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 them snug.  To me, tight means that I have to struggle to get my fingers in and that gets painful very quickly.

I like them snug enough that the ball can hang straight down at my side with the fingers in the holes without falling off, but I am able to get my fingers out easily when I want to.

Tighter is better. (Minds out of the gutter).

Well actually, not too tight. I have to be able to get the fingers in. I find I feel better kind of jamming them in until they feel tight. If I ever throw somebody elses equipment that doe not fit well, I can deal with a big thumb, but not big finger holes.

I use a Footjoy glove to keep the fit real tight.I dont bevel the holes so the glove also makes for a nice feel on my fingers

Quad 1s lift side with a turbo switch grip thumb. i use a fairly snug insert and when my thumb is at its smallest, it needs 5 pieces of 3/4 white tape, after a few games it graduately swells a bit and one piece of tape comes out at a time.
