Does anybody have any pics of the custom grips they use--would love to see some of the grips available that people actually have tried and chose over other grips.RACK,how 'bout it?

Hmm..I'm a stickler for grips, but the only ones I find I cannot get used to these days are stuff from the smaller manufacturers...stuff like Champions grip, Pearsons grip, and a few others..big solid once piece grips.

I didn't like the grip on my Cougar III either...even without the BF goodrich all terrain they epoxy onto it . The height is good, but it was too deep like the Hoyt MagnaTec grip.

I can deal w/ the Mathews comp grip..but it's one of those grips that takes me some time to get used to. Most guys who come into the shop have a real problem with torquing them..they require a bit of experimentation to get right.

My personal pet peeve is that most grips these day are too low wrist for me. I prefer some heel height (but not width). My fave grip ever was the 1999-2000 Hoyt grip on models like the Striker II, Defiant XT, Havoc, etc. Had good height, not too deep, not too wide-not too thin (with the side plates off).

But grips are one of these things where you'll never please everyone.

Jeez, I shelled out $110 for my custom grip, but I ain't complaining at all. It was worth it.

I have had my bow for 5 or 6 years(Ultr-Max), and I cannot ever remember thinking there was a problem with the grip. If I do end up buying a new bow, and am force to go with one with a brace close to 8", I will use the Mathews grip as a form for a new grip to increase stroke.
