Who does use grips?
« on: December 04, 2006, 12:21:39 PM »
We had a topic on why some people don't use grips. Who here does? I used powerlifts.

I'm a vise oval man myself, but my only quandry is that even grips marked the same size, seem to be different.  I know that initial hole size is a big factor, but I have all different sizes in my fingers.  The thing I love most about them is the 1/2 sizes.

Trauma,

You should try Vise Ovals in the Vacu Style.  That is what I use, always Black, and you should too.  Did that sound like a commercial?  Sweet!  I think Vacu Grips would help you with the grips feeling different sizes.

Used PowerGrips for years, but thanks to the new PBA rules had to change. Now switching over to Turbo Ice. So far I like them, but the surface on the inside of the lift is a little different.

I use grips, Vise I think, though I am in the process of switching to the Vacu Grips.  I tried them for the first time this summer and find them more comfortable, especially when the fingers swell.

Turbo Quad Ices....oval side with the little textured bumps.  These are by far thebest feeling grips to me and are "invisible" in the ball.
