Tim Gillingham sells grips in various slopes (3, 6, 9, and 12 degree) and also narrow or wide. I think they are about $50-60

They attach with double sided tape and are supposed to be more solid than the stock grip and more textured. I've been wanting to try one but haven't yet.

You have to contact him through Facebook.

I picked up TG's 6&9° clutch grips. I have a better wrist angle with the 9 and my buddy has the 6 on his R35 target rig and wants another 6 for his other R35. The only way to reach TG is through his FB messenger.
Here's a couple photos to assist you on your decision.
Stock 0°

Stock 3°

TGs 6°

TGs 9°

ton of youtube vids on the subject...using thermoplastic, (what I used) and/or log putty (dark gray has a core of hardner...you kneed to mix it but it sets rigid..one time use) .

The Poly Plastic is cool. white beads you place in hot (boiling) water...they melt turning clear. turns into silly putty consistency...moldable to desire I just placed a blob in my hand, gripped my bow and squeezed a shape...as it cools it get less compliant and you can shape to desire. Reshape as many times as you like by reheating. Careful though you need to be able to handle HOT stuff in your hand doing it this way

I decided to bit the bullet and order a Gillingham 6 degree narrow grip today. He said he's leaving for Alaska in two weeks, so I don't know when I'll get it. Not in a rush since I don't want to change it in the middle of archery season.

I saw he's currently filming new Bowtech stuff with Paige Pearce...
