I checked out some sticks at GC the other day that had these gripps on them and was pleasantly surprised how comfortable they felt.
I don't know if they might be a bit tough to use on sticks for a complete gig, but in the store they seemed non- chaffing.
I've found for the past few years that my grip and technique benefits from using paraffin wax (use True Value blocks) lightly rubbed onto the sticks' surfaces where I grip, so the Stick Gripps seem to offer an alternative that wouldn't require constant re-waxing. $8 for a pair at GC is worth a trial run in my case.
But a GC review said while the product worked, they were difficult to heat-shrink onto the sticks (as their video demo shows for installation). I don't have a heat gun, just a hair blower that won't be hot enough, so I'm wondering if anyone was able to successfully install them and if they liked them over a period of time.
