Grips? Your preferences?

[scottymoney]

I haven't seen much on here as far as what grips people use. Just wondering what people prefer. I right now have one ball with oval and one with the power oval (i think this is what they are called. oval shape with the straight edge). Anyway would like to hear what people prefer, I know it is purely self preference but would like to hear ideas on why certain people use certain things. Whatever I end up picking, I am going to have the other grips on my balls replaced with these.

After I learned how to release a ball I realized I don't like power grips, just ovals.

I like just ovals. The 4 in ones are a waste to me because I don't like the lifts (oval with straight edge) and I don't like the ones with the bumps or grooves in them because they tend to tear up my fingers when I get into game 6+. Some people believe the lifts, bumps, and grooves creates revolutions but I really don't need anymore revolutions than what I have now.

i'm using what you described as a power oval grip, never tried other grips.... i must do this!

I use Turbo Grips. Have for as long as I can remember (which is getting to be a shorter and shorter span of time...)

I used to swear by grips, I used ovals for a while and then went to vacu grips with the oval. Now I don't use grips at all. It is like taking a glove off, I feel like I can feel the ball come off my fingers so much better and whether it is true or not I feel like I have more control.

I prefer the half moon grips!

Power ovals. I've tried the lumps, bumps and chumps too. I'm trying the gel kind next round of grip changes. I'm also going to use all white grips so I can see my ball rotation easier (blind ba$tard)

I use Vise Ovals.

There was another I really liked The Turbo Mesh grips, the only thing was the mesh would wear off pretty quick.

I'd like to see someone who uses Finger Slugs.

I would like to try a few different ones but nothing here locally. How does bare (no grip) feel?

I'd like to see someone who uses Finger Slugs.

I know a two hander who uses them. He's like me, fingers are conventional (minus the thumb) He say the slugs help him get out fast and clean. With two handed, you don't squeeze with your fingers, and you dont really grip with them. They are just along for the ride until the end when they create the rotation. So when they come out faster, and cleaner, it give you more speed and more revs. At least that's how he explained it to me.

I like using the finger grips for the comfort part of it instead of pressing on the hard ball finger holes. I like the ones with the little lip on it called power lifts I think. I have used fingertip grips ever since I started league bowling in 1978. God! I was only 31 then. Waaaaaaah.

I had been bowling in a league for three years by then. Didn't switch to figertip drilling and grips till four years ago.
