Sounds like power grips. Did you use ovals before?

As long as you like them... no worries!

Need to get some new grips in my No Mercy. Think it would make the feel alot better.

We discussed this a while back... talked about the feel of different colors of grips. At the time I really liked the White and Yellow that most of my stuff had in the,.

Well now I have two bowling balls with Red and the feel is great.

As long as the feel is everything you want, then no worries.

Have not tried the clear grips, but I did try the clear thumb slug from Vise Grips. It was a horrible piece of crap. The feel was not good for me. the material is alot harder.

I like the slugs because I can make part of it very smooth. The clear never smoothed out as well.

I like the feel of the clear Vise ICE grips and the Vise red grips. It's kind of strange how just from color to color they have a different feel.

Finger grips and thumb slugs are the greatest thing invented since sliced white bread!:) Think I'm kidding??? Take a ball,have it drilled,use only cork and tape to adjust the fit and feel. After a season of fooling around with that mess you'll understand how us "more expierienced" players feel about them. I won't roll a ball that doesn't have them in it.

It's all about feel... grips or no grips. Look at how many pros don't use grips.

Honestly I like the feel of the yellow grips, as well. I've thought about trying a w/o inserts and just using a slug. It pretty easy to get the inserts added if you don't like the feel.

I'm the same way, although at the demo days I was at last week I threw with grips and scored really well but it felt horrible, I love a slug though cause it makes the release a lot smoother.

True Tenpin, its a lot harder and more expensive to go from grips to no grips.
