Am I the only one who gets excited to try the newest gear but also dreads it because of the ever increasing cost?
....did you mean first version of the Mathews or Ultraview grip?If they fix all the things I found annoying about the first version of the Mathews grip, then it's interesting. But the price could be a deal breaker
Yes. I owned the first one and shot it for a while but sold it. The biggest thing was I thought the throat of the grip was too wide to feel comfortable in the webbing of your hand and being a wider grip I felt like it actually promoted more torquing over side plates. If they toned those areas down and shaped them a little better it would be interesting. Of course, everyone is different when it comes to feel but it was a common complaint I think so it may have been addressed....did you mean first version of the Mathews or Ultraview grip?
From the get go, just to attain a decent grip and set of strings and cables that won't stretch, you're out $250. And that's before any of the fun accessories! Most frustrating part about Mathews, yet I still shoot them lol$100 for a small piece of plastic. Yikes!
Add that to the cost of a Mathews along with all of the overpriced Mathews accessories. A simple Mathews hunting bow should run you > $3k lol.
Throat looks thinner to my eyeFrom that picture it looks even bulkier than their first grip. No thanks.
Wow, early access! That lip extension on the shelf looks pretty big. Looks like it could get in the way of a Hamskea whale tail. Is the wrist angle about the same as the original?It is thinner at the throat of the grip and a bit grippier than the original. I like it better so far

I almost forgot about that pocket under the grip. Still no word on what that’s for. Will be interesting to see.Hmmm I seem to remember a thread or two mentioning the Phase 4 having a machined pocket under the grip for some super secret accessory coming next yr. Knowing how tight knit Kolby and Chris are with Mathews if the new profile was also to help integrate with whatever the top secret overpriced add-on they are releasing for ‘24.
FWIW I like the new shape thanx for the leak @xdr
