Finger Fit - Snug or Tight or Loose?
« on: March 10, 2009, 07:28:31 AM »
What do you prefer?

I've just switched to Vaccu Inserts and like the tighter feel.  I'll have to go a few more weeks to see how it wears on my fingers though.

How about everyone else?

I like a snug fit, but not tight.

I like mine snug but not super tight, I don't use finger inserts so I pre-cut black tape for the finger holes and adjust them as necessary due to swelling.

I dont use grips, however i do like my finger holes really tight.  I think it helps me get my thumb out cleaner.

Snug, tight means I have to work to get the joint in all the way.

I like mine fairly tight, I use the Turbo quad II semi lift. Definitely helps me get my thumb out cleaner.

I personally like them snug to tight, always have.  Back before grips were even invented, this was kind of tough without adding and subtracting tape from regular finger holes.

Loose, no grips.  All you really use is the front of the finger holes any way.  --  JohnP

I like the snug fit with oval inserts.

Snug Vacu-grips.  (And I always use clear Vise inserts, I love that tacky feel they have).  I do not like the inserts tight, however.  I'd rather have them be a touch loose rather than too tight.
