Could someone tell me what the softest most pliable grips that are on the market?

I know there are some new Vise Grips out there that are pretty soft.  Cohens Strike Zone here in Atlanta has a full blown display from Vise Grips he just got about a month ago.  Also.....there is something out there called a Vacu-Grip as well.  I believe Vise Grips makes that grip also.

If anyone out there is worried about the scores being too high, try duckpin!!

Vacu-Grips aren't any softer than a regular insert...it's just a method for allowing an undersized grip the "give room" necessary for a bowler to fit their fingers while still being attached to the ball.  

I'll have to check with a friend of mine, but I recall him using grips that felt and looked like silicone.  They were super soft and tacky...but they didn't last very long.

I've heard that Turbo Grips' "Ms. Quads" are made of a softer material.  Don't know for sure though.

True enough...but those aren't the grips I was thinking of.  The ones that I have seen look like a trans yellowish color...almost like a milky PVC tube.
