Maybe I have a skewed perspective then cuz I don't feel like my hands are crazy big but they are 9.6" and I'm only 5'11" and some change.

That's unusually large. Pretty sure the average hand size is like 7.5" or so.

No the NFL measures like the image I posted. According to multiple sources.

With the other measure I'm a paltry 8" dead on.

Yeah, hand span makes a lot more sense as a functional measurement.

Aside: I have a friend who has some of the largest hands I've ever seen; it's like he has a bunch of bananas attached to his wrist. He's 6'3 but he wears size 9 tennis shoes.

I don't even feel comfortable throwing a football with my hands. I never feel like I can get on top of it. Can't imagine with hands almost an inch smaller.

Damn, I had never measured my hand before. I'm 6-3 and have 10 1/3" hands.

I can spin it, too.

Edit: 8 1/2" from wrist to tip of middle finger.

I'm probably one of the few people on Earth who has measured his hands more than his dick.

When I was younger I used PING's online fitting app all the time.

Except I'm pretty damn sure I'm not. That would be really stupid measurement for anyone to use.

Why? I'm not getting why you think the pinky to thumb measurement is better for a QB than the palm to middle finger. A QB is NEVER going to have his hand stretched like that while holding the ball. Having a large hand (pinky to thumb-wise) won't help you grip the ball any better. But having a large hand (palm to MF) will.
