Softest Insert
« on: February 25, 2007, 10:49:41 PM »
WHo makes the softest insert out there?  Currently using Turbo Ice Quads, but they are very sticky and the edges are real sharp, seems to be tearing up the side of my finger.  Thanks in advance.

Before I swithched to Turbo I used Vise.  If they are the only option out there I will go back, But I was hoping to find a softer insert than Vise.  I'm really not worried about having to replace them all the time, I just need something more comfy.

my Tenth Frames were the softest and I had to replace them quite often.

I agree that 10th frame inserts are softer than vise or turbo.

Your pro shop can shave the outer edges of your current inserts as well.  Worked for a set I got with sharp edges.

Heres a tip....

Take a little bit of Acetone on a rag and give the inserts a quick hit with it.

Makes them a little softer and it take the edge off them. Makes them more contour


Even though I don't use inserts, I'v eseen this done at my local proshop a couple a bunch of times.

Turbo makes a sof/t grip that is really really soft and actually makes your fingers sore the first couple times you use them.

Turbo 2-n-1 (old style) ice.  Don't get any softer than those.
