Good idea, poorly carried out. Since there is no grip, its like having permanent easy slide on your thumb, so if you can imagine you drop it alot. Secondly, the inside of the thumb saver you can feel where the materials are stitched together, and after 5+ games it will literally cut and blister the side of your thumb. Lastly, your thumb pitch and size will have to be altered to compensate for the lack of grip and the increased thumb size.
Thumb saver - 15 dollars
redrill thumb/slug - 5-15 dollars
10-15 wasted practice games - 15-50 dollars
changing your thumb hole back - 5-15 dollars
Taking the time to fit your thumb hole properly without a thumbsaver - Priceless.
There are something money can't buy, for everything else there is patience.

new product coming out called ron c's magic carpet. thats also the website, sounds interesting and promising. you may want to check it out.

Magic Carpet has been out for quite a while. Many on here, including myself, swear by it.

I think Ron still sends free samples to try. PM him here (username Magic Carpet), or send him an email and see if he still does. It's about as thick as 4 pieces of white tape, so if you have a tight thumb hole, you might need to open it a bit.
