the guy who invented the 1/2 size finger grips for vise grips should be given a promotion or a medal or something. these have made a great difference in my game.

Can't altering the pilot hole size make enough of a difference to really make 1/2 size inserts obsolete for the most part?

my fingers change size more than my thumb. for me i need to carry #5's and #4's to go along with the #5 1/2's and #4 1/2's that are in the ball. i'm covered either way.

I use the 7/8" OD Vise inserts, which aren't made in half sizes, so that's what my driller used to do to compensate.

Turbo grips makes the half sizes now in the standard quad 1, but the quad 2 is not tho, so people looking for the semis and nubs in half sizes you have to use vise.

If you are in betweeen sizes, just drill the pilot hole a different size (i.e 61/64 or 63/64).  I'm between 13/16 and 27/32s but Turbo doesn't make the Power Ovals in half sizes so I drill a pilot 31/32 and then drill the top .5" with a 63/64.

i use the vise half sizes and love them.  They make any kind of grip that you like the smooth oval the semi oval the power lift the blended lift the bubble grip they make em all and are very high quality.  Ask your local proshop to get them for you. if they wont you can get them thru buddiesproshop.com
