Vise Vacu grips... Thoughts please
« on: November 07, 2015, 02:16:29 PM »
    It has been a minute since I have posted on here.  However, I am in need of sound advice.  For the last two years I have been throwing my equipment with no grips.  I decided to make the change to decrease my overall rev rate a bit and gain some consistency in my release.  I am now to the point where it's become more uncomfortable than I feel the benefit is worth.  Tried every kind of tape and glove you can think of, nothing is helping though. 

     I have never been a fan of the Sarge Easter grip so that is out of the question.  I am in the process of having the Vise IT thumb system put into my balls.  After doing some research on Vise's website I saw information about the vacu grips.  Based on the advertisements I could have the comfort of grips and a clean consistent release.  From your experiences, would you say this is true?   

     Thanks for any input!

Vacu Grips is more of a installation method than a specific product, with that said, I love the technique.

For me they were very comfortable but had to replaced sooner than regular grip drilling. So I got re-measured and used size larger (7/8 and 13/16) from (13/16 and 3/4) this seems work better and inserts last longer now that just me everyone different.

I used them for years loved them, if you bowl alot of games they allow for swelling on ya fingers. Use good glue cause I've saw some fly out

True what abrown post had it happen to me in an tournament middle of second game had it re-glued before 3 game then proceeded to bowl 300 the final game.At one time I could not bowl with out Vac-grip would hurt a bunch until I went to a local Pro Shop owner named Bill Fong re-measured me and got me to try using larger inserts now I just tack them in instead of usng a lot of glue also my inserts would tear apart when I try to replace them.
