Grip material weight comparison
Grip material weight comparison
Just got carbon grips first time, so I managed to test how light it is. I weighted three similar split grip butts. Carbon, EVa and Cork. EVA has just little bigger id hole, so result "lies" a bit.
Lightest:
1) Carbon, 3,8g (31% lighter thank cork)
2) EVA, 4,2g (23% lighter than cork)
3) Cork, 5,5g.

Re: Grip material weight comparison
I have a set of carbons. I like them. I put a thin layer of epoxy on them to make the carbon texture pop.
The one bad thing is that I got the black and pink ones and the pink looked more like lavender

Re: Grip material weight comparison
do you have a link for the carbon grips???
Re: Grip material weight comparison
I always thought cork weighed the least! Great information
Re: Grip material weight comparison
Even with the inserts on carbon these numbers have me stumped?..

Re: Grip material weight comparison
Wouldn't you want to go heavier rather than lighter on the butt grips for Balance?

It depends. If i have shorter than 7' rod what weights under 110g, bit tip heavy doesnt count. Overall weight is so light.Dug wrote:Wouldn't you want to go heavier rather than lighter on the butt grips for Balance?

Re: Grip material weight comparison
That makes sense, and really there is less than 2 grams difference between the Cork and carbon Butts so it's marginal.
I know, every bit counts.....
Thanks
