What exactly do you not like? Is it the angle or the contact area or comfort or what?.

I have the same feelings on the new rubber grip. I think grip tape is probably the best choice (or the best I have found).

 

I tried the rubber grip, threw that thing in the trash. I get the sandpaper/skateboard tape and put it just in the back of the grip area. Much better!

 

this^^^^^^ makes a world of difference

 

Could it be the shape of the riser/shelf that you dont like? I know they feel funny to me. I'm used to the Mathews grip with side plates, and anything with that lump on the shelf just isn't for me. Just can't get my hand rotated and up enough to feel right to me. Just a thought since you just came from a traverse.

Bingo dang is there not a way to make it feel like a Mathews or hoyt

 

You may not like it, but it's hard to argue that a flat back grip is more repeatable. It's not meant to be comfortable. Go look at what the pros shoot, to include Mathews and Hoyt pros. Almost every single one is running a flat back grip on their target bows. PSE just makes it a standard across the board, even on the cheap Stinger.

My 2016 PSE 25" X-Appeal recurve riser has the same angled base underneath the atrocious wood grip that came with it. I got tired of shooting off just the riser because it was a little thin, and it looked silly with no grip, so I modified the factory grip into side plates. Took some cutting, filing, sanding, and fine tuning the fitment... got it how I wanted, then stained it. Problem solved, problem staying solved.

 

Very nicely done! I also prefer a flat back grip, definitely most consistent for me. I usually make my own, this is one that I made but they are all pretty much the identical shape.

I have used Sugru to mold grips on my Evoke and Nxt.

 

Has anybody tried the grip by rattler? Just ran across it looks pretty close to a Hoyt maybe?

 

bowmar grip tape on the back with Rattler Grip side plates and its very comfy, both my PSEs have this setup. its more comfortable than the riser alone and most consistent than with the thick rubber grip.

Very nice. OP: here's your answer.

 

I really have no issues with it off the riser.
I might try some sugru on the back to add more angle , but won't add anything on the sides.

I recently got one of the grips Tom Gillingham sells for bowtechs and it is really nice. He has 4 different degrees to choose from, and 2 different widths , so 8 different options.
I got a 9 degree, regular width for my bowtech it is pretty sweet.

 

I wrapped mine in baseball bat grip tape.i like big and thick grip

 

I did this on my Carbon Air
I like it, no more slippage.
It doesn’t have side plates but I have done this before with bows that did and simply reinstall the side plates over it
