Title: Different vise grips
Post by: johnkim on May 20, 2016, 02:45:37 PM

There are 3 different types of grips from vise.
Can someone explain the difference between these:
1) Power lift/oval
2) Oval/power lift oval
3) Power lift/ semi

Thank you

By the way, where online has the best price?

Power Lift/Oval- one side is plain oval and the other side has a lift on it which puts forward in you grip so you can hit up on it more.

Oval/PowerLift Oval- Same as above except PowerLift Oval probably has a slight lift in it.

PowerLift/Semi- Same as above except one side has a semi-bump in the grip for the spans that are shorter for semi-fingertips.

Hope i got that right.

Power lift/oval - the power lift is a pitched grip with a flat pitched area. The power oval lifts are also pitched but are as the say oval instead of flat. Like Billdozer these are the ones I use

I call em a hyrbid of the two. No pro shops carry them in my area

I just bought vise grips for my sister.

The fingers fit just fine but the grips are too big to fit into the bowling ball.

How could this be?

The bowling ball holes are just too small.

Anyone have any idea?

She probably has lady grips which use a 7/8 diameter hole vs the 31/32 hole that regular grips under 13/16 use. The lady grips allow for a smaller total bridge size due to the smaller overall diamete
