ehh pros get paid for using inserts, for them proly be the same with or without it
if u want to talk about feel, ask norm, he would say go with no grips
in my case, no grips long time ago, not going back, even tho i still have some balls with grip that i just let them sit on my bookshelf.
things to notice: u are going to lose revs and carry, but release is cleaner and u will notice right away that u are hitting on the ball instead of letting it go.
after going no grips, theres absolutely no dmg on my fingers, and of course, i got my revs and carry back once i got used to it. i would say give it a try, for firsttimers make sure u bevel on the first ball and make the edge sharper and sharper.
for practice, i have a ball drilled negative with almost no bevel on the fingers to practice swing and let go.

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment
When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
