Improves comfort, but product does not come with complete usage and installation information. For example, the directions refer to a leather strip on the bow, but our bow had no leather part at all. Also, there is no guidance as to when to use both cushions, rather than just one of them. A word about this would have helped.

Easy, fast, quick delivery. Could give better information on product usage and installation.

I love the way these feel but at $4.50 apiece (on sale) I hesitate to describe them as a good deal, etc. -you would think a small piece of foam would cheaper, but what do I know? Just a fiddler

Helped my son when his bow grip started to fall apart and couldn’t get to luthier to fix it right away. Had to work to get it on the bow but it is nice and cushy and easy on the thumb. You will need to take off the old grip to get this on.

Improved my bow hold and takes the pressure off my pinky finger as well. Creates a better sound.

This bow grip is a great addition for students who are very touch sensitive. It helps them maintain the proper thumb hold in a comfy manner.

Thumb saver. Good for me as I'm playing many hours these days.

Great product but reeeaaalllyyyy hard to slip on.

Works well so far, although it's only been about a week. It's hard to fit over the grip, and impossible to take off, so I had to cut one off my one bow- somehow in applying it, the hair got damaged. So I cut it off that bow and put it on another bow, so I have 2 on that bow, one for the thumb and one for the index finger. The latter is the cut one, and it keeps rotating, so I had to duct tape it closed.

Good

The grips are fine but, honestly, for the price I can get both comparable 'pencil grips' made of the same neoprene rubber, as well as nicer (IMO) textured grips called 'Omni Grip' in a pack of 6 for about the same price. For anyone experimenting with their bow hold by using a grip of sorts, I'd recommend exploring a number of options for comfort and wear.

Guest checkout feature feels 'on par' with account holders. Input form very easy to navigate. PayPal button clearly visible and routing return worked well.

I bought this from JSI and have been using mine for over a year now. It did wear a little thin on one side, and since I am cheap, I just twisted it so it started wearing it down in a different place. I used to have so much pain in my index finger when I played, especially in long sessions and shows - now I don't!

I purchased these thinking they might be a bit longer than the grips made for pens because of their price, but they are the same just black. I will not get them again because they cost too much for what you get. Just get the colored ones made for pens and save your money.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
