Nope. I haven't had any experience with them. I haven't even heard of them until just now. I think it's a cool and revolutionasy idea. I would consider using them but I like the semi-circle power grips better.

Demo, the Switch Grip system is for the thumb. Its great if you have a thumb that changes size drastically, and a lot.

Then they need to be a little bit more clear about it or I need to learn how to read better (probably the latter). That seems like a really cool idea but isn't the thumb changing sizes the result of the thumb hole not being fitted or being drilled right?

It's a cool product, but I probably won't have to use it for a while yet. And I still think it would be cool if they also made it so that you could switch out your finger grips too.

From day to day, you retain different amounts of water in your system based on the temperature outside to what you ate during the day. I bowled in a tourney on Friday night and my thumb was really tight. I had chips during the day. Everyone's body is different. My thumb normally doesn't fluctuate all that much. A guy I bowl with uses anywhere from 2 to 6 pieces of tape in his thumb hole depending on the night. From day to day in Chicago, the weather could vary 30-40 degrees. That will play havoc with anyone's grip.
