Finger Grip Size Question
« on: September 28, 2008, 01:42:08 PM »
I currently use Turbo Quad Finger Grips in sizes 13/16 & 25/32.

I want to try some Vise Grips in power lift, power lift oval, and oval.

My question is....are the sizes in Vise the same as Turbo or does Vise run a bit big, small, etc???

I understand, Jeff. Thanks.
I know they feel different from one brand to the next. In fact, the clear ones from Vise are even softer than the other colors, so I did try a half size smaller when I used them to compensate for the extra "stretch" since I use Vaccu Grips. I'm not sure it was a good idea because the tips of my fingers were throbbing before league was finished. Lesson learned the hard way... again.

The clear Vise-grips are the ones I use, because they were softer. Funny I use them for when my yellow Contours don't go with the color of the ball somehow. But they have so much "uncolor", that in some of the darker centers, I have to rotate the ball around a lot to find the finger holes. Even saying that sounds funny. Sometimes I'm almost frustrated trying to find the holes ... ,  especially on my dark spare ball.

Thanks to all that have responded here.

The reason I didn't go to a pro shop to check out Vise for the right sizes is because the two shops in my area don't carry Vise. There are other shops, but they are 25 miles or more from where I live. The two shops in my area both carry only Turbo.

From what I have learned since writing this topic, I found that Charlest is correct in that Vise runs a wee bit larger. Grayson and Cobalt Bomb indicated likewise. Thanks guys for your input. It was appreciated.
