Title: Do you use grips? If so what kind?
Post by: billdozer on March 14, 2017, 09:07:47 AM
Just wondering as I still use vise, but there's alot of chatter about ultimate grips latley. Leave any feedback on your style choice.

Vise Vacu

Can't you use any grips for the Vacu method?

I can't vote. You don't have Contour Power Grips on the list.

There are now. I use them with an occasional use of Vise Grips.
I strictly use the flat ovals.

My old pro shop carried them; that's how I go hooked on them.
2 of the internet sellers I frequent also carry them:
Buddies has a whole selection of Pro Sports Contour grips:

and Discount Bowler also carried them:

And very inexpensive too - $1 each. (plus shipping)

Vise Vacu

Can't you use any grips for the Vacu method?

Maybe? Just ran through the sample setup at the Pro Shop, like the extra snug, yet expandable feel. Told my PSO to go with that for me from now on and he stocks Vise.

Vise ovals, black in color only.  The other colors have a different fit and feel to me. Who knows, I may just be a freak of nature to be able to tell the difference. But... that's what works for me.

Vise IT thumbs too.

Vise  - oval in ring finger & power lift in middle finger (don't know, just like the feel).  Clear color only - feel softer and tackier to me.

Turbo s/g thumb

Clear vise ovals.  I am accustomed to the feel

My pro shop carries them so they must sell a lot of them. I'm quite sure he isn't selling them just for me since he has all sizes available and I only need 2 sizes (3 & 25).

I too see a lot of hype surrounding Ultimate, but I still use Vise.  As for color and feel, I agree that the black grips feel better and will be switching out all of my colored grips to black with my next order.

I use vise power oval primarily, with a couple having turbo; no color preference.

Semi-offtopic: What brand/model of inserts are the longest lengthwise? (not talking about diameter)

Turbo Grips ... Oval side

I only used black Turbo Quad ovals for a couple years.

I tried a sample from Ultimate and I liked their grips but the shops around me don't carry them and they're a little more money to buy straight from Ultimate.

The last 4-5 balls I've drilled up all have clear Vise ovals
