Changeable Thumb and Molded Thumb
« on: February 01, 2009, 06:12:25 AM »
For those that use any of the systems (Grip Loc - Turbo or Vise).  Can a molded thumb be used with any of the systems?  

Thanks

I just started using the Vise IT system in my pro shop, and I also have the Vise molded thumb kit. The Vise IT system is designed to use Vise thumb slugs, not molded slugs. I think that I could use a molded thumb slug, and install the male and female mollies into the molded slug (with a little machine work). Definitely not worth the time unless it was a specific situation that required it.

Rumor had it VISE was gonna release some sort of setup to be able to use the exactacation thumb system with the IT system. Havent heard anything since, and like i said, it was a rumor. Who knows though. The IT was in the works for a long time and eventually got released.
