, hooked everything off the planet for a month. Went back to standard and the hook went away.

That said, your driver story is real too. Two weeks is not enough to know. Give it a month of actual rounds before you decide anything.
