Title: Finger Fit - Snug or Tight or Loose?
Post by: 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?

Post by: themagician on March 10, 2009, 03:44:40 PM: 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.

Post by: Dan Belcher on March 12, 2009, 10:36:30 AM: 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.

Title: Re: Finger Fit - Snug or Tight or Loose?
Post by: Danes07 on March 12, 2009, 11:10:18 AM: 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.

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.

Post by: TheDude on April 13, 2009, 12:41:41 PM: 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.
