grips softest to hardest
« on: October 03, 2020, 08:01:44 AM »
I'm considering using different grips to tailor the feel of my release. I don't really want to mess with changing pitches. I could use a list of grips from hardest to softest. it would be really cool if someone made an insert that would give the feel of a no grip fingertip drill.. Thanks Everyone!
The harder I try the harder they fall

I don't remember seeing a list, But there was a video a japanese bowler did where he compared a whole bunch of grips using calipers, durometer to get the mesurements. I don't remember the name of it and it was in japanese.

While I am not an expert in all finger inserts, I can tell you the Vise inserts are softer than Turbo.  I used to use 10th frame because they had a soft, spongy feel to them.  When they went under, I tried a few different grips and the closest grip to the 10th frame is the Vise.  When I tried using Turbo, the feel was almost rock hard by comparison and the edge of the grip felt like it was digging in to my fingers.  Since I am a two hander with a little forward pitch, I wanted something softer.  I found the Vise to be almost a direct match feel wise to what the 10th frame inserts gave me.
