Ok, I shot my bow a few times today, and I know that I was very successful with it thisseason, no deer got away and everything was great, however, when I shot at home I was horrible. I could not get used to such a fast bow and short brace height,. One thing I took notice of was the grip on the bow, the X Force has a very thin grip, I always felt it to be a problem,so I wrapped it with black atheletic tape and made it softer and fatter. Wow! what a difference it made in my groups. I shot great today, and the vibration and noise was much less than before. I can't to get that string suppressor on it and see what it does!! Anyone care to explain the change in shooting b/c of the wrap on the grip??

Couldn't tell you. My story is just the opposite. From a former Mathews shooter (and that grip)......I went to a Shrewd on the Mathews to a switch to the bowtech line.
I was alway used to a thicker grip on my older bows, I think it may help with how the grip fits in my palm..?? By the G, your deer look great like that on the wall, almost as good looking as you!!

The tape is obviously insulating your hand from the Vibration. As far as the grip I have always preferred the slimmer grips. That was my biggest knock on Mathews the 6 years I shot them.Depending on how much you wrapped the grip that can change your draw length a tad also, maybe that's part of the difference.
Meanv, I never thought of it changing my DL. Maybe... it seems to be working well whatever I did to it. G, I let the grip rest right in the valley of my hand actually, kinda of on the ball joint almost..
