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...

I only use black inserts (and slugs). I used to use yellow or white inserts but have since found that I prefer not seeing the grip revolving around the ball.

I use either black, blue, yellow or clear. Depending on the ball color...
Those are the only choices Next Level PS gives me!
The clear ones own.

I mostly get green, yellow, and white.  I'd rather have Black or I want to try the clear ones, but I never remember when I'm actually get a ball punched up lol.

I pretty much use yellow, but the color doesn't matter to me. I would use 3 different colors if that's all that was available.

I have found that different color grips FOR ME sometimes feel different.  To keep it simple, I just use black grips and slugs now.  They don't always match, but they all feel good to me.

I try and find the inserts that clash the most with the color of the ball.  Pink w/ blue, orange w/ green, etc.

Well it depends, if the place has different ones i'll go with bright colors so you can see them, but I normally just take white, I really would like to use clear but i've never been to a shop that had clear ones.

I prefer them to match the ball if possible but if not then it really doesn't matter that much to me, except pink, that's the one color I don't much care for concerning bowling ball grips.

I use clear grips exclusively now and go with black slug (unless the shop is out of them, in which case I use whatever is available).

yellow or black.

for some reason i cant stand using the clear grips.  They gave me a little squishy feeling and i changed them out for yellows and now my whole arm doesnt hurt(like the one night i used the clear ones).  My teammates also have had this problem with the clear grips and thus replaced them.
