Iv narrowed down my choices on a mouse to g403 wired, g pro, g 502. I have bigger than average hands 8 inches top of middle to between palm and wrist. I am a palm gripper. I do not want wireless. Which mouse is best for my money.

All three are good for the price. 502 is too heavy imo, if you like light mice, 403 and pro are the ones to go with. G pro was made for a ambidextrous audience. The 403 will give a tad bit more thumb support as there is a grove on the left side of the mouse for your thumb unlike the G pro

 

I'd also take a look at the rival 310.

I like to keep my mice under 100g

 

If you live in the US go to your local bestbuy, they almost always have logitech and razer booth's open for trying

Personally, I like the g502. People say it is "heavy", but unless you play games professionally, I don't think it'll make much of a difference.

The mouse weighs 149-168 grams depending on how many weights you put in it.

As for length of hand, I'm ~7.5 from finger to first "wrinkle" in wrist.

My naga is 135 and im fine with it although lighter would be better, my more important concern would be if my hands are too big. My naga is to small and I cant comftoarably keep my hands on it palm grip so im forced doing it claw grip.

What about without weights?

You can add more weights into the mouse if you want (I'm not sure why).

Really, the mouse isn't noticeably heavier than other mice I've used.

Here's a picture of the weights.

I never tried any of the g series personally but I did try the mx master 2s and the origional what do you think of those for gaming. The mx master 2s is the most comftorable mouse I ever tried currently but im not sure of its response time and such.

If the naga is too small, steer away from the G pro as its even smaller.

403/502

Deathadder Elite

Or rival 310 should be perfect for you.

On the 403 or 502 seem to be the perfect length. One question is can I set the sensitivitiy to on the fly. So when I push a button I can use the scroll wheel to adjust the sensitivity? And if not can I configure the dpi exactly to like 2300 and not preset numbers?

For what you've got it down to in the OP IMO the 502 is the best option.  +1 for checking out the Rival/Steel Series options, they may fit your hand better and Staples usually has them out on display.  Also, I have large hands too, and find that the Zowie "large" size gaming mouse to fit my hand better than most others out there - like the first really decent Microsoft Optical mice back in the day, nice and large so most complain about it, yet for large hands, it's perfect.  Also, the Zowie have a large profile raised in the middle of it, perfect for palm grip type use.  IMO Zowie of any of the models in large is something the OP should try before buying anything else, as I'd bet it'd fit best.
