    Vise to me is better. Not a big fan of Turbo. Seems that the sizes are off a bit and dont tend stay tacky.

    Have actually bowled with both. My thinking, it would depend on what you want out of your ball on any given night. Just bowled in the State Tourney in Houston and replaced my vise with Turbo. Funny thing was when teams came around on Sunday, I changed back to Turbo. LOLOL
    I can obviously go with either. Right now my Heat has Turbo and my 900 Breaker has Vise.
    Go with what serves your release the best IMHO.

    I don't like the "bumps" in turbo grips either, luckily my driller carries vise. There's a bit of a different feel between the grips too and I prefer vise for that reason as well.

    Does vise have different density grips? I've noticed in my older equipment the grips have a certain feel to them, but in my most recent ball, the grips almost feel spongier (if thats a word) with slightly more tackiness to them.
    Grips compress with use over time and become harder. There's probably the natural process of the material losing moisture over time as well. New grips always seem to feel softer and spongier (yes, it is a word) and generally tend to fit better. That's why you often hear advice on changing out your grips every 60 games or so.
