    If you'll go over to AT there are several custom grip makers over there.

    I'm thinking real hard about trying the Gripwerks as well, I've heard nothing but good things about them!

    Default You might...

    ...also try Johnson grips. I've had several grips that he's made for my bow, the latest being my Synergy. They're made be Scott Whiteford at Viking Archery in Houston, TX. Here are a couple of pics.

    Hope that helps...

    Do those grips really promote more of medium wrist grip? Not sure if I would really like that very much or not, I can't say that I've ever tried anything other than a standard low wrist grip. Do you mind if I ask how much does a grip like that go for?

    ...I don't exactly remember. A number is sticking in my head as $75, but I'd have to check. He's done great work in the past, so I don't ask. I consider his grips the best. I've actually had grips from a couple of different companies, I like his the best and find them the most functional.

    As far as the changing of the way I grip the bow, now that I know how to shoot the correct way (like a tournament archer) the grip actually helps me to maintain good wrist form that I can repeat. The meat right under my thumb rests over the top of the grip, with the crease of my hand settling right in on the edge of the grip; and my hand points at a 45-degree angle like it's supposed to. Before I got a little coaching from a local guru, I shot full low wrist. I could never shoot the other way, ever, but with this grip I can, and I can repeat over and over. My buddy has pretty much the same bow and when I try to shoot his with the stock Elite grip I'm all over the place. I can never settle in on a consistent grip; now that I've gotten used to shooting the right way, the low wrist style is wayyyy too low for me. This is just me, though.

    I'm sure this grip isn't good for everyone, only everyone I know who has his grips. I've never known anyone not to be completely happy with 'em. Scott's been making grips forever, he can make it with whatever grip style you like, with high wrist, low wrist, somewhere in between, etc. I just happened to like mine the way he made it. He makes 'em all custom as you order 'em, so how you order it is how you'll get it, unless for some reason a riser design or other issue makes it impossible.

    Just adding in another option, man. Go with whatever you feel comfortable with.

    I'm not 100% sure but I believe he makes the custom grips that Crackers sells. Johnson that is. I believe he is a friend of Javi.

    ...and I think he's actually made some grips for Elite as well, thought I read that somewhere. He used to be here in Dallas, so many of us up here got to see his work. He makes some really cool stag grips (out of antlers and stuff) too. Really talented guy, he knows a boat load about bows and archery in general.
