I used to use contour but I now use Vise.  Not only do they fell more comfortable imo, but I can use those in regionals.

Turbo Quad Insert in the clear ice color...very soft and I get great grip

Vise clear urethane thumb slugs when I am not using GripLoc..clear Vise slugs give a very clean release.

Both vise, when I use a slug. Better quality product, lasts longer, more uniform size from insert to insert. Slugs are always the same diameter and length, turbo's were not always, that's why I don't carry them any longer.

Vise Powerlift Ovals and GripLoc Slugs.  The Turbo Dual slugs clog my vac.  I like them but they are more expensive.  Little softer than GripLoc.

I prefer Vise grips myself.  I don't really know the difference in feel for thumb slugs.

Are the clear slugs slicker than the colored ones?  Is that the same "clear" that you get with exactacated thumb slugs?

Just curious.

I just use slugs. Not to picky on what I get. Whatever is at a great price.

I like the Turbo clears, they feel better than the Vise to me. Slugs, I honestly cant tell the differance.

I use the Vise Power Lift for my ring finger and,the oval for my middle finger,this allows me to get a cleaner and smoother release.The thumb slug I use,is the original urethane.As I stated before, Vise just feels better for me but,the inserts seem softer to me and they seem to last longer.

Vise power lifts and Vise thumb sleeve.  I tried slugs, but to tacky for me.
