I think the shock absorber grips are good on top of something else as the top is too thin for my liking but the control grips are thick enough on their own I reckon. GM know how to design a good grip!

Was just about to put that I'm liking the one on my halo, torn between the control grip and shock absorba :/

Just have both, I have a shock absorba underneath a control grip, really comfy. I think it it was Liam on here that suggested this.

try buliding it up with tape and keep adding tape till you get it right you might have to add some glue on the tape so it stops your grip from sliping in ur hands  ;)

Haha just reading this, I have a Shock-Absorba over a Control on my Icon. Debating whether to build up the top bit with tape and stick with a Control grip or stick with the tried and tested which worked for me last year.

I'm at the other end of the scale with bloody gloves. Last time I went into Globe, only the GM and Kookaburra gloves fit

Just a quick update, after a bit of playing around I decided I need a thin handle at the top for my midget hands. However, I prefer a thicker oval bottom hand. Keeps my right hand off the handle and in a good position. Plus I prefer the pickup with 2 grips. I've gone for a one and a half solution, with a grippy octopus half grip on the bottom. It looks a bit strange as I've put over the present grip but it's a temporary measure to see how it goes.

This is what I like, but with the half grip under the chevron - as it looks tidier and saves your glove!

I've also added a bit of insulating tape to the ayrtek on the handle, as it was less oval than I would like. Just to lengthen it out.

If it works for me Buzz I'll stick it under or cut the chevron and buy two octopus grips. I have two pairs of gloves to wear down  :)

I have spotted a orange/black octopus grip for the tempo  :D
