Difference in finger grip inserts
« on: May 05, 2006, 02:35:53 PM »
Planning on buying new inserts online and was wondering what the differences are between brands.  I have always used vice, but looking at a few online sites have seen the following: vice, turbo, contour, pro sports, and tenth frame.  Is there much of a difference in the various brands assuming the same type of grip, ie ovals.  Where is the best place online to buy them?

"vice" is actually Vise-Grips.

"Contour Power grips" is a brand of Pro Sports Inc.

I've found Contour Super Softs similar in feel to Vise-grips. Vise-grips has 1/2 sizes which can be very helpful, but I prefer the feel of Contour grips.

I found Bowlers Choice,
http://www.bowlerschoice.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=Bowlerschoice&Product_Code=PSCG&Category_Code=grips
to have the cheapest prices and best service with regardto Contour grips.

Vise-grips & Turbo are available from many online places, including Buddies:

Charlest,
Thanks for the link to bowlers choice, they seem to have good prices on grips.  I'm still leaning on sticking with the vice grips right now.  Anyone else have any opinions or links?
