Sure, of course he has not. Blame the victim.

4 year old grips that I paid $79 for are cheap? Most everything on the market these days is chinese! The politicians let tons of jobs leave our shores. Time to bring 'em back.

I received the leather wraps and laced them on. Will give them some time and see how they work out.

Post up a picture. Has the diameter of the grips changed much?

Never coming back. We elected them. They are getting kick backs from these companies. How else do they become billionairs while in congress? Only one way to change things and 'We The People' don't give a ****.

Yes, and the SC just made these payoffs legal, calling them "gratuities" instead of what we all know they are: bribes, kickbacks, and influence peddling.

only if you're wearing one of those rare vintage white leather jackets ...yes with fringe. How old are the grips?

The grip diameter is notice-ably larger. My hands are larger than average, so that is of little concern. They are rather slippery. Guess I need to increase my grip strength. Update: Slipperyness is going away.
