Post by: the sleeze on August 20, 2008, 09:52:01 AM
What have you found to be the difference(if any)between the two. Preference? Why?

Turbo to me is way softer and gushier and easier on the fingers.

I for the most part use the clear mesh power ovals from turbo they seem to be more generous on the hand while still providing me much more grip

I agree that the vise grips can feel a little hard.  You should replace your grips periodically anyway so I can't say I have ever had any problem with mine breaking apart on me.  I replace mine yearly.

I don't mean "breaking" but I found that the rubber wears of and the grips get wider with time.... longest time I have ver used a single pair was ofer one year... then I had to replace them as they were too wide then...

Not surprising.  Soft rubber inserts aren't meant to last forever.  They actually should be replaced more than once a year, depending on how often you use the ball.  I'd recommend more in the once every 6 months range.
