Opinion Poll: Grip Color
« on: August 17, 2006, 08:40:53 AM »
When it comes to inserts (if you use them) what is your preference...

Using inserts the same color of the ball so they blend in and you can't see them

OR

Using inserts that stand out and can be easily seen

just curious what thoughts people have on this topic...

People still use grips? Jk. I dont use grips. I only use black Vise thumb slugs. If the shop is out of black, I just wait till they come in.

My local pro only offers white, black and purple Vise inserts...
For wtaching ball recation, I really like white finger and thumb inserts, especially on dark balls. Black looks, cooler, though. I hate the purple color, but I must admit that these are the most durable and best gripping version. The white and black stuff seems to be slick silicone, while the purple inserts are rather matte or porous? Well, optically they only match a few balls (like my Trauma). But I will take whatever is currently at hand - and since I have thin fingers and need smaller sizes, a color matching choice is almost never a problem.

Back when I used grips, I told my driller there was only one rule. The color doesn't matter as long as they do not match any color on the ball or each other. Now I only have a thumb insert so white it is.

Vise clear slugs and no preference with grips, as long as they match. I hate two different colored grips.

Turbo Quad Ice is the grip of preference.  I hate slugs, so I opt for the mold and make it out of quick plug for that super fast release.

northface28, you're surprised that people still use grips ? you watch the pba on tv, don't you ? the best players in the world use grips---walter ray williams, jr., parker bohn III, chris barnes, pete weber, tommy jones, etc. if players at this level use them there must not be something "wrong" with them.

definitely plain black inserts and slugs! i got tired of my buddies saying they like my white stripe on my ball when it went down the lane! it just isn't right having to apoligize for your rev rate.

I like bright inserts in my equipment.I like revving the ball up and watching them rev it makes it easier to see how the ball is rolling.If a track is hard to pickup on the ball they are usefull also...
